Congratulations to Maggie @maggiewitham.bsky.social and Jamaurie -2nd year PhD students in my lab that passed comps! I am so proud of you and glad you’re in my lab!

That’s it. I’m not paying a single penny to the federal government. Changing my withholdings tomorrow. This place is nutso

Probably bc the pocket books are controlled by three white dudes.

They don’t want us to use our brains. They want easy Control. They want easy compliance. Because then, exploitation has no limitations. Yup.

And it’s not just him. It’s all of us studying all the things right now.

I think the best thing about attending undergrad graduation is seeing the students I know that I’ve helped be successful to make to make this world a better place for all life and beings. There is nothing better than that feeling. I am so proud of them!

If you’re night fighting the empire what ARE you doing?

Today was Tufts Biology Graduation and my undergrad @shoshdaly.bsky.social graduated! I’m so proud of you! She’ll be a tech in my lab while she applies to MD PhD programs!

Dobrah aka Dobbikins aka Dobicita is going to be 11 in July and I just cannot!

Let’s look at it another way: From 1986-2017, 87.7% of NIGMS MERIT awards went to men. From 2000-2017, 84.9% of NIGMS MERIT awards went to men. From 2007-2017, 80% of NIGMS MERIT awards went to men. These statistics overlap with a period when men were submitting ~2/3 of NIHgrants

Having way too much fun !

I dumped all my Nvidia I bought in grad school bc I want nothing to do with the use of their tech in the future. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

I’ll be speaking there at the end of the month! www.moadsf.org/event/engage...

We climbed beehive today in Acadia! Amazing!

If a system isn’t working for you, then whom is it working for?

I think we should have our house and senate write a new law that the NIH is only headed and run at all levels by academic scientists @warren.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social

lol this is hilarious from a scientific standpoint 😂😂🤦‍♀️

Out in @natmethods.nature.com: More dyes. They work. Quite well. And blink. Pick the one that fits your target, your technique, and your labeling density. With too many collaborators and institutes to list, but anchored at @hhmijanelia.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

One of my favorites of all time : open.spotify.com/track/3vI4Ij... Like a pinch on the neck of Mr Spock!

Good morning, beloved. Nothing gets done until somebody does it. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

Today was fun! Three birthday celebrations and an impromptu departmental seminar with my bff @fatiaysh.bsky.social !

I just deleted my Gmail and it feels so good!

Science that saves lives: $50 billion Yeah. Make that make sense.

You guys see what happened with Claude? That’s why I love hackers :)

This is pure evil

Planetary k indexes up again 🤦‍♀️

It’s whatever narrative they want to spin to control Theatrics

There is literally no evidence that public opinion is the driving force in American politics.

yall remember the “this is your brain on drugs” commercials? we need a version of that campaign for AI usage

The systems sucks. All of them. They need to be dismantled. They’re not helping US. We need to help us!

How many times do I have to say, THEY DONT CARE ABOUT US. WHY are we playing by rules they do not follow themselves. We need to stop playing by their rules and make up our own new rules. WAKE UP

Trust no one. Question everything.

Whatever I left watching the Oscar’s after the witch won to watch Wonder Man and I have zero regrets.

"Talent is universal, access must be designed, and excellence must be intentional!" Inspiration talk by Donita Brady at #ASBMB2026. Donita has worked tirelessly to bring access to Penn and beyond. Congrats on winning the Ruth Kirschtein Award!

I’m watching predator badlands for the third time this week. Love the survival, combat, tech, synths, family and love shown in this movie! youtu.be/43R9l7EkJwE

The data drops as Sen. Bernie Sanders calls for a moratorium on datacenter construction. 'We need to take a deep breath. We need to make sure that AI and robotics work for all of us, not just a handful of billionaires.'

The purpose of play Is to told up the mirror to Nature. Never forget that. That’s our job. The world around us. And ourselves within it. The real work…. is living

My weekly NIH update... The fiscal year 2026 curve still lies below the other curves but appears to be increasing at close to the normal pace. 1/4

A heads down approach will not save science. We need to speak up, live our values, and demand integrity. www.statnews.com/2026/03/12/n...

And they tell you they don’t have money for science, or kids, or healthcare, or childcare or food assistance or ALL THE THINGS!

The sea cries

If you’re wondering why I’m ranting today about what scientific freedom is and is not, here is why. Jay Bhattacharya is a fool who cannot stand that he was—and continues to be—called out by legitimate scientists for his bullshit.

Mn is still bad. Mainstream media lies. If you can sponsor a families rent in MN please help. It’s is very bad there. I just spoke with someone in Mn and they are ALL still very scared. Here is a generic Mn aid fund www.standwithminnesota.com

If the Senate and House can’t regulate the President then why are we paying them 🤷‍♀️. They have no power. This is theatrics. This is staged theatre. I’m over it. @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov

Congress approved budget increases to the #NIH. But we are not out of the woods. NIH has delayed posting announcements for funding opportunities for so long that academic research programs may not have their existing funding renewed. Many programs are already in limbo. 🧪 bit.ly/4rNEa3D
