We are failing our children. Guns are now the leading cause of death for children in the U.S. Michelle and I mourn with the students and families of the Covenant School today.

Shooting survivor makes plea in Nashville

A woman who says she survived the July 4th shooting in Highland Park, Illinois gave an emotional plea after children and staff members were killed in a shooting at an elementary school in Nashville.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
According to the CDC, accidents are the leading cause of death for children and adolescents. The claim that guns are the leading cause of death for children would only be true if children under 1 are excluded and 18 and 19 year olds are counted as children. cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/c… cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/a… snopes.com/news/2023/03/2… statesman.com/story/news/pol…

Today was a special day. I defended my PhD. I’ve never felt more love and support in my entire life. @EPICClemson is a special place and I’m beyond lucky to have been a small part. I’ll never be able to fully say thank you.

Jillian Milanes, a graduate research assistant in @EPICClemson, is working working with professor James Morris on research regarding a rare brain eating amoeba. Her research may help develop new therapeutics to help treat those affected by it. bit.ly/41l0mFc
Rare but almost always deadly brain-eating amoeba requires more study

Rare but almost always deadly brain-eating amoeba requires more study

Collaborations increase the impact of Clemson research, including future treatments for the fatal brain condition caused by Naegleria fowleri.

- @TheTrentCrimm, Independent - If you watch one episode per day, starting today, you’ll finish season 2 of #TedLasso the day before season 3’s first episode. Some might say this smells like potential.

The Rice lab’s first independent publication in collaboration with #Alcon! Super excited to see where this study leads.

Who would have known that the lens material was also a culprit in patients becoming infected with Acanthamoeba Keratitis. Pretty awesome study, thanks for including me! Peep the supplemental video for Acanthamoeba crawling over contact lenses, yes, it's pretty scary!

had a fantastic time presenting my PhD research yesterday at #ascb2022! So many great discussions about the role a putative peroxin and methyltransferase may be having in T. brucei. I even had a pigeon stop by for a quick chat.
