Non-science related thought after the holidays: one of the best gifts I've ever received? A nice ratcheting screwdriver. Truly nothing as nice as the way it smoothly clicks, and makes tasks so much more satisfying.

Think carefully before buying a Greenland shark for the holidays. They are, after all, the world’s longest-living vertebrate.

Maybe one of the most dishonest pieces I’ve read in years: laundering your company’s reputation for killing tens of thousands of people with denials through the life story of a slain employee. Maybe take some responsibility for the societal harms and people you kill. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/o...

The life of each of us began when a sperm and an egg came together. But what happens at a molecular level? Our latest work in Cell led by @vdeneke.bsky.social & Andreas Blaha reveals a conserved fertilization complex that bridges sperm and egg in vertebrates! (1/11) www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

I don't think it should be a controversial opinion that batshit crazy persons should not be in charge of the health of hundreds of millions of people, including millions of young and unborn kids, who don't have the luxury of you learning from your mistakes. Also, see Samoa and the measles vaccine.

This is a good news! Good that HHMI recognizes talent is spread out rather than in some elite universities @hhmi.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/funding/howa...

Delighted to see @hhmi.bsky.social take this important step with the investigator program. I hope that this will lead to a broader array of voices in science, and a broader, more inclusive number of institutions with the amazing resources provided by HHMI www.thetransmitter.org/funding/howa...

Great to see the tree of life being corrected, showing the proper place for zebras. After all, aren’t we all fish, at least monophyletically?

There are “talented” scientists everywhere. It’s the resource hoarding at large institutions that is the real problem.

As a proud comparative/non-model immunologist working in trout, lungfish, and zebrafish, and friends working on opossums, skinks, and sharks, reach out! We’re always looking for more folks to collaborate with, and trust me, it only gets cooler the deeper you go!

I created a simple flow chart to help my lab trainees choose the most appropriate stats test in Prism (*for single-factor comparisons only). Feel free to share with your group if you think it could be helpful first start.

Just watched the full House hearing & testimony of NIH Director Dr. Monica Bertignolli. A few takeaways: • the proposed budget, in addition to not increasing for inflation, wants to condense NIH from 27 to 15 institutes. The NIH does not think this is a good idea. 🧵1/?

Just swam over to Bluesky and decided to dip my fin in the water. I am a Postdoc in the Weinstein lab and currently on the faculty job market. I developed an injury system to study cutaneous wound healing in adult zebrafish. Check out my movie showing neutrophil recruitment after injury.
