Excited to share our new paper identifying NCF1 mutations in chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) in 47/48 pateints. NCF1 diagnosis is impacted by gene duplication resulting in 2 pseudogenes each of which delete 2 bases causing frameshift.

When we were children, we were taught that no matter how you reached, no matter much wealth and power you accumulated, you were not above the law.
We can no longer teach our children that.
And that's really fucking tragic.

I work on a rare fungal infection, endemic mostly to the deserts of US and Mexico. Reporting on the disease is nice, Daily Mail isn’t exactly known for fact checking though. 🤣

Thousands are struck down by incurable fungus
Valley Fever - which got its name because a majority of cases are found in Arizona and California - is a deadly lung infection that kills one in 100 people that contract it.

Spent a fabulous morning with my friends. They brought their two kids out to see the sheep and I took them for a tractor ride. Love the joy they had!

![The image is a tweet from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) that reads:
“This is good, actually. She barely shows up and doesn’t do the reading.
To borrow a phrase I saw elsewhere, it’s like giving someone an unplugged controller.”
Below her tweet is a quote tweet of CNBC (@CNBC), which states:
“Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tapped to work with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy as new DOGE subcommittee chair [link].”
The CNBC tweet is timestamped 14 hours ago from the time of the screenshot.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xjc7mkotpenvhh6ffewkdpyn/bafkreihbkmq5az3c2qm4ytifcvh25wj4mgjvdfnum47m3syzfedzthgflm@jpeg)

We deserve answers. There’s a place between rolling over and storming the Capitol. The silence from Dem leadership is deafening.

My morning starts with coffee, followed by a romp with my dogs and checking on the sheep. Not a bad way to find some peace these days.
