Just found out my inaugural poem The Hill We Climb has been banned from an elementary school in Miami-Dade County because it causes "confusion and indoctrination". Thx for your work reporting this news @FLFreedomRead @MiamiHerald . Visit my page for my fundraiser to combat book bans like these
Here are the documents we shared w/ @smbrugal of the @MiamiHerald.
They restricted THE HILL WE CLIMB by @TheAmandaGorman, forward by @Oprah to grades 6-8 of the @MDCPS K-8 school after a parent complained it was “not educational” & contained “hate messages.” Absurdity.

Very pleased to have shared my most recent data at #celldyn2023 in Lisbon, Portugal. @Co_Biologists @VGamaLab

Payton Washington is in the ICU after she was shot for getting in the wrong car in Texas
Kaylin Gillis was shot to death for driving into the wrong driveway in New York
Ralph Yarl was shot in the head for ringing the doorbell at the wrong house in Missouri
It’s the guns

CONGRATS @GLP_Robertson @VGamaLab on receiving the Steve Hann award for 2023. The Steve Hann Outstanding Graduate Student Award is presented annually to graduate students who exhibit “outstanding performance and evident promise as an independent research scientist and educator.”

Fisk University has always been at the forefront of social justice. Tuesday’s statement in solidarity with the #TNThree and yesterday’s event in support of gun legislation and our democratic rights are merely the latest examples of Fisk’s embedded commitment to a better future for all.

Our peaceful protest was because another preventable school shooting happened at Covenant School in Nashville & the People's House chose to ignore them and expel us instead! We must work tirelessly to protect our kids, communities, to end gun violence, and protect our democracy.

In House Education Admin Committee right now where my Republican colleagues are hearing HB 1202 to allow teachers to carry guns in schools.
Our community is still grieving last week’s mass shooting at Covenant elementary that took 6 lives— their solution is more guns.
Shameful.

Our review on modeling mitochondrial diseases is out! We discuss available models including iPSCs, organoids, and new mtDNA editing approaches. Thanks to reviewers and editor for great input @emboreports

I have never posted about this, mainly for the safety of my spouse & family. But, she has asked me to share in this extremely pivotal moment. We live in TN. My spouse is an OB/GYN and every time she does an abortion to save someones life, she commits a class C felony.

Check out our 'First person' interview with Gabriella Robertson @GLP_Robertson on her PhD @VGamaLab @VanderbiltU, investigating the role of organelle dynamics and metabolic function in early neurodevelopment and disease: ow.ly/s7X350MX51M

The article by Robertson et al. @GLP_Robertson @VGamaLab @VanderbiltU showing that DRP1 mutations associated with EMPF1 encephalopathy alter mitochondrial membrane potential and metabolic programs is #openaccess: ow.ly/bxnw50MX5hi
Vivian Gama retweeted
A new study from the @VGamaLab provides insight into the role of mitochondrial dynamics in cristae maintenance and the metabolic capacity of the cell, as well as the disease mechanism underlying EMPF1.
