I'm excited to be going to #ObesityWeek for the first time! I'd love to connect with anyone else going or hear what you're most excited to see there! obesityweek.org

Excited to be at #GDC for the first time! #GDC2025

Is anyone able to grab this for me? #icanhazpdf journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.1...

I just donated to Wikipedia for the first time... I use it a ton. It almost always has good information. And I want to see it succeed against Musk.

I just dug up some info on BioArctic's BrainTransporter tech - almost 10x increase in drug in the brain! That's quite the image 🧪

The participants were all Latino - which feels like a first in a study. I need to dig up the underlying paper to figure out how much of a change was really detected 🧪 #sleepapnea #neurology

Hoping to try out Boltz-1...we'll see how well it installs 🤞 #proteinfolding #boltz #alphafold

Our #gingerbread is coming along. This year Jeff the #lochness monster is looking for a security job in the local town. Love that my little added a briefcase 😂

We've entered the time of year where I gain five pounds just by mixing up gingerbread...

A nice handy slide from the FDA sessions at #ASH24 of CAR-T therapy approvals to date!

And so begins the last session at #ASH24

Gonna throw it out there - if you're at #ASH24 and haven't visited headshot alley you're missing out on an incredible offer!

Guys! #ASH24 had a #puppy pen!! Look at this little guy! Apparently 4 or 5 puppies have been adopted so far, which is nuts. I can't imagine going to a conference and coming home with a puppy (despite deep desire and begging from my littles)

Slide deck from the #Keto and #Car-T talk at ASH today - for those interested. Going to try and post in a reasonable order, but failry new to bluesky...a thread... 1/x @donadickinson.bsky.social @bigmoke.bsky.social @tmask.bsky.social

#Rilzabrutinib Phase 3 LUNA 3 results in #thrombocytopenia at #ASH24 16/18 patients responded in two weeks 🧪

Dr. Shan Liu just called out the Western diet as the "Fast Food" diet and she ain't wrong 😂 And look, the Western diet upped tumor volume... I have a good friend who came back from stage 4 lung cancer after a *massive* diet change, so I find this talk on #keto boosting #Car-T interesting #ASH24 🧪

What am I missing? The #cemsidomide MonoDACTM degrader results showed a patient case study. It looks like it worked great during the first month, but after a few months disease came back with a bang...and close to 9 in 10 pts discont. (I recognize its a heavily pretreated pop. & oral) #ASH24 🧪

Big congrats to Dr Rachel Rau looking at #blinatumomab in kids. Adding it into standard #chemo significantly cut relapses and increased disease free survival. She mentioned the data monitoring board suggested a stop to randomization for efficacy. #ASH24 #ASH2024 🧪

Off to #ASH24!! Ready for some sun and lots of learning!

The self-restraint it took not to eat all my end of the year thank yous to work colleagues... But seriously, #tonyschocoloney is my fave. And nothing beats the caramel sea salt.

Hired out my first project on Fivver- turning my kids art into patches as a #stockingstuffer for my hubs. They need some work, and likely a different base material, but I am so excited!! #embroidery

Saving to read later!

Well, well, well. If it isn't my mom shaking her fingers at me saying "I told you so"

Pretty excited about my #hiking club holiday patches this year!! #takeahike #embroidery

This isn't at all surprising, but will be quite a hurdle for #US #chipmakers. A lot of electronics are about to get very expensive...

Has anyone else gotten completely addicted to #puzzmo? Found it during the #NYT tech worker strike and now I'm eyeing it as a stocking stuffer (for myself lol)

I will always be so grateful for #AlphaFold collab. What an awesome tool! 🧪

The link posted is not accessible, is this one the correct one? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I'm looking into radioisotopes at #ASH2024 and randomly came across this paper!! "A million times greater stability means that the compound lasts a million times longer. It is like comparing the length of one TV series episode with the length of a human life."

Anyone heading out to San Deigo for #ASH2024?

🧪 Researchers created Cervix-on-a-Chip, a microfluidic model mimicking the human cervix, revealing tissue responses to infections. This innovation may lead to new treatments for female reproductive diseases 🩺🖥️🧬

🧪 Im not doing anything other than sitting on a couch late at night for this to ever be truly useful for me. But yet...I want a pair... Also - who is out running in the dead of night? Like maybe 0.0001% of the population?

🧪I could not list off any other cancer drug that maintains a 100% complete response rate at the 2 year mark. Is this a total unicorn? What's the catch?!? Anyone know of other drugs that got 100% CRR?

🧪A sodium bicarbonate transporter (think baking soda transporter) helps seal the blood brain barrier after stroke. A bit over a year ago we also discovered the same transporter prevents pancreatic cancer from resisting immunotherapies. Oh, and lack of it creates cystic fibrosis like breathing

Um yes. Ten thousand times yes! If AI can't clean house physically, maybe it can clean house emotionally. If it's trained right, I am all for this (that is, of course, a HUGE caveat)🧪

Wait, so there's still a faulty valve 👀👀...and they're confident 27 of 28 thrusters are working 👀👀. Seems like launching without fixing issues is a bad plan. If I were headed into *space* I would want everything to be up to snuff. 🧪

🧪Really not sure what to think about this. On the one hand, its insanely cool. On the other, it gives off big "Terminator" vibes...

🧪 Fentanyl is a one two punch-boosts positive feelings while on drug, and uses another circuit to make withdrawal particularly nasty - both rely on mu receptors. Makes me wonder about the dev of other opioid pain killers that target other paths, like kappa. Will the FDA still shy away?

This is super cool. I'd also love to program if to be able to zone in on a specific voice. Like say...mine, when trying to get the hubs attention while listening to audiobooks and what not around the house... 🧪

Everywhere we look in the body, we're finding microplastics. Microplastics: -in the prostate might be lowering sperm count -in arteries quadruples heart attack/stroke risk -can cross the BBB and change cognition (in mice) We're all just along for the ride at this point but... 👀👀👀 🧪

Today I learned I can respond to outlook emails with emoji's. It's giving me life.

🧪Guys, there's a bee vaccine, and its essentially given through a massive candy delivery. I want this vaccine tech - imagine getting to eat a lollipop for your next booster (yes I know human vaccines don't work like this, but a girl can dream) Also, love this for the bees.

This is a really cool way to try and vaccinate for HIV. I think older generations would have never imagined a vaccine that protects from multiple HPV induced cancers - but my kids can now get one. It's entirely possible their kids get an HIV vaccine. And that's just incredible. 🧪

Once I was lazy and asked ChatGPT for decay charts for some element. Was mid mtg with my boss walking through it when I was like...wait...that's not what alpha decay looks like... Ever since I haven't trusted GPT. Now I see it's literally worse than a coin toss... 🧪 dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1...

🧪Cool idea, but there's no way this scales in a meaningful way to make any sort of dent in climate change... Plus we know there's no infinite energy machine. Using this to scrub power plant emissions and then using the carbon monoxide as fuel for the same power plants feels like snake oil.

I searched, there's no data on adverse events or on the number of patients who stopped b/c of side effects. Just some hand waving "it's fine". Kinda makes me think it's not fine. Because if it really was, why wouldn't Roche release the numbers? The field is too crowded for these shenanigans. 🧪

🧪Big fan of sun storms paired with clear Earth skies! I'd love to see your pics if you got to see the aurora in action!

🧪When science meets art, and art meets science. Looks like the Mona Lisa was painted in Lecco Italy, and the data is going to be presented at a geology conference in...Lecco Italy. Talk about a coincidence!

4,000 connections into a single neuron, imaged in breathtaking detail. 🤯 And that's just one tiny tidbit from the cubic millimeter sampled. The images are out of this world. Go check them out! 🧪For detailed shared images: h01-release.storage.googleapis.com/gallery.html

This is a really cute clip showing how your health improves as your daily step count goes up. I had no idea 10k started as a marketing gimmick. And I really appreciate that this doesn't set a number - just shows you benefits at various step counts. 🧪
