Wow 👇

So cool to see this one finally out. Oxylipins continue to fascinate with their multiple functions. What an amazing group of compounds. Shout out to Marina Botana @greasy-scientist.bsky.social for a fantastic study. The first of many to come!

Beautiful morning for a paddle

Wonderful to be back in Kyoto. Thinking of you @metabomichael.bsky.social

Good morning

Glorious fall morning

Shameful

I spent the weekend in Delhi. What the locals showed me shocked me. I promised I would share it with the world as just like the dogs they are voiceless youtu.be/6wgTYH6Te20?...

Some are embracing the fantasy that the cuts to #NIH funding will only have an impact here in the USA. As Nature reports, the NIH is the largest global funder by far and dwarfs the rest of the world’s funders of biomedical research. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Another “spatial refuge” finally succumbs to rising sea temperatures. The hopeful narrative that isolated “heat-resistant reefs” will continue to avoid climate change (and somehow recolonise everywhere else) is wearing very thin. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Great to see this out!

Every day, we kill around 274,000 sharks. This isn’t sustainable. It’s madness. 📸: Brian Skerry

Another beautiful morning in Stockholm

The beginning of a spring break filled with endless possibility
