Got to check out the new part of the Schuylkill trail tonight on my run. I’m obsessed with the suspension bridge! Philly is seriously the best city

These private grant orgs really said, “We hear that you need more support right now with the funding crisis. We’re actually going to suspend our fellowships until things settle down.” So disappointed in the groups that were supposed to be leaders in the future of science. #postdoc #hhmi

Finding out HHMI is canceling the Hanna H. Gray Fellows competition is heartbreaking. Especially since if they decide to hold it next year, I’ll no longer be eligible

All I'm saying is, the "Me me me me me more leftist than you" people on this app DIDNT EVEN VOTE. Don't listen to any of those dumb motherfuckers, they helped pave the road to hell, and they're still doing it.

Double rainbow over Philly, this city is magical ✨

📣 Across the U.S., cuts to federal funding for health research are projected to cause losses of $16B and 68,500 jobs. How will YOUR area be impacted? Excited to share SCIMaP, a website that our team has created to communicate the impact of funding cuts. #PsychSciSky #MedicalSky scienceimpacts.org

This essay does a great job explaining why funding basic science is so important and benefits everyone. Please read and encourage your elected officials to continue funding scientific research! neighborhoodscientist.org/posts/2025/w...

So excited to announce my second publication from my postdoc, “Immune history shapes human antibody responses to H5N1 influenza viruses”, that was published today in Nature Medicine! (Link in next tweet). Truly a group effort between our lab and our collaborators.

Stand up, fight back! #standupforscience

Posting this from months ago because we DO have homegrown experience with autocratic regimes in this country. In nearly half this country during the first 6 decades of the 20th century Black people lived under systems of cruelty, voter suppression, hate, state violence & corruption. Ask them!

Is there an award for the most attractive NFL team? Because the @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social would clearly win. Completely unrelated, but if there any Eagles players who are single are interested in dating a Philly scientist, I’m available 🤗

Nazis: "that's a nazi salute" Historians: "that's a nazi salute" Average person: "that's a nazi salute" The Media: "Elon Musk makes odd gesture throwing his heart to the crowd."

Seen in the supermarket today. Even if the current avian flu outbreak doesn’t cause widespread human infections, it’s still a big issue that we need to continue to monitor.

Everyone wish happy birthday to my best friend Max! 14 never looked so good.

Out-of-pocket health expenditure of 10% or more of their household budget is placing 1 in 8 people worldwide at risk of poverty.​ Governments must adequately invest in #HealthForAll and protect people – particularly the most vulnerable among us – from high health spending. ​ bit.ly/3OGl5hA

I wish more people were literate enough to truly be able to read & understand this graph, and to be upset by it. Because it's upsetting! We pay SO MUCH MORE for healthcare, and have worse outcomes & lower life-expectancy. The data is clear: We are coming in last in the race for health & well-being.

If you're mad at the health insurance industry — and you should be! — then please remember that every U.S. state has a department of insurance that regulates these insurers. The DoI can come down on them like a ton of bricks for fraudulent behavior. You can file complaints, talk to state reps, etc.

Serological evidence for SARS-CoV-2-like viruses in Sunda pangolins, likely reflecting the wildlife trade. Again exposes the idiocy of the "pangolin papers" accusations. I and others have even been accused of faking the pangolin data. bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

I’ll say it again. Vaccines are LIFESAVING MIRACLES.

One of my favorite things about vaccines is that they make me harder to kill

There's something of a curious irony here insofar as Black/Jewish solidarity was a cornerstone of the Civil Right Movement, particularly where legal strategy is concerned. Of note, Jewish Philosopher Abraham Joshua Heschel marched with John Lewis and Martin Luther King, Jr. at Selma.

Just watched the full House hearing & testimony of NIH Director Dr. Monica Bertignolli. A few takeaways: • the proposed budget, in addition to not increasing for inflation, wants to condense NIH from 27 to 15 institutes. The NIH does not think this is a good idea. 🧵1/?

When you are a protein-loving lab, you only do the Best Westerns. How do I turn this into a sponsorship?

The bad news: Many people don’t get enough iron in their diet. The good news: One ounce of dark chocolate has 3.37 mg of iron Ladies, that’s 5.5 ounces a day that you clearly need. Sorry guys, you’ll get your daily allotment with 2.5.
