Great to see our manuscript with two great mentors as co-authors: Lynn Enquist and Pat Card. If your lab does viral transsynaptic tracing, please take a look.

🐙 ALERT! So when you put an octopus in cold water it recodes 13,000 codons (1/3 of all recoding sites!) via massive RNA editing in the brain!! And this apparently alters the function of synaptic proteins! 🤯🤯🤯 That’s insane (but not for the octopus) cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

Hello @TMobile @TMobileHelp, your coverage in the Princeton Junction, NJ area is really bad. One-bar if you are lucky. Any way it can be improved? Otherwise you will loose a lot of frustrated patrons. Thanks much!

And just like that @SamsungUS takes ZERO accountability for not delivering a fridge ordered one month ago. They don't seem to mind loosing another customer nor had they reimbursed the $ so that I can order from another vendor that is reliable and cares about their customers

Super disappointed of @SamsungUS @SamsungusaUSA @SamsungSupport. Purchased a fridge 3+ weeks ago and delivery keeps getting canceled for lame reasons/lies like "the truck broke" or "truck is full" R E A L L Y? They just don't care about customers and just lost (another) one.

Remember that time in 2008 where the FDA created general public N95 for use during pandemics? How two years into this that @US_FDA and @CDCgov still have not done this?
