Comment period ends on Monday for a proposed rule change that would terminate student visas after 4 years. It also puts limits on exchange visitors and reps of foreign media, and shortens the length of time at the end of the visa from 60 days to 30 days.

Whether you think limiting student visas to 4 years is a good or bad thing, please comment. Be heard.

For our #flowcytometry peeps, would you like to have a single fix/perm protocol that is optimised for everything? One that preserves fluorophores while allowing simultaneous TF and cytokine staining? How about 100-fold cheaper?

This week, we celebrated an extraordinary scientist, my mentor, Lee Herzenberg. She received an honorary degree (with Usher :). We hosted a symposium in her honor with Max Cooper, alumni, and others. I was thrilled to share her incredible story with the young generation @emoryuniversity.bsky.social.
