The Christian story of Mary and Joseph isn't frozen in amber from 2,000 years ago. It has direct relevance to us today. What would Mary and Joseph look like today?
Merry Christmas, everyone.

This is how we create CAR-T cells, harnessed by the body's own immune system to kill #cancer cells in leukemia/lymphoma patients.
T cells are harvested from the patient, activated then injected back to go on a killing spree.
Thank #NIH funding for this development.

Huge shoutout to all the NIH scientific review officers and external academics who stepped up after the government shutdown to help reschedule hundreds of study sections. Thanks to this great community, my fellowship review was rescheduled within two months of its original review date 🧪

the defensiveness and incredulity of a good chunk of the commentary class toward arguments about trump’s racism is, imho, downstream of the same impulse behind the endless trump voter safaris and self-flagellation about being out of touch with the heartland
Thinking back to how people were "hysterical" for calling trump white supremacist and now he's doing nordic theory on the campaign trail

anyone remember what it was like before this? I do. More HBV means more patients with **preventable** end-stage liver failure and low odds of survival to transplant (if a match can be found at all).
As a reminder, today's meeting is all about hepatitis B (HBV) vaccination, specifically the dose of vaccine given within 24 hours of birth universally. This is a critically important policy intervention that enabled us to drastically reduce the incidence of hepatitis B:

The foreign-born fraction of the US population was 15% in 1890, and in 1910. America thrived.
That fraction is 16% now.
The difference is that in 1890/1910, >96% of immigrants were from Europe or Canada. Today that's less than 10%.
It's best to be honest about one one is actually afraid of.

Rep. Kat Cammarck: "Today, one in six people in the US is foreign born. That quite frankly is not sustainable to maintain a culture that we are known for here in the United States."

No surprise the Trump NIH director doesn’t understand how science works—doesn’t get NIH has been *the* world-historic leader in innovation.
After all, he’s never actually done any science.
Even before his rightwing pundit career 2020-25, he spent his time with economists, not scientists.

The NIH director told attendees the NIH doesn't do enough innovative research.
“What puts lives at risk is doing research that’s incremental,” Bhattacharya said. “All it does is advance the careers of the researchers that do it. It results in publications that don’t get used and aren’t replicable.”

Every day we wake up in a 30 rock storyline
A man in Pennsylvania had been cleaning a shotgun and placed it on the bed. Officers were informed that “a dog had jumped up onto the bed, causing the shotgun to go off, which openly struck the male.”

The man had been cleaning a shotgun and placed it on the bed shortly before it was fired. He received treatment at an area hospital.
