"The living cell, once thought to be a precise molecular factory, is turning out to be more like an improvising jazz ensemble. The old dogma—one gene, one protein, one function—has collapsed.

Molecular biologist Ewa Grzybowska argues that recent discoveries show that proteins can switch folds, shift shapes, or even remain gloriously unstructured, improvising their roles as they go. Genes are not blueprints but texts, open to continuous interpretation by cells.

Life, it turns out, is not built like a machine but is instead fluid, improvisational, and brimming with creative possibility."

By June 1, 1921, the Tulsa Race Massacre had left behind the devastation of a deliberate assault on Black life, Black excellence, and Black progress.

Too often in this nation, Black advancement has been met with backlash, violence, erasure, and policy designed to pull back what had been gained. We saw it after Reconstruction, when Black civic participation was answered with terror, disenfranchisement, and the rise of Jim Crow. We saw it in places like Colfax, Wilmington, Elaine, and Tulsa. And 105 years later, we still see echoes of that pattern when voting rights are weakened, DEI is dismantled, truth is resisted, and efforts to widen opportunity are attacked.

Remembering June 1, 1921 also means telling the truth about what comes after progress in America. It means staying vigilant, organized, and unwilling to let backlash have the final word.

I didn't know Brian. I knew his work and his name, as many of my colleagues speak so highly of him. We're saddened to hear of his passing.

This is the story of how a small group of loud-mouthed, over-educated, under-employed activists and a massive group of ordinary people with average incomes revolutionized healthcare systems by using large empty rooms, old recliner chairs, and two-cent needles.
