Friends, I am at a loss of words for how devastating it would be to lose the entire intramural #NIH program. Some of the biggest medical and scientific breakthroughs have come from scientists in the NIH Intramural program. #SaveTheNIH 🧬🧪 🖥️ 🧠 www.science.org/content/arti...

I’ll be in DC but there is not enough local meetings, we have to amplify this even more #standupforscience2025

I generated a non-exhaustive review-style table of Splice Leader sequences. Reviews exist but the sequence info itself isn't easy to find. How to make it easily accessible for the community? (I don't want to write review, I just want to be helpful)

The #PEPFAR tracker is following the real time impact of each passing day of the funding suspensions spurred by the USAID funding freeze. Although there is a waiver to allow dispersion of ART, this is not happening because clinic workers have been laid off. People are dying. pepfarimpact.vercel.app

sadly #HolocostRemembranceDay resonates differently this year. We must remember more than ever and never accept resilience

I should not advertise this because it is really poor work/life balance but working in the lab on Sunday has perks

DoxyPEP—a dose of doxycycline after sex—helped reduce bacterial STIs in San Francisco & surrounding cities, according to real-world studies. Chlamydia & syphilis notably declined, though there was less effect on gonorrhea. My latest for @pozmagazine.bsky.social www.poz.com/article/doxy...

As we prepare to jump into a new year, I received an email from my scientific godmother. I admit I have been neglecting to send her regular updates this year. My only resolution is to communicate better with people that mean in lot to me. Happy New Year everybody and see you all in 2025

I am proud to share that the work from my time at the #BNITM is finally out in #Mbio today. Go check out the manuscript if you want to read about polycistronic transcription in #Leishmania parasites: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

The magic of the scientific world is our diversity. We have 3 visiting scientists @genomescience.bsky.social from different African countries and it snows in #Baltimore today (very early in the season btw). They had their first experience with the snow, that was priceless to see #StrongerTogether

I guess it had to happen at least once. My computer crashed and I could save everything I knew wasn't on #OneDrive but apparently not all the folders in my OneDrive folder were synched so I lost 3 months of data analysis and paper writing 😭😭😭

I will never say it enough: keep the final version of everything! My summer intern contacted me to see if I have his final presentation. He wants to put it online for his college application. Except that he never sent it to me and didn't keep the file, oops 😔 #weneverknow

My first real post has to be about Leishamania. It finally made it to the news, #Leishmania is endemic in the US! www.wcvb.com/article/trop... base on www.mdpi.com/2076-2607/9/... briefly, it is mostly L. mexicana and 86/1,222 cases 2008–2017 were autochthonous
