I just moved to adjourn the Rules Committee. Republicans should reconvene us in the morning & debate in the light of day—not in the middle of the night like cowards. If they think Trump's ugly bill is so damn beautiful, they should have the courage to debate it in prime time.

Taming the World’s Leading Killer An article was published this week that has findings which could save millions of lives. Why did you miss it? Because there was zero media coverage of it. Zero! Tells you something. Tells you a lot, actually. So, here are the details. 1/thread

PCR is so deeply embedded in our lives now, thanks to COVID tests. In the lab, of course, it's now purely plug-and-play. So let's take a moment to appreciate how critical and kick-ass was Brock's discovery of thermostable enzymes. nytimes.com/2021/04/22/scien…

My mom is retired, & she spends her winters volunteering at a sea turtle rescue center in south Texas. The cold snap is stunning the local turtles & they’re doing a lot of rescues. She sent me this photo today of the back of her Subaru. It’s *literally* turtles all the way down.

.@UMassMedical taking part in the COVID-19 vaccine trials. The doctor who is leading it shares his thoughts on whether it’s possible for a vaccine to be ready by fall. And he says they’re looking for more volunteers. @NBC10Boston

You know things are pretty screwed up when a former NIH director writes a @nytimes op-ed with the headline "Ignore the CDC" nytimes.com/2020/08/31/opini…

UMass Medical School is enrolling healthy volunteers to take part in a #COVID19 #vaccine trial led by @Pfizer and @BioNTech_Group. Info on who's eligible and how to enroll is in our #UMassMedNews story: bit.ly/3lyLmyS #UMassMedical
Quote from Robert W. Finberg, MD, who is leading the local enrollment of the COVID-19 Vaccine Trial: "I think what we will know by the fall is whether people make antibodies in response to the vaccine."
