The Early Career Researcher day is in full swing today at #USHUPO - we are discussing “Managing Uncomfortable Conversations & Relationships in the Workplace”.

Nature is amazing, over the weekend I was able to spend time admiring this beautiful place. To me this is the type of cathedral Gaudí was inspired to mimic in his works.

Great starter packs for folks in the #AgingResearch world

Sharing here a new commentary in Science Policy Forum that provides new analysis on risks related to the potential future creation of mirror bacteria — synthetic organisms in which all molecules have reversed chirality (i.e. are ‘mirrored’). 1/x www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

With today's report outlining risks on mirror life www.science.org/doi/full/10.... many have asked: Could mirror life survive in the wild? Yes. While mirror life in the wild could have some significant disadvantages (like finding food it can digest), they do not appear to be insurmountable: 🧵

For anyone interested in fine-tuning or aligning LLMs, I’m running this free and open course called smol course. It’s not a big deal, it’s just smol. 🧵>>

On The Climate Brink: Stop emissions, stop warming: A climate reality check This is a crucial point because it determines how much warming is already "locked in" and effectively unavoidable. The answer is very little warming is locked in. Also, this is our 100th post! www.theclimatebrink....

📢 Preprint! How does the environment of a father before conception influence offspring? Even more, how do paternal genetics & ages interact with exposures to affect F1 outcome? We tested this systematically, with intriguing findings & some cautionary tales🧵... www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The unofficial FeMS starter pack (until they join us on Bluesky :) anyway. If you're a woman working with a mass spectrometer please ask to be added! All women are welcome! go.bsky.app/PUwu7fr

The video competition is a fun way to get creative and share your science! Looking forward to any and all video submissions for the 2025 #USHUPO conference in Philadelphia. #TeamMassSpec #Proteomics

I worked with FFPE breast tissue from breast cancer patients during my postdoc @buckinstitute.bsky.social and found a lot of great biology underlying the different subtypes of breast cancer. This allowed us to differentiate the subtypes on a molecular level.

I’ve been having a lot of fun #gardening and tending to the land lately, here’s one of the orchids I spotted today.

Looks like the Bay Area is in for some rain and snow in the mountains. Hopefully the atmospheric river doesn’t stall out over San Francisco like it did in 2022 - it dropped 5.5 inches of rain on New Years Eve.

🎼Watch me whip, watch me nene🎶 These birds are so cute! The world’s rarest geese just want to enjoy the gardens and live in a tropical paradise.

A recent study reports a noticeable drop in both the number of accounts and tweets (and overall engagement) when it comes to academics communicating online post-Musk purchase. Show this to your media/comms teams. 'The Vibes Are Off: Did Elon Musk Push Academics Off Twitter?' - shorturl.at/CFHpS

A really good paper by UniProt about UniProt. (But keep in mind, many things aren't on UniProt. They do work really hard, but so do other data clearing houses.) #proteomics

🧪 My newest first author paper at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging reveals substantial downregulation of mitochondrial & peroxisomal proteins during acute kidney injury using advanced #proteomics. doi.org/10.1002/pmic... #kidneyhealth #TeamMassSpec #mitochondria #peroxisome

I had the pleasure of attending the HUPO 2023 World Congress in Busan, South Korea! #proteomics is alive, it’s well, and it’s thriving!

ProteomicSky Feed! Hashtags do work here, but a bit differently. If you add this feed to "My Feeds", then you will get all the #proteomics #MassSpec #TeamMassSpec and even 💪⚖️ tagged posts (tags are not case sensitive). bsky.app/profile/did:...

So #TeamMassSpec, I made two feeds, ProteomicSky (last 7 days chronologically) and ProteomicSky-Hot (last 24 hours, liked ordered). Here is the latter bsky.app/profile/did:...

In eight new papers, @NANOGrav presents evidence for a gravitational wave background. The ASTROBITES team provides an overview of their results and their implication https://astrobites.org/2023/06/28/drop-the-bass-evidence-for-a-gravitational-wave-background-from-a-galaxy-sized-detector/

We’ve sent mixed messages over the past week about our policies and processes when a Bluesky user is in a mental health crisis, and want to clarify how we handle these situations. Content Warning: self-harm. Expand thread to continue reading.

First Compelling Evidence for the Gravitational Wave Background

A new window on the universe! Pulsar-timing arrays present evidence for a very-low-frequency gravitational wave background, consistent with many binary supermassive black holes. https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/06/nanograv-picks-up-signal-of-cosmic-choir-of-supermassive-black-holes/

NANOGrav hears “hum” of gravitational wave background, louder than expected. Exotic stars called millisecond pulsars serve as celestial metronomes. https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/06/nanograv-picks-up-signal-of-cosmic-choir-of-supermassive-black-holes/

BIG SCIENCE NEWS! 🧪 Global astronomers announce strongest evidence yet of stochastic gravitational wave background! I'm one of the co-authors on these papers 😭😭😭 https://www.spaceaustralia.com/feature/australian-scientists-help-uncover-cosmic-gravitational-rumblings 📸 @astronerdika.bsky.social

Was able to travel to Yosemite National Park over the long weekend and loved taking in all of the beautiful waterfalls!

a blue sky tip for new people from twitter on twitter if u reply to yourself to create a thread each post shows up as a new post on blue sky if u reply to yourself nobody sees it without reading the first one until enough people like it which is difficult if no one sees it in the first place

Saying 'life sucks' when things go wrong: - self deprecating - depressing - makes you sad Saying 'Gladis the orca wouldn't want this for me': - motivating - makes you think about Gladis the orca - reminds you that Gladis the orca cares for you

Our paper on how animal sex is way more complicated than a binary (and how acknowledging that makes us better biologists) is now out in its fully formatted form, and it's open access! 🧪 https://academic.oup.com/icb/advance-article/doi/10.1093/icb/icad027/7157109

Just bike things.

Sure, allow me to demonstrate - based on this paper I just read on DNA evidence for the presence of trematode flukes in a deep sea snail found 6200 m below sea level 🧪 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0967063723001176

Closing #ASMS2023 with an exhilarating journey through the rise and reign of mammals by Stephen Brusatte from the University of Edinburgh! This epic tale spanning 325 million years in just forty minutes was truly a grand finale. 🧪🦕🐒🏃🤖

Day 4 of #ASMS2023 🧪 wraps the conference with the Data-Independent Acquisition and Multiplexing Proteomics and the Imaging: Spatially-Resolved Omics sessions. The spirit of discovery is alive and well here!

Catching up on Day 3 of #ASMS2023 🧪 because I missed posting about it yesterday.

Smoke is a nasty disaster because along with the actual risks, the smell triggers the fearful tiny creature deep inside your mind to unrelentingly shriek FIRE! FLEE!! at you at the faintest whiff. Be gentle on yourself. While you smell smoke, you’re primed to panic & worry about EVERYTHING.

The "What's Science" feed is a feed of a curated set of scientific posts, from known members of the scientific (and closely related) community. 🧪 You can subscribe at: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:jfhpnnst6flqway4eaeqzj2a/feed/for-science

@dholms.xyz I’m wondering why when I copy and paste a link to a post, add the card, and delete the link, it does not show up as a repost on the original post. Is this not currently supported?

If you're a scientist or science communicator and want your posts to be pulled into the new Science feed: - tag @bossett.bsky.social to be added to the list of posters it pulls from - then add 🧪 to your science-specific posts, which will signal it to pull those into the feed

Day 2 of #ASMS2023 is here! I'm thrilled to share my research on differentiating breast cancer subtypes using label-free mass spectrometry on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples. Catch me at TP 122!

Join our team! Lake Champlain Sea Grant is hiring a Land Use and Water Quality Educator to do stormwater education and lead watershed science trainings for real estate professionals. Vermont jobs!

I am actually working to adapt the Steen lab method for the analysis of follicular fluid for the detection of possible biomarkers of reproductive aging in women!
