What does being in sync with a musical beat have to do with #genetics? 🧬 This study conducted by #NIHHighRisk New Innovator awardees from @VUMCInsights shows surprising links between #MusicalityGenetics and other traits like breathing or walking: go.nature.com/3OvUzWo.
ALT Is rhythm in our genes? Scientists explore the complex interactions between the human genome and beat synchronization.

It’s Dr. Barbara McClintocok’s birthday
She saw what everybody saw, yet saw something altogether new
Intrigued by maize kernel colors, she found genes can jump and turn physical traits on & off
She remains the only woman with an unshared Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine

I have had to fight for other software too that is even more niche. I'm tired of the paternalistic attitude that PI's who are competent enough to bring in millions to the Univ can't choose their own software and hardware.
