Flashback to 2020:
CA official: "If we ignore the science and put our head in the sand... we're not going to succeed together protecting Californians."
Trump: "It'll start getting cooler. You just watch."
"I wish science agreed with you."
Trump: "I don’t think science knows, actually."
Fascinating study, with clues towards hope for those at high risk for Alzheimer’s, and possible Alzheimer’s in general, as we learn more about the interactions of the different APOe genes statnews.com/2024/06/19/alzh… via @statnews

The American Heart Association guidelines for HCM treatment have just been updated for 2024. Cynthia Burstein Waldman @Cynaburst does a great job of breaking down the changes for you in this article from her blog HCMbeat: facebook.com/share/2ueWxZmkK…

Can the media please stop saying that “people don’t want Biden?” He literally won New Hampshire by 30+ points yesterday & got more votes than any presidential candidate in history in 2020. We do want President Biden & to suggest otherwise is deeply insulting & a lie.

Reading this article should be required for all clinical geneticists and genetic counselors. So many insights from the perspective of a large family dealing w/ devastating autosomal dominant Frontotemporal dementia nytimes.com/2023/07/20/magaz…
Important early data from @MasriAhmadMD and @Cytokinetcs about #aficamten in non-obstructive HCM at #ACC
Here are the results of the #REDWOOD #HCM Cohort 4 trial. Follow along.
We enrolled 41 patients with non-obstructive HCM (nHCM) in an open label multi-center international phase II study

Exciting news from the LIVE-#HCM study at #ACC23. Kudos to @sday_hcm, Dr. Lampert@Yale and Michael J. Ackerman MD,PhD for bringing hope for a more normal and vigorous life to HCM patients !
via @NYTimes A fine tribute to Dr. Audrey Evans, whom I had the privilege of meeting once. At the age of 75, she still preferred to take the stairs rather than the elevator and I struggled to keep up with her! nytimes.com/2022/09/30/healt…
This important new study found a 10.9 percent gain in HCM genetic diagnoses that would have been missed in patients with suspected genetic cardiomyopathy or arrhythmia jamanetwork.com/journals/jam… genomeweb.com/molecular-diag…

Bohemian rhapsody for postdocs:
Is this a real job?
Or more like a PhD?
Caught in short contracts
No chance of stability
Open your eyes
Look up to PIs and see
I'm just a postdoc
I get no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
Stress is high
Pay is low

It’s time this loud and sometimes angry #womeninstemm threw in her 2 cents to the @NHMRC investigator grant gender equity discussion. First, it’s bloody brilliant the data has been analysed, modelled and some BIG options put forward. High five to everyone who helped do that /1
