Yesterday, J had put a pair of underwear in one of the coffee mugs along with a pair of dirty socks. I assumed he was soaking it in some cleaning solution. He then put the water in a spray bottle and told spouse he made a "perfume" called dirty sock and underwear perfume.

(1) The best song from I Built You a Tower is Trap Door. It haunts me because of my father's death. My relationship with my father was not as awful as Mugsy's & Cappy's from #Loudermilk, but yes, my father personified functional #alcoholism. It exacerbated his #ADRD.

Vocational school or trade school is higher education. A "brainiac" can thrive in a different area of expertise, and the bottom line is trades require business acumen. "What will my girlfriend think?" I have a solution. Dump the girlfriend.

Don't abolish the #NIH. Fix it.

Our country’s Independence Day is a day for patriotism, so I want to reflect on what patriotism does and does not mean. Patriotism does not mean unquestioning support for those who currently run our country. Nor does it mean an unwillingness to acknowledge and learn from our mistakes. 🧵1/?

Interlibrary Loan is one of the best inventions. When I see Hoopla as my only option, #ILL is my savior. #booksaremylovelanguage

This week I sat under oath in front of Congress and watched Republican lawmakers use the ghost of MKUltra to attack the NIH, dismiss vaccine science, and perform for a packed room of true believers. This is what that looked like from the witness table. elizabethginexi.substack.com/p/i-went-to-...

Good luck today, @ngfriedman.bsky.social . 😉🥰😁😘

Hey, @nber.org , when will the video from the 2nd Annual Meeting for Econ of AD/ADRD with #NIA be posted?

This rebuttal from @elizabethginexi.bsky.social is lit. #NIH

Can anyone here recommend a comprehensive online record store? I love treasure hunting in our local shops and often go directly to the artists' merch, but sometimes I'm in a rush. Thanks, #musicsky, @bwjones.bsky.social , and anyone else.

Someone call the MoCo fire department because Dr. @markhisted.org delivered a sick 🔥!

Powerful piece from two former NIH staffers www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

#NIH has published the new Parent #F99/K00 #predoctoral to #postdoctoral award. The first due date is August 8, 2026. Please see the website to determine eligibility and submission dates. #sciencesky #medsky #funding

I've been reading #LGBTQIA2S books for #pride this month. I put on Chappell Roan, Jenny Lewis, Janelle Monae, and Sophie B. Hawkins. I picked up Sprinkles to dance with me. She squirmed out of my embrace, scratched my face, and wanted no part of the pink pony club. #MeowMonday #catsofbluesky

Nathan is smoking a 17 lb brisket today. He cut off the fat and rendered it. I feel like my triglycerides shot up 100 mg/dL just by existing in this household. #bbqsky #cookingsky

Sprinkles has figured out how to escape from her room. She goes through the air ducts, but we haven't been able to find the exit yet. #Caturday #catsofbluesky

A colleague is having a wonderful year. She finished her doctorate. She got married today, and they are expecting their first child. I'm so happy for her. The world looks bleak, but life goes on. Don't forget about taking breaks to observe life's other beauties.

I can't resist: a man in uniform, purring cats, a woman with received pronunciation, fountain pens on crisp stationary, neoclassic libraries, independent bookstores, garters and stockings, art deco jewelry, standard transmission, turntables, autumn, lavender in Sequim and Provence, and neutral red.

One year ago today, 300+ NIH scientists and staff risked their livelihoods by signing the Bethesda Declaration to call out government leadership for harms to science and patients... ...today, their new report documents continuing harm to science and the American public. www.27unihted.org/bd-home

Happy Pride!

🧵(1) The Schedule C and #OMB malarkey makes me so angry. I'm siding with the scientists from the #ADA meeting. Thanks, Dr. Kahn. #Huskies We're coming to our one year anniversary of the #BethesdaDeclaration. I am thinking even more about my roots. This time I'll talk about my maternal family.

Some #NIH members are here in their personal capacities. These views do not represent the views of #HHS.

🧵(1) My dear friend and colleague @csmarcum.bsky.social has given great advice for the general public on statements against the Regulation on Federal Financial Assistance. BLUF/TLDR: If you care about federal financial aid, tell your member of Congress to object to the new rule by the White House.

We got a new sister today. Her name is Sprinkles. #catsofbluesky #purrsday

The IMPACT Collaboratory has started new fellowships. I encourage #HPSS #statsky #geronsky colleagues in ePCT research to apply. There are good resources to help you. @pctcollaboratory.bsky.social hosts fantastic webinars. I encourage anyone with an interest to submit! Join the town hall with Q&A.

Persepolis is one of my favorite Graphic Novels. Rest in power, Mme Satrapi.

🧵(1) Here's my statement: I'm a private citizen who cares about federally funded research. Political appointee approval of grants is nonsense. Medical research is because medical conditions do not discriminate. One's political affiliation does not determine whether a person develops cancer or

This morning, @cgster.bsky.social and I spoke of the need of DEI in medical training. It's not some ticking the box exercise. It's finding the best talent where you often overlook, and I care about this U54 because I'm scared we're not supporting enough early stage investigators at #NIH. #geronsky

So... I got more information about this plan. The most important points follow on the next posts. 1/3

Great piece by some peeps to know, Drs. @michaeldgreen.phd and @elizabethginexi.bsky.social. Early stage investigators are the key to our future. Make America Indispensable Again.

Gift link provided. This is laughable and does not align with whistleblower protection laws.

I gathered with friends and colleagues today at a local park. We wanted to celebrate our anniversary of signing the #BethesdaDeclaration. I forgot my phone, and I wanted to take photographs of us. I realized that the conversations we had were perfect just in that moment.

To the fallen, you are never forgotten.

Yeah, I think my NIH phone won't come home anymore.

Good story from Stephanie Lee at the Chronicle of Higher Education on dealing with funding uncertainty with very highly rated grant proposals. www.chronicle.com/article/they... 1/2

Gift link. Yesterday Bobby the lesser fired two leaders of the #USPSTF. Firing independent scientists and replacing them with political appointees does not serve the nation's health. #hspr #hpsr #medsky #oublichealthsky #hpss #defendresearch #defenddata #sciencesky

Agree with @aaas.org on this one. Jim O’Neill is not qualified to run the NSF. Especially after they disbanded the advisory board. Tho not sure a public hearing is enough given the past approvals that have gone through public hearings. We need a public outcry. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/s...

Hit 'em where it hurts. Maybe the SEC will lose enough money that ESPN tells them to fuck off.
