I'm working on a joke about Poseidon. It's going swimmingly.

I have a fantastic joke about Cassandra but no one ever listens to me.

I once workshopped a joke about Hephaestus but could never hammer out the timing.

Happy Light Jacket Day to all who celebrate

“I am not a cook.”

"Please go network on linkedin, I'm here to get weird with my imaginary friends" is a pretty good Bluesky ethos.

The Midwest in general but Minnesota in particular went really hard on “let’s make a giant fiberglass animal for our town” and I think more towns could do with that energy.

Seasons greetings from Worf

Picard: Computer, tea, hot. Computer: You know Ensign Clarkson in Engineering? Well, rumor is she might be breaking up with Ensign Zortoff because, GET THIS, she might still be in love with her ex!! Picard: *pulling up chair* Tell. Me. Everything.

I would also encourage you to do this with very effective SROs. They can make or break a study section with some of their choices and when you interact with a great one, they should know

i’m definitely the best shopper in this dunning-kroger

My favorite part of any home project involving contractors is the 10-?? mins they spend in the truck once they pull up to your house.

Most of my AI bluesky roast results weren’t very good, but would consider using this tag for my bio.

Mild take: replying to a message in Outlook with a 'reaction' (thumbs up/heart/etc.) is passive aggressive.

it is time

I see your turkey and raise you a brie and apricot ice cream turkey.

Capricorn: A coworker will refer to you as “an exhausted blurry shape.” Whether you take that as a compliment or insult is up to you.

Make sure to keep your TV rights for the inevitable “Skeets my dad sends” streaming reboot.

Following a suggestion from @benecal.bsky.social I will refer to these threads as "skeetorials" and will use this gif logo. Today's skeetorial is about the NIH Director's New Innovator Award with three different heroes (all in government). 1/n

I want to draw attention to a special issue that Lila Davachi and I put together to memorialize our friend and colleague Sarah DuBrow. It’s full of papers inspired by her work and her being from a group of collaborators, friends, and fans! Thanks @bradpostle.bsky.social for helping make this happen.

Oh. Wow.

machine learning is my passion

It was the Glutamate of times, It was the GABA of times

A thread on NIH Reorganization and the Scientific Management Review Board (SMRB) Disclosure: I was involved with the SMRB since its inception and have very strong feelings about how it was used, misused, and abandoned. My passion on these issues will undoubtably show through. 1/n

🧪🦑 Since we’re apparently talking about objectivity in science again: -scientists are people. When we pretend we have no personal stake in our science or how it’s used, non-scientists have no trouble identifying that as a lie. 1/4

Instead of saying “look! The GOP has embraced family policy!” I need reporters to ask for details. What exactly do they mean when they talk about paid leave, child care, flexible schedules? How many more people will have access? Who just means women staying at home and doing all the care work?

Way more people here! Anything you want to know about NIH peer review? Ever wondered why you can’t get your grant scores at meeting end? The SRO has to check them against in-discussion notes! Every meeting there are typos that take a day or two to fix. Trust me, you want those scores to be right!

There is the Pre-coffee which allows one to get the actual desired coffee. Sometimes happens in a hotel room. It is not ideal state. There is *The Coffee* aka the main event. Then there is the emotional support coffee I carry around for the remainder of the day. Each one plays a vital role.

bro I just wanted a kruller

Nice explainer on why standard time is better for us and our bodies than daylight savings time, even though it is a bummer when it starts to get dark at 4pm. wapo.st/3Ann7ji Fun fact: Environmental cues that help guide our circadian rhythms are called zeitgebers, literally “time givers”.

We are once again offering "candy and/or a potato" this Halloween, and I'm VERY pleased to report that one mom just asked her kid, "Is this the potato house you were looking for?!"

I helped create a research opportunity to look at the role of bilingualism on aging and the brain and whether learning a second language is actually protective or not against Alzheimer’s Disease and now we have 7 grants trying to answer those questions! reporter.nih.gov/search/trQAX...

My brother lives in an area with municipal broadband as an option and every time I visit I’m reminded of what could be if we just treated internet like water or power.
