President Trump and Elon Musk’s funding cuts to groundbreaking medical research do NOT Make America Great. That’s why I’m on the Senate floor introducing a resolution pledging support for NIH & asking for immediate passage. Watch. teapaw.org/i/broadcasts/1lDxLzWgw…

PhD programs are pausing admissions to graduate school due to NIH indirect cost cuts. See the growing number of programs here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets… How is science supposed to advance with fewer trainees, less $ for research? This is devastating.

The letter is meant as a political show of force for Kamala Harris in a tight race with Donald Trump. The first presidential debate is less than a week away.

I had an interesting experience with Marjorie Taylor Greene today. Apparently, she got tired of hearing all the jokes about her being dumb. She decided to prove a point and went home one night to study all the world capitals of every country. Today at work she overheard myself and one of my colleagues who shall remain anonymous making a joke about her. I felt bad because she caught us dead to rights. She said, "You know that's just wrong. I am actually quite educated and intelligent. As a matter of fact, I can tell you the capital of any country in the world." Intrigued, my colleague asked, "Alright then, what's the capital of Spain?" MTG quickly replied, "Easy, that one's an 'S'." We just smiled and nodded.

10 years ago, I got divorced, lost my job, so me and my buddy got on our motorcycles and rode North to the Alaskan Arctic until the road ran out.

I don't know about y'all but I actually get a lot of joy from admitting when I'm wrong versus doubling down on pride and trying to be right. I would rather take pride in learning from someone else or a situation rather than shutting my ears for convenience. Anyone else?

My little guy has been gone almost a year. The one bit of hope is that I can announce that the Charlie Bates Research Award is now available through @APSPhysiology . The deadline is Feb 17. Details in next tweet. Please RT to spread the word…

1/6 It has been exactly two years since I returned to Russia. I have spent these two years in prison. When you write a post like this, you have to ask yourself: How many more of such anniversary posts will you have to write?
