Inbox ZERO. So if any funders are worried about their NOA's getting lost, fear not! Today would be a great time to send them!

Sometimes you review a grant and you’re like WHAT? (🧐) and sometimes you review a grant and you’re like WHAT? (🤯)

I just started playing Disco Elysium, my first video game in over a decade. Games are weird now apparently.

C. elegans. They wiggle forward. They wiggle backwards. And occasionally they...stand up and wiggle? Learn more about this hitchhiking-like behavior, nictation, in not just C. elegans, but many species of nematodes in this #BMcBiology Review link.springer.com/article/10.1... #WormSky #AcademicSky

You laugh, but this will be the GOP ticket in 2028.

New belt, who dis?!

Just here to make sure this gets the ratio it deserves. Sad to see the National Academies not standing up for science.

My lab forgot my (half) birthday. 🫠

I love Black Flag, but this is hilarious.

Sad to see another Buffalo institution closing. Luckily one thing Buffalo doesn’t lack is local coffee shops.

Can’t wait to see this same reaction at his trial as they list off the guilty verdicts.

Challenges in college basketball are absurd. The ends of games are torturously slow already.

This Iowa/Florida game is getting good, for those who might want to watch some basketball.

Hey, this store called. They are out of you.

we want to do some pilot experiments doing gene editing of a mammalian cell line using guide-plasmid transfection in cas9-expressing cells. do you have a favorite cell line that transfects easily? pls re-ski

“almost no racists or anti-semites” on a website owned by a Nazi. Great endorsement.

Me when I can’t open a jar

The latest Feigin Lab member has passed her qualifying exam and is now a PhD candidate! Congrats, Maura! (I didn’t take any pictures in the exam but here’s a fun Where’s Waldo from the recent protest!)

You guys laugh, but the NYPD has a whole division dedicated to this.

Last night I was pied in the face by two grad students (as a fundraiser). Please enjoy!

Has anyone ever planned anything involving faculty where it didn’t feel like pulling teeth? How?

NRSA levels for FY26. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Legislative mandates in effect for FY2026. The anti-harassment language is new as far as I can tell. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Jersey Mike’s is opening 5 minutes from my house! What a day!!

Sip of Science: The Ides of Pi! Local grad students playing fun science games, telling their scariest science stories, and pie-ing PIs in the face! (Fundraiser for their upcoming gala!)

I’m fairly certain I kept calm. But I made a lot of mean faces.

If I lose my temper at faculty meeting today I will donate $50 to the Trump 2028 reelection fund. Unless they deserve to be yelled at, then I ain’t donating shit.

Love (sarcastic and derogatory) university administrators who are interviewed about scientists who take money from donors like Epstein and don't mention that an excellent way to prevent scientists from taking that money is to PUBLICLY FUND SCIENCE. Like, it's right there dude!

My least favorite of our yearly food traditions! Happy St Patrick’s Day!

If anyone sees an 8 foot tall Bills fan, call the police I guess.

I just stepped down from something I didn’t enjoy. Please clap.

Fascists are blaming Jews. Again. This is anti-semitism. (Who tricked Trump into Venezuela or Cuba? “Weird” that only Iran is blamed on an outside force.)

Our grad students depended on ACA subsidies to get reasonable coverage from the New York State exchange. This plan ends in July because the subsidies were cut. Ok GOP, waiting on your plan to know how we should insure our students…

If this is how you feel, you should not be a professor. This is a dereliction of our duty to train the next generation of scientists, just like we were trained. www.science.org/content/arti...

If you consider 'hiring’ AI instead of a graduate student, you're saying the quiet part out loud: PhDs are viewed as a PI's labor force not academics studying for an advanced degree... www.science.org/content/arti...

If you’re from Long Island, you visited the moraine.

I gotta give it to my son. “I can’t eat this broccoli, there’s a bone in it” is an amazing excuse.

Acoziborole inhibits CPSF3, an RNA endonuclease required for addition of the poly-A tail to the trypanosome's mRNA molecules. Without polyadenylation, the parasite mRNAs cannot be used to synthesize its proteins. It doesn't inhibit the human version of the enzyme. www.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/A0...

TIL about the existence of a journal called “Research.” In case Science, Nature, and Cell were not broad enough for you.

Imagine having your head this far up your own ass that you don’t recognize your own hubris.

A horse with a genetically engineered horn growing out of its head is not a unicorn

Update on my last submission to the Nature family of journals.

This is such a great video. Nice reminder that not everything is awful.

Me: you need a long-sleeved shirt K2: I’m wearing one Me: you are clearly wearing two short-sleeved shirts K2: this one was in my short-sleeved drawer, but I know it’s long-sleeved Me: your arms are uncovered K2: oh… (Runs upstairs, gets changed) Me: now where are your socks?! Gonna be a good Monday

St Patty’s Day, just a bit early.

Been married almost 20 years and just realized my wife doesn’t know who Michael Flatley, Lord of the Dance is.

Did T Rex really have those dumb arms? There’s no way that’s right. Maybe scientists need to look into this again.

A number of people here seem to be road-testing the question "Just how overtly antisemitic can I get away with being on Bluesky?" right now. When you see it--especially in the name of leftism--name, shame, and block.

This is in response to massive attacks from Hezbollah, the Iran-backed terrorist organization. There had been a cease-fire, until Hezbollah sent 850 drones and missiles into Israel. (By the way, Hezbollah is committed to Israeli genocide.)

That was fun! Go Sabres!
