Happy Birthday, Hopkins! 2/3💙
NIH has allocated just 33% of its normal budget this year, putting critical medical breakthroughs at risk. Johns Hopkins President Ron Daniels and University of Kansas Chancellor Dr. Douglas Girod are calling on the government to release it before the damage becomes permanent. https://bit.ly/4f3GuzR
JHU president, University of Kansas chancellor urge federal agencies to release congressionally appropriated funds to fuel America's research engine
The irony - painting in background shows George Washington, who had his troops vaccinated against smallpox.

Get this over with already so we can see the figure skating.
Self-assembly can help cells make decisions: see Sam's awesome work!
🚨New paper alert! Using single molecule TIRF microscopy, we show that Nop1 destabilizes RNA structure via transient, nonspecific interactions — until specific assembly of native ribosomal complexes takes over. Congrats, Wilson! 🎉 academic.oup.com/nar/article/...

Abstract. The liquid–liquid phase-separated environment of the eukaryotic nucleolus is proposed to benefit ribosome assembly by chaperoning rRNA folding an
