Illuminating thread and accompanying article/interview

a little pick me up lol for the academics in the room

Given all that is going on consider this quote from Bertram Russell's 1930 book The conquest of Happiness: “The man who can be interested in the structure of atoms or the way in which a beetle navigates, is likely to get a joy in life which no amount of success in the pursuit of power can give. ”

Ever wonder how many lives have been saved by NIH-funded research - including your own? Enter any medical condition and instantly see how your tax dollars transformed science into survival. www.ourhealthroi.com

i often see things that make me say "this is the most Boston thing I have ever seen in my life" but i think this one might have swept them all

Science isn't a belief. It's the GPS in the fog, the seatbelt on the rollercoaster, the friend who tells you your fly is down. Undermining it isn’t edgy—it’s like replacing your smoke alarm with a lava lamp. 🧪🔬🔥 We need brains, not vibes. #SaveScience

Published an op-ed for @cnn.com: “Nobel laureate: I owe America my success. Today, its scientific future is in danger.” A personal reflection on what’s at stake as science funding gets slashed. I’d be grateful if you could amplify both in and beyond the science world. www.cnn.com/2025/04/09/h...

Inside me there are two wolves. One of them has a 15 genome edits the other 20 genome edits. Neither of them is a dire wolf.

Definitely a "everything is chemicals" moment here

Beautiful illustration and explanation of genetic and environmental influences on social outcomes!

Non-genomics people: haha, evolution is funny! Genomics people: *staring moodily at six 70%-similar genes* It do be like that.

Bucket list item achieved - thanks to a great team of family and friends (and Claire Saffitz’s video tutorial), I can now say I’ve made a croquembouche!

This @freep.com story by @kristenshamus.bsky.social with photos by Mandi Wright is amazing - and shows the power of decades of NIH-funded research at the University of Michigan & beyond, through the tale of a single #crc patient: www.freep.com/story/news/h...

I adore my Mach-E. I’m also proud to support Ford, who spent close to a billion dollars to buy and restore the derelict Michigan Central Station, now a crown jewel of Detroit. 💙

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS or other (non-LCH) dendritic or histiocytic sarcomas cases.

This part?? This is why sometimes research doesn’t make immediate sense to people looking at a list of projects but can still lead to important discoveries

"Fast Left As Soon As Light Turns Green"

I’m thinking about that Mr. Roger’s quote “look for the helpers” and the way people miss a key element in it. He was talking to preschoolers. It is a perfect message to preschoolers. But that is not the message for us, the grown ups. (Con’t)

Detroit gets a bad rap, but its cultural institutions, like the Detroit Institute of the Arts, are world-class. Take in a massive mural by Diego Rivera, through the door to find Cézanne, Degas, van Gogh, Monet & Renoir, then linger in the Great Hall. Glad this gem survived the city's hard times.

People sometimes make fun of science that sounds stupid and random. Meanwhile, a study of lizard saliva turned into a peptide medication, which was turned into a diabetes medication, which was turned into a GLP1 weight loss drug, that just became the first therapy every approved for … sleep apnea

Applies equally well to biomarkers!

I recently resurrected my website and added a space for me to dump all my harebrained ideas out into the void in case someone else with more free time stumbles upon them and wants a free harebrained idea. Anyway, here's one. magaro.net/cressida/por...

Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find. So I built it: blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack... The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database. Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.
