During the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, new health information was being disseminated at unprecedented rates which included ever-changing mandates and regulations, resulting in information overload for many. Shelter in place orders are the pandemic-related information that will be discussed. As these dynamic orders were announced and enforced, mobile populations-people who live in their vans or "van dwellers"-abandoned life on the road and rushed to loved ones to abide by social distancing directives.

COVID-19 exposes the foundational role of care work, both paid and unpaid, to functioning societies and economies. Focusing on 'production' instead of the sustainable reproduction of human life devalues care work and those who perform it.

A Novel Short Isoform of Cytosolic PSD-95 Interactor (Cypin) Regulates Neuronal Development.

The guanine deaminase cypin (cytosolic PSD-95 interactor) binds to PSD-95 (postsynaptic density protein 95) and regulates dendrite branching by promoting microtubule polymerization. Here, we identify a novel short isoform of cypin, termed cypinS, which is expressed in mouse and human, but not rat, tissues. Cypin and cypinS mRNA and protein levels peak at P7 and P14 in the mouse brain, suggesting a role for these isoforms during development.
