This is very sad and wasteful. A lot of the value comes from longitudinal data. Stopping early wastes all of the startup costs. NIH cancels its first and largest study centered on women | Science | AAAS www.science.org/content/arti...

Wonderful essay by @francesarnold.bsky.social! A few points of wisdom resonating with me: finding that exploration/exploitation balance, navigating chemistry/engineering tension in differing motivations and values, importance of taking time to enjoy life with kids, importance of high expectations.

My representative in Congress is holding a conference call now- my cellphone rang and I was given the option to stay on the line to join. She's taking questions from constituents live. It's remarkable direct outreach and people are giving voice to problems the chaos in government has created.

Cuts to the NIH are a strategy to strangle research universities not “reduce waste”

Another engaging #AMR IRG January workshop is in the books. The group voted on what talks they wanted to hear, and we had a fun dinner at Umami10, celebrating another year working on diagnostics, therapies, and deeper understanding to allow both. #Singapore - #MIT Alliance, #CREATE Campus

We have an opening for a postdoctoral researcher with protein engineering skills in #AMR IRG at the CREATE campus in #Singapore, as part of the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology. Here's the link to apply: portal.smart.mit.edu/careers/care... Fun group, interesting project!

Banishing jetlag with a lunchtime walk in Clementi Woods Park #Singapore Weather is cool after all the rain!

Good morning #Singapore! Excited for a week of working on diagnostics and new ventures in #AMR Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology and for our year end company party #Thrixen

Back by popular demand, I present PPI Prediction Challenge #2. My claim: I AM SKEPTICAL COMPUTATIONAL APPROACHES CAN PREDICT WHETHER TWO PROTEINS INTERACT. Someone prove me wrong (take two). docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... 1/n

"polyclonal antibody ... that recognizes hyperoxidized PRDX3 ... Owing to the limited supply, this antibody has been unavailable since publication of that study" Peroxiredoxins, super important and rudimentary tools for analysis! www.cell.com/molecular-ce...

Exciting things to come from this new lab! Prof. Kim does elegant work analyzing reaction mechanisms and transport phenomena and students will greatly benefit from learning from him! His latest paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... Congrats to DGIST on an excellent hiring decision.

I always wonder if the common biomarkers in diagnostic tests are the best (including most abundant/technically easiest) or if some are common because there was some existing data and test developers all jumped on board. Glad this dataset exists! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

In awe of the many lab members I've coauthored with who make it look easy when it isn't, and as a journal editor am always careful not to reject solid results on the basis of language (can be revised). Much respect to those researchers who have this extra skill.
