Healthy heart cells vs SARS-CoV-2 infected heart cells. We looked deeper into how COVID-19 wreaks havoc in the heart. Could help explain why so many people have lasting heart defects even after recovery. #cardiovid #SARScomeres biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Firing the four Minneapolis police officers is not justice. The police officer who killed George Floyd should be charged with murder. And the others may be accomplices to that murder. huffpost.com/entry/minneapol…

If I had been this wrong about the pandemic I think I would just shut the fuck up about suggestions on what to do next xitter.cf/elonmusk/status/124075…

Mike Pence literally does not believe in science. It is utterly irresponsible to put him in charge of US coronavirus response as the world sits on the cusp of a pandemic. This decision could cost people their lives. Pence’s past decisions already have.
Vice President Mike Pence says in leading the White House response to the coronavirus, he will be “bringing together” all the members of the coronavirus task force and will provide President Trump with “the best options for action.” abcn.ws/382br0Y

US statement that it will no longer refuel #Saudi bombers over #Yemen is not a military game-changer. What's significant is that the US looks to be distancing itself from the horrors. Question now is: will this be enough to satisfy Congress or will it encourage further pressure?

“We need to celebrate women physicists because they’re out there… I’m honoured to be one of those women," says Donna Strickland. She becomes the third woman to receive the #NobelPrize in Physics, joining Maria Goeppert-Mayer (1963) and Marie Curie (1903). Congratulations!
