Today is definitely the day to do mandatory end of year trainings while doing a mega-clean of the house.

Have you ever wondered how changing bile acid amount or composition affects the absorption of specific fatty acids? Check out our latest work!

Mouse studies highlight the therapeutic potential of existing and emerging strategies to manipulate the bile acid pool and to regulate dietary fat absorption across a spectrum of conditions—from malabsorptive disorders to cardiometabolic diseases www.cell.com/cell-metabol...

Check out our latest work, out today at Cell Metabolism! The first experiment for this project got cut short back in 2020, so it was so fun to work with Alvin Chan and Rochelle Lai to make this happen! Check out the highlights from the lab account!

I do not recommend two back to back grant deadlines and endpoint for an entire atherosclerosis study all in the same month. Fingers crossed on all levels!

There’s a lot of tough things happening right now, but can we just take a second to highlight the pure joy that comes with cool data or a good science discussion? Taking that small win home with me today.

I was hopping on here to make my own thread to this degree, but the first post on my feed was this excellent one! Have a read. It’s excellent!

We set aside 20min in class for a Q&A on funding a lab, federal funding, IDCs, and ongoing policy shifts. Was definitely not enough time. Such great and insightful questions Probably could have taken the whole class Anyway. 10/10 would recommend

Some good news: @hannahhrncir.bsky.social ‘s primary PhD paper is finally online! This study lays the groundwork for a lot of technical and conceptual things the lab is currently working on, including light sheet microscopy for imaging entire biliary trees in mouse liver: rdcu.be/d90Br 1/4

Hi friends - we’re still safe at home from the fires here in Los Angeles as of Thursday morning. I hope the rest of you are safe as well!

On January 10th our viral vector service is expanding to include a packaged on request option! You will be able to choose a plasmid, select a preferred serotype, and submit a request — all in one place. Want to learn more? Sign up below for email updates. info.addgene.org/pac...

Excited to see my mentor’s achievements highlighted!

www.nature.com/articles/s41... A collaborative project incepted by Michael Kosicki, and executed by Ananth Pallaseni (both Ph.D students at @sangerinstitute.bsky.social at the time) and Elin-Madli Peets.

Quite a few new entries on the CRISPR list incl. @nevillesanjana.bsky.social @grunewald.bsky.social @sdomcke.bsky.social @rosswilsonlab.bsky.social @leopoldparts.bsky.social @bkleinstiver.bsky.social @mgdurrant.bsky.social go.bsky.app/DEwe6ZD

Hello everyone! Let's connect! I use genome editing to study sex differences in liver lipid #metabolism, intestinal lipid handling, and cardiometabolic disease. In the nonscience world, you can find me reading, baking treats, and drinking coffee. #LiverSky #CardioSky #ScienceSky

The non-science thing I learned this year was espresso. This is now my favorite way to make coffee, but came with a huge learning curve. Latte art is difficult but makes me look forward to my latte. Espresso tonics with some citrus juice are also lovely.

Update - funded 😍

I’ve written a few small grants, but tonight is the first time I’ve finished one independently. I can actually look at it and think, “Yeah, I did that!” Even if I’m not 100% happy with it, it is progress!

I think because of science, I tend to enjoy hobbies that are very protocol-driven. I also really love espresso and espresso drinks. Here’s my first shaken espresso on my new setup - I find iced drinks more forgiving if I don’t have the grind quite right!

Hi friends! It's time to start building my network here! I'm a postdoctoral scholar at UCLA. I study lipids and atherosclerosis using AAV and genome editing in the liver. I love chatting science and sometimes share what I'm up to - I'd love to connect!
