DEI is the most popular thing in this list lmao

2 more open faculty positions (1 TT Asst., 1 TT Assoc./Full) - in Border Studies @sandiegostate.bsky.social, potentially in biology - e.g. cross-border land, resource management, binational biodiversity, transborder ecologies, built environments, sustainable ag, etc.! Links below. Please share!

It was genuinely nice to see familiar NIH program faces on a call today. Weird sentiments for weird times, I guess. 😉

Good reminder that although we have fantastic technologies to measure RNA expression, that doesn't mean it's the best indicator of function. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

In my diversity supplement-funded graduate research, I used different types of mice to find DNA regions that alter susceptibility to air pollution. One of these regions is also found in humans and likely influences how severely people with lung diseases are affected by breathing polluted air.

Messing around with an old wheelset and was reminded how much fun it was to keep track of these spacers

Fun problem! Start from Penzance at a heading of 210° and you'll hit NZ after about 20,600 km, just past the antipode.

Despite rumors to the contrary, aging marmosets express both 3-Repeat and 4-Repeat isoforms of the Tau protein. This foundational result opens new avenues to understand aging, Alzheimer's disease, and neuropathology in primate models. alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
