my good friend and @gladstoneinst.bsky.social colleague celebrates 20 years at Gladstone! A privilege for me to have been there for almost the whole time, and our friendship extends far beyond this. Nice piece here: gladstone.org/news/growing...

I think I’ve figured out my ideal guitar tone for the Jazz guitar. Weeks of wonder of how I can’t dissipate. Now Autumn Leaves sounds perfect.

so many projects that have nothing to do with the targeted themes by this administration. Not that any should be canceled for capricious reasons, but how in the world did those get chopped? So much effort. I especially feel terrible for the K99 and K00 grants. A new generation cut off at the knees.

This proposal on the surface seems a reasonable compromise, but we as a private institute have nothing else to spend the indirects on, and report every cent spent to support our research enterprise. We can’t be lumped in the “slush fund” category and we don’t have other sources of income.

Terrific rallying cry of an @socdevbio.bsky.social award lecture from @mads100tist.bsky.social at #icdb2025! Our work and community are important, #DevBio matters, and it’s up to us to tell everyone why. Don’t give the enshittifiers an inch!

Essential for heart development, the protein MEF2C regulates the activity of other genes. @benoitbruneau.bsky.social (@dev-journal.bsky.social Editor) applies the latest high-resolution tech to unpick how gene networks are disrupted in time and space when MEF2C is lost. #2025ICDB #2025SDB #ICDB2025

I wish people would stop describing things that are indisputably provable as a matter of fact as "controversial." People not liking a fact doesn't mean the fact is controversial. Reality is not malleable around our beliefs and it shouldn't be. We need to stop acting like it is.

Sugar is usually thought of as a cellular fuel, but it also changes how cells differentiate. preLighter (@prelights.bsky.social) @martinestermann.bsky.social shows that metabolites, such as sugars, influence the development of sex organs—ovaries & testes. Sweet story! #2025SDB #2025SDB #ICDB2025

What is acceptable as normal has shifted so far. It is normal now to be prideful about one’s lack of empathy. It is normal now to be mean. It is normal now to hold these values and somehow call yourself religious. Don’t be normal. Be the best human being you can to fight the power. Do good.
