The @EvansBrainLab hits the map with our first preprint! Can’t thank my co-authors enough for all of their help! Now let’s get it published and the real celebration starts.. big shoutout to @kate_amato, @pbtrfseattle, @UnravelCancer, and @NCICancerBio for the funding.

@BrianFeet @labonnelab Wheres the proof it was already done in China in 2015 (genuinely asking)? but this isnt about discovering CRISPR.. this is the evidence that led to the drug development that now goes into people..

@itstomd @labonnelab I don't think any of us are disagreeing with you... but cutting our indirects is hamstringing the wrong people.. and id bet its because your favorite government person (both sides.. this isn't a judgement) are making money off big pharma and they don't want that to stop

@BrianFeet @labonnelab example: the CRISPR sickle cell gene therapy pointed out above.. the discovery of the therapy: done in an academic lab, funded by NIH.. the drug would not be possible without NIH funding..

@BrianFeet @labonnelab My dissertation was actually testing new drugs for women with breast cancer and determining why the drugs we give them in treatment don't always work.. and now I test new therapies for kids with brain tumors but go off i guess

@itstomd @BrianFeet @labonnelab talk to the government about that, ha (im not even disagreeing with this or that they shouldnt be patentable) but none of that has anything to do with hamstringing academic research that has made major impacts in people's lives

@BrianFeet @labonnelab zero knowledge of the inner workings of academic research and how its translated to pharma for development? yep.. you got me

@BrianFeet @labonnelab Wrong.. thats who manufactures the drugs now, probably ran the clinical trials, and yes makes money off of them NOW that they sell them.. but none of those drugs would exist without NIH funding academic research

@BrianFeet @labonnelab None of those would have happened without NIH funding.. thats how academic labs make discoveries..

Whew... i feel this deep in my spirit
Raise your hand if you’re an assistant professor who has now had to journey through a global pandemic AND a constitutional crisis, all while trying to obtain tenure 🙋🏻♀️ I’m tired.

@PhDetcetera @CterminiPhD The actual problem of a dead family member? Tell me how writing comments under her post complaining about academia are helping.. doesn't seem like a tangible solution to me
