Here's a summary of the great work happening at #harvard (and in other labs) to find a therapy for Usher Syndrome.
I continue to be amazed and impressed by the machine that is science. The work these teams are doing is crazy good - three different types of gene editing and vectors to treat progressive #blindness , based on decades of painstaking, bit-by-bit understanding of cellular and retina biology.
I dunno two major commercial aviation items in the news this week, and not one fatality (from the commercial aircraft). Imagine if we applied this same safety regime to just about anything else …
Hi all- I know we see these all the time — people who have fallen on hard times through no fault of their own. And it pisses me off that our system will literally let people die rather than reform, but here we are. Zelda is a friend-of-a-friend. Please help her stay alive.
Last week's @RATPAC#emcomm panel had several memorable quotes that I really hope we follow up on.
The one about professional emergency services people avoiding #hamradio people and actively discouraging incorporation of hams into plans was hard to hear.
There was a strong consensus that the way forward was "more training" and "appear professional". A quote was "don't show up (to volunteer) dressed like you live under a bridge".
“From search and rescue perspective, any operative would jump to faster, dulplex-er, instant high bandwidth solution in a heartbeat. Emcomm/prepper type would not since the main purpose is not to solve the problem but solving the problem with specific tool that is emotionally being invested in.”
“We treat students, faculty and staff of all backgrounds with dignity. Different experiences and perspectives in our community matter, so we check in regularly, seeking input from all. We blend classroom rigor with meaningful out-of-class support in ways that have helped to make UT a national model.”
Empty words apparently, and referenced in an email I (an alum) sent protesting police presence and actions on campus.
