Happy International Day of Women & Girls in Science! Today & everyday I am grateful for the opportunity to work alongside & learn from this talented group of women scientists. Funded by grants from the NIH, this team is working to understand how the gut microbiome affects our digestive health.

Always remember that If they build the camps, they will fill the camps.
In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:
- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown
This is unprecedented.

The Trump administration plans to rescind $600 million in public health funds from four states led by Democrats because it finds the grants “inconsistent with agency priorities,” according to documents reviewed by the NYT

Seen in NYC at 425 Park Ave. How exactly do they expect this to work? Scanning sky (at night) while walking?
Average icicle reaches terminal velocity in ca 50 m and then falls at 90 mph. Building is 262 m high. So that is ~7 floors in 1 sec.
How do you watch for that coming towards you from above??

Rita Levi-Montalcini was raised by a strict father who disapproved of women in higher ed.
She convinced him to let her study medicine.
She went on to co-discover the Nerve Growth Factor. She received the Nobel Prize in 1986.
She was another immigrant that gifted the US with pioneering work.

~50° C / 100° F 🌡️ difference. Brutal. But will be nice to get out of the freezing cold and talk some science for a few days.
