😭 Not the UC Provost claiming that postdocs and grad students are only "part-time" workers. 😭😭😭 #FairUCNow
ALT A letter from the UC Provost with the following sentence underlined in red: "The part-time, professionally relevant work in which student employees engage helps recruit and support them while they earn their graduate degrees or, particularly in the case of postdocs, prepare to advance their careers as scholars."

Accepting a fellowship should not punish the trainee!
Yet @harvardmed changes the status of postdocs, from “salary” to “stipend” when a postdoc becomes a fellow, resulting in a net loss of ~$3k/yr in compensation due to:

Scientists have developed tattoos that change color in response to glucose, albumin, and pH levels. The new tech could let people with diabetes or kidney disease track and control their health without having to take frequent blood samples. doi.org/10.1002/anie.2019044…

Forced birth in a country with:
—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations
This isn't about "life." It's about control.

A child at Robb Elementary repeatedly called 911 during the hour the gunman was inside, per press briefing just now. Gunshots could be heard over the line. "Please send the police now," the child asked.

Our paper is online @Nature! FIBSEM imaging of native tissue & automated segmentation led us to identify that regulation of ER architecture is part of metabolic mal/adaptation. @apsarruda @ghotamis @HHMINEWS @HHMIJanelia @refikanadol @MET_HSPH @Harvard

As I’m watching husbands and fathers say goodbye to their loved ones, their children, not knowing if they will ever see them again, I just cannot believe that for two years we’ve been watching people cry and protest over having to wear a fucking mask.

#NatMetabPicks | In case you missed it, in @Nature, the lab of @ghotamis (@HarvardChanSPH, @broadinstitute) identify the hormone fabkin (FABP4) as a critical regulator of an endocrine axis, which coordinates energy state & metabolic organ function.

After more than a decade of work, we discovered a novel hormone complex named Fabkin, and have an exciting mechanism to explain the mechanism of hormonal FABP4 action. Congratulations to @KaceyPrentice @JaniSaksi and all contributors-collaborators 👏🧿.
