New article of the lab on Notch3, not only involved in vascular or neural defects, but also in heart defects and laterality defects.

People on the left need to have a better working understanding of how coalitional politics work, I think.
Gavin has laterality to do heinous things to the homeless, to immigrants, to trans inmates - but he doesn't really have the laterality that Trump does to just go after us arbitrarily.

🥳 We got our Christmas present - our paper was accepted in PNAS!! @pnas.org 😀🎄🎅
Congrats to my student Shubham Sinha, collabs. Rieko Asai, Takashi Mikawa 😀
We showed that cellular flows initiate L-R patterning prior to laterality gene expression in amniotes! 🐣

The mental stats are Focus, Laterality, and Intuition. Focus is how well you can lock in and do your mental task - studying, working, and so on. Laterality is your creativity and mental speed. Meanwhile, Intuition is your perception and gut instincts!

Honestly I think Republican Presidents have been deliberately depriving themselves of knowledge in order to allow their underlings more laterality to do questionable things the President can denounce and disown later.
I think they've been maintaining a doctrine here at least since Reagan.
