Absolute cinema watching that jar of Nutella escape contain behind the backs of the astronauts after packing other things away

I would not lick 👅 it

One Easter someone put a bunch of plastic eggs packed with milk bones in the dog park and all the dogs ignored them except my dog, who ate them all.

Great article—if you want to know why so many universities, even across oceans, are singing the same tune, look to the consultants selling them the same plans! I like this point that the same-ness distills down to the department and class level too. we all become fungible units.

Tapping the sign

That dude, Kendrick Lamar, and the guy who took those Vanity Fair photos of the Trump administration are the three most dangerous men in media right now.

love my “nemocytometer”

This from last night explains why the US has a failing government. Trump: “i always like to hang out with losers because it makes me feel better. “I hate guys that are very, very successful and you have to listen to their success stories. “I like people that like to listen to my success.”

"genAI can be used to create podcasts from a paper to teach st-" Let me stop you right there. Before you feed somebody's paper to a slop machine, invite that somebody to talk to your students about their paper. We're right here. We academics won't shut up about our work, man. 🧪

It’s like this guy has no moral compass! Who’d have predicted that?! (said no one 🙄)

When we were in YVR recently, we could barely keep it together when we saw these. It’s even funnier if you say “sohrry” in a Canadian accent.

hello what did i miss tell me every thing

It even goes to Dulles now!

EAT SHIT LOSERS DIE MAD

Watching the end of the Mariners’ playoff run last season sent me into a week-long angry depression so I think I’ll skip it this time. Unless they’re interested in going ~75-87 like the good old days.

If I ever had a DNA editing robot I’d probably name it Gene Hackman as a little joke.

They were brutalized and arrested and their universities did NOTHING to help them.

57 of my fellow students were arrested, academically disciplined, and barred from campus 2 weeks before finals. And then the visas of some of those students were quietly revoked. And then the DEI office was killed. And then we watched our mentors’ grants evaporate over “woke”.

Our lab has an open postdoctoral position. Work in the lab ranges from trafficking of neuronal cargoes to developing gene editing therapeutics for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. I'm looking for the right person, project is flexible. Please apply immediately. www.roylab.org

An unaccounted for part of the economy is how much young people virulently hate AI, despite how aggressively it's being forced on them. They realize it's making their friends dumber and ruining the world and they want nothing to do with it. From the Penn student paper: www.thedp.com/article/2026...

@edsbs.bsky.social do you know anything about Bottas’ badger friend? Pet? Colleague?

I don’t think you guys understand glue poor my typing is on my phone. I will apartment fat finger something and end up booking a trip to timbuktu.

“HEY BABYBYOU GET THAT BONUS YET? OKAAAYYYYY MISTER BONUS MONEY”

new and exciting way for them to burn their anonymity and cover

David Botstein was one of the giants of genetics and genomics, and my mentor, colleague and friend for more than 40 years. I’m sad that he is gone, but his larger-than-life persona comes through here. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/20/s...

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

“Hector wasn’t a ‘little bitch.’ Don’t waste ‘little bitch’ on Hector” “Oh, sure, because Paris is right there” “No! Because of George Russell!”

Perfect

Back to lab this morning after a tripto vancouver, whistler, and back home skiing with friends and uh oh why did I order all these primers again???

started up pokopia and played for like eight hours oops

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

“student success” = four-year graduation rate that’s all the Tableau-poisoned administrators want

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

me: if z is the length of a slice and a is the area of the pie, then pi(zz)=a PhD advisor: this is what you’ve been working on for three and a half years?

Instead of blowing up things in Iran, the federal government could have spent $11 billion in a week paying the entire household incomes for everyone in these counties. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

This is why I only gamble in Vegas. You should feel at least a little icky when you put 20 bucks on the a medium-shot college football team to win the natty.

going to your coworker's kid's soccer game is a level of nice that's almost clinically insane

I started Awesome Life Science Resources: a curated list of resources on work culture, career, and communication for life scientists. Built for PhD students, postdocs, and PIs. Check it out: github.com/jjfroehlich/...

I’m sorry Whistler, I wasn’t familiar with your omg-everything-is-skied-off-and-icy game

And Happy International Women's Day to the two most important people in science over the past year, @cdelawalla.bsky.social and @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social.

To avoid all the confusion of the daylight savings changeover, we should simply arrange it so the sun sets at 9pm every day and work backward from that to what time the rest of the day is

This thread is all bangers from the bullied children of 1998

Today I Will Look The Burrito Man In The Eye and other stories of manifesting success

I’m willing to contract my data wrangling services to the CBP for $50M.

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.
