Human geneticist turned data scientist in Seattle. Supporting clinicians at a large hospital. Human first. Kindness, standing up for people, sailing, climbing mountains, making a ruckus when necessary. Enduring optimist often tested to the limit.

- Reposted by Nancy Parmalee👀Now that ICE/DHS are planning to buy ‘mega’ warehouse detention centers across the US to house human beings you might want to listen to this gentleman’s history lesson that he delivered at a city council meeting in AZ. Congress needs to have hearings on this like yesterday.

- Reposted by Nancy ParmaleeHi team, I have a help request - I'm sure I've seen folks on here who have either put together or seen a talk on using social media for academic / scientific work. Would you be willing to share those resources or references with me so that I can do something similar for my mentees?
- This is disgusting.
- “I want the NIH to be a central driver of the MAHA agenda,” Bhattacharya said. “Essentially, it's kind of the research arm of MAHA.” NIH is not an ideological toy or 'arm'. We must insist on its scientific independence, especially if its Director will not. 🚨 www.dukechronicle.com/article/duke...

- Reposted by Nancy ParmaleeBest video evidence yet. If anybody did that in the army, they would be court-martialed. The United States is a fascist dictatorship. Alex Jeffrey Pretti was executed. Murdered by Nazi goons at the hands of Trump, Noem, Bovino, Bondi, Patel, Hegseth, Homan, Bove, Vance, Mike Johnson, and MAGA.
