Cry more, whiny asses... Taylor Swift has donated $1 million dollars to the AHA. From the American Heart Association: 🫶 Thank you, Taylor Swift, for your generous gift! We remain "Fearless" in our relentless commitment to prevent heart disease and stroke. Every donation we receive is an honor.

my festive spirit amidst our grimly stupid reality (2025)

Pancreatic cancer is still one of the deadliest cancers. However, there are promising strategies currently under investigation that have been delayed or harmed because of the Trump administration and Elon Musk's DOGE. CDMRP cuts left no money for many forms of cancer research including pancreatic.

Have you seen our latest Science in Seconds video? Seth Shipman and his team recently identified seven new retrons from environmental bacteria by sampling soil and water in nature

such sad new. Any impending death is tragic. This one hits home. I wish his family courage.

This is just a note to say that I have eaten the falcon in a widening gyre and that you were probably saving for anarchy Forgive me it was delicious so rough and full of passionate intensity

Exciting new paper out! @allanaschooley.bsky.social and Sergey Venev led this project that let to the discovery of two chromosome folding programs: one inherited via mitotic chromosomes and one mitotic inherited through the cytoplasm! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Move deliberately and fix things

Tadaa!

I really think that people not knowing how to learn things and then think about them is a huge problem.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Pretty sure I just saw @rbreich.bsky.social walk into my local breakfast place. Don’t want to bug him on a Sunday morning, but cool!

Heated Rivalry is a Crave production, from Canada. HBO is just a distributor. I really wish people would stop attributing anything in the production of this show to HBO.

again a ludicrous article from Megan McCardle on employment discrimination of "younger White men who hadn’t had time to gain the skills and experience that might have compensated for their melanin deficiency" Let alone that 50% of the population are female... www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

watching Palm Royale, which is so much glamorous fun, with such a cast. But in the end of episode 5, Carol Burnett eclipses all the previous episodes, and much of quality tv comedy, in 30 seconds

AI has its uses, but in the end it’s not silicon but protein and lipids that do the best and final analysis

This is the news we should be focused on “was seen chasing a woman around the village and trying to eat oranges from a Christmas wreath”“The goat also attempted to munch on safety equipment from the back of the officer’s car. “Apparently it’s not very nice,” one of the officers can be heard saying”

It's your birthday, Duane.

Happy 1st of your kids being at home all the time for 16 days straight - day for those who celebrate!

no idea if this will be a good movie or not, I’m just ecstatic to see a poster like this for an upcoming movie — peak of the artform, IMO

ending (almost) the academic year by accepting a ms for publication in @dev-journal.bsky.social (I'm an editor). A nice stocking stuffer for these folks...

We did a deep dive into aortic stenosis genetics, and took first steps to understand the genetics behind normal human variation in flow across the aortic valve.

Scorpion peppers. Challenge not really accepted.

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

I love academia, half your coworkers left yesterday evening and won't be back until Jan 6, the other half will frantically try to contact you at 8am on New Year's Day

Preprint now, submit to journal in January

We’re excited to share our new Nature Genetics paper examining the genetic architecture of aortic valve function and aortic stenosis. We used deep learning of cardiac MRI and MTAG to study disease biology long before clinical diagnosis. nature.com/articles/s41... 1/10

Olé! Miss! >>> Ole Miss

I so relate to frog and toad, but this one takes the cake

Accepted ms on modeling human atrial disease posted @dev-journal.bsky.social just now. Congratulations to @irfankathiriya.bsky.social @jsauce7.bsky.social and team! @gladstoneinst.bsky.social @ucsfanesthesia.bsky.social journals.biologists.com/dev/article-...

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL OF YOU!🎄✨

ERA Commons giving me 404s. Any known reason?

Wow this is a seriously serious supplementary figure from @cellpress.bsky.social today. Panels A through UU. I get that Cell likes to minimize the number of supplementary figures. But is this really what is happening here? www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

A major output of the 4D Nucleome project appeared today. This is the joint effort of many scientists working together and (publicly) sharing data and results for several years. We hope this is of interest to many genome biologists! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

"do better the next time" is the new NSF grant review feedback www.science.org/content/arti...

“But Toad,” said Frog, “I AM happy. I am very happy. This morning when I woke up, I felt good because the sun was shining. I felt good because I was a frog. And I felt good because I have you for a friend. I wanted to be alone. I wanted to think about how fine everything is.”

today has really gone up to 11. RIP Rob Reiner.

Let me understand you correctly, governments can care that people are being murdered?

This is Rose. She's paralyzed in both her back legs from being hit by a car as a stray. But when she sees her wheelchair harness come out, she knows it's time to walk and roll. 14/10 (IG: twopawrose)

Fallout season 2 is streaming one day early

Happy birthday on what would have been her 54th.

With this piece of bread on the ground in Ottawa, Canada and the one below in Perth, Australia, @drstip.bsky.social and I have successfully created an Earth sandwich. The hot dog vs sandwich debate is concluded. If the Earth is sandwiched, everything is a sandwich. HAPPY EARTH SANDWICH DAY!

Day one

why in the world did the name/word "Hoobastank" just enter my brain?

They used to "laugh and call him names." Now they're all dead

May he be graced with peace and may the memories of all who died in such a cruel way be a blessing.

truly amazing paper led by current postdoc Lisa Iwamoto-Stohl. "To our knowledge, this represents the first systematic evidence of proteomic asymmetry between sister blastomeres in the 2-cell mouse embryo." pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41344326/
