If you are turned away at the polls-
your verbatim response is: "Give me a provisional ballot with a receipt as required by law."
Pass it on. #Vote

A gentleman and a decent human being who devoted his entire life for public service and for the well being of all Americans. To quote Plato "Courage is knowing what not to fear.”
My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

Congratulations Rafael! You will continue to do amazing, I’m sure!
I am thrilled to share that I will be joining @Cornell as a T-T Assistant Professor to start my own lab this November! #NewPI. Our group will study virus-host interactions with the goal of promoting preparedness. We will soon be hiring at all levels. @CornellPathogen @cornellvet
A recent study on #H5N1 infection in dairy cows and cats found that cats that drank unpasteurized milk from cows infected with H5N1 became seriously ill; over half of affected cats died.

Let's take a moment to reflect and take a minute of silence for all of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Their act(s) of valor and sacrifice are often forgotten by many of us. We salute you and thank you. Never left behind, never forgotten! 🫡 @create_neo @ASTMH

ONE WEEK AGO TODAY: We were expecting a 5 minute photo-op, if we were lucky. Instead, @POTUS took almost a FULL HOUR to give us a detailed, comprehensive tour of the Oval Office & surrounding areas. He was so generous with his time, telling stories about his childhood, his children, his early days in politics & the current issues he feels most passionate about to improve the lives of all Americans. He was everything you wanted him to be & MORE: personable, relatable & funny with the dignity, kindness & empathy that makes him the exact President we need at this point in time. Thank you @JoeBiden- it was an incredible day we'll never forget!

New AI-based CODA workflow maps the spatially resolved mutational profile of pancreatic precursor lesions (PanINs) in large 3D samples.
These CODA maps reveal some PanINs may have a polyclonal origin.

Taking a pancreatic tumor for a spin using CODA.
Using the AI-based CODA workflow, we map a pancreatic tumor and its microenvironment at single-cell resolution.
Key advantages: 3D, huge sample volume, multiple labels, easy multiplexing, single-cell.

Are you a citizen of another country reading this post? (For example, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France, the UK, Ireland, or any of the many other countries.) If so, I have a request.
Your direct and honest opinion is what I'm seeking. Could you share your thoughts on the questions asked by the conservative justices of the United States Supreme Court and their implications?
I want as many people as possible to see and hear how you perceive what is happening in the United States from where you are. I think it's critical to rouse as many citizens of this country as possible before it's too late, and I think YOU...can play a huge role.
Thank you for your contribution. We are in this thing together.
