ASH is coming! Excited to present alongside Vikram Paralkar, Sandra Pinho, Peter Van Galen, and Alison Yeh at the stem cell session of the myeloid workshop on Friday. @ericpietras.bsky.social will be moderating— don’t miss it!

@bff.fm is 12 years old this week! I've had the pleasure to be a DJ at this awesome radio station for over 11 of those. Like any community media, BFF.fm is a nonprofit and relies on its listeners and fans for support. Head on over to BFF.fm/12years and celebrate with us!

New synthesizer fun Sam Prekop. New release of (very old) Album Leaf demo tapes. A preview of some future sounds from Oren Ambarchi. This was a fun show. Tune on in. bff.fm/broadcasts/4...

Heading to Orlando this December for ASH 2025? Have cool unpublished science about myeloid/hematopoietic stem cell biology you'd like to present at this year's Myeloid Workshop? Then get in touch - send me an email or message on this platform! Seriously. Do it.

The Myeloid Workshop is back in ASH! Please contact the organizers if you have an exciting story that will not be out by December they are: Zuzana Tothova , @ernstlaboratory.bsky.social @steidluli.bsky.social @ericpietras.bsky.social @kathrinbernt.bsky.social @gritsmanlab.bsky.social

Absolutely looking forward to this record - Daniel Herskedal is a true innovator in jazz - editionrecords.com/releases/dan...

The last time I got to play new music from Tortoise on @bff.fm was back in 2016 - until this week! Great new single out that leads off this week's edition of Sounds In The Dark. bff.fm/broadcasts/4...

Big thanks to @cuanschutz.bsky.social for a profile of our lab's trained immunity work in autoimmune disease. March is #AutoimmunityAwarenessMonth and a good time to consider the importance of NIH @altnih4science.bsky.social and the agencies supporting such work. news.cuanschutz.edu/news-stories...

Looking for some good up-to-date information on all the back and forth on science at the federal level? @jeremymberg.bsky.social is a helpful source. Great profile from Pitt on his efforts. www.utimes.pitt.edu/news/jeremy-...

Sometimes it's good to turn down the noise. This week's edition of Sounds In The Dark is streaming on demand at @bff.fm bff.fm/broadcasts/4.... Ambient and interesting music to quiet the mind.

Science is for everyone. It's not a political football. If you're one of my colleagues, a radio show listener at @bff.fm, or just happening by, please be sure to contact your local representative and let them know. www.aacr.org/professional...

Things are gnarly in US politics, but there's one sort of voting where we're all on the same side -- Be sure to vote for the new slate of @isehsociety.bsky.social officers. I'm honored to have been nominated as a candidate for Board of Directors. Vote here: www.iseh.org/page/2025Ele...

This is just a phenomenal new record from Jefre Cantu-Ledesma - really shakes up some of his well-worn tropes toward drone-inflected music by adding a talented cast of musical collaborators. Utterly immersive. Worth getting on vinyl. jefrecantu-ledesma.bandcamp.com/album/gift-s...

Since the new year, I've protected some time to get back in the lab and do science. With all the noise and confusion out there it's a wonderful experience to get focused and make some impactful discoveries again. A great reminder of why we do this.

Congratulations to Lev Silberstein and collaborators! www.nature.com/articles/s43...

This week's bad science joke (metabolism edition) What did the healthy mitochondrion say to the dysfunctional mitochondrion? "Succinate to be you!!"

@paralkarlab.bsky.social here goes one: Student: "I don't know where my HSPCs are in this flow plot!" Wise Postdoc: "c-Kit, and you shall find"

@paralkarlab.bsky.social time for the bad science joke battle?

Crazy day to be a scientist right? But hey - there's a new Mogwai record coming out.
