Irma Sánchez PhD comments :Many "white" women were supportive and instrumental in making my life better. Genetically, on the nucleotide level I am at least 25% or more "white" as well. My mother looked "white". I wish POC would stop villainizing "white women." nypost.com/2026/01/18/u...

So we had 1 vacuum sealed bag of "fresh " curry leaves " from Kalyustan's in NYC purchased 2 years ago , Irma was afraid to use it since I had a major allergic reaction ( needed an epinephrine shot) to a commercially purchased beignet mix ( I ended up in the ER ) was she being too cautious ?

Why is there radio silence on the part of most of the world ? nypost.com/2026/01/17/w...

Irma recommends this : an inexpensive potato peeler that has never rusted in yes ,over 25 years of use. www.amazon.com/Linden-Swede...

Brian's childhood dog named "Happy" was really smart. So when a bath was imminent, discussions were limited to " B-A-T-H " otherwise a bath was impossible . www.timesofisrael.com/israeli-rese...

We regret to say that this opinion piece is absolutely right. To quote someone long ago "Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?" In this case we would extend " sir" to all who ignore the plight of the Iranian people. nypost.com/2026/01/16/o...

There used to be several Turkish restaurants near the lab. Now, there is just one left. We have many lab outings at Sahara. Visit it if you are in the neighborhood. The food is great and so are the staff.

Well put. www.jpost.com/opinion/arti...

www.jpost.com/opinion/arti... We invite the mayor of NYC to say more than ""I absolutely do not support the way the Iranian government has responded to that," he said during a press conference on Tuesday when asked about Iran." Can you say a bit more about "THAT"?

NYC today, 30F outside, feels like 21 F. Corner of 2nd ave and East 12 st. There are at least 4 people in that encampment. But, hey the Grace Mansion is getting bidets......

Irma Sánchez PhD : I guess the NYC has no more to say about "THAT" ie the plight of the Iranian people. Why so much about this and not "THAT" ? www.jpost.com/internationa...

Who will be the new James Bond ? Our top choice is Idris Elba and a close 2nd Aaron Taylor Johnson. Who in our opinion has been the best James Bond so far ? Who else ? Sean Connery.

It takes little effort and no risk to remove a small threat, it takes courage to eliminate a big one.

Irma Sánchez PhD comments: This is all the Mayor of NYC has had to say about the atrocities in Iran.

Hello? Anybody out there ? www.timesofisrael.com/iranian-auth...

This is wrong on so many levels. Scientists all over the world complain about funding, climate change, DEI, ICE etc - why are we not speaking LOUD against this ? nypost.com/2026/01/12/w...

We decided to change the avatar to further emphasize that the Dynlacht Lab is not one person- its all of us.

nypost.com/2026/01/13/w... And yes, the Mayor of NYC who condemns his own government on many issues, has said not one word about this.

More than 10,000 people have been arrested in Iran, according to a U.S.-based Iranian human rights monitor.

www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent.... 648 people...... nobody cares including the Mayor of NYC says Irma Sánchez PhD and yes, Brian agrees with me about this.

nypost.com/2026/01/12/w... Why are academics on the Bsky and the Mayor of NYC not speaking up and condemning this ?

Irma Sánchez PhD: I share ownership of a NYC home too- I am not white either. We saved 12 years living in faculty housing in order to save enough for a down payment. The Mayor's support for Cea Weaver is incomprehensible. nypost.com/2026/01/11/u...

www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent... Surprise, surprise...

nypost.com/2026/01/11/o.... Irma Sánchez PhD posted this and comments : Do not vote for this person. She doesnt' care about protecting children, she just wants to get re-elected.

Orata pugliese- dinner tonight. we are so so lucky to live near a market that always has this fish. Pair this with a salad and a glass or two of Pinot Grigio- one of our favorite meals. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvEy...

Yesterday, we learned that Google AI can "hallucinate". It identified a motif in an isoform of a protein we are studying. But this isoform had not been reported. So we asked Google AI to tell us how to find this isoform, and were informed that it was a AI hallucination ! Tread carefully.

Google AI , we learned today, confessed it can "hallucinate". Tread carefully.

As the second Donald J. Trump administration and 119th Congress move into their second year, their priorities for science are becoming clearer. But plenty of uncertainty also lies ahead in 2026, analysts say. cen.acs.org/policy/resea... #chemsky 🧪

nypost.com/2026/01/08/u.... Yet, the mayor of NYC is focusing on issues that are happening outside of NYC. Distract and divide is how he plans to "govern". Sound familiar ?

nypost.com/2026/01/08/o... Irma Sánchez PhD comments: I am Mexican & have noticed that my community is working in NYC restaurants preparing a wide range of I know Breads can easily find Mexicans to make their bread.....

www.timesofisrael.com/workers-of-i... We have one in the hospital and it is great to have it just an elevator ride away. Patients love it and so do the hospital employees !

According to the NY Post, Breads Bakery is Israeli owned ! They make delicious breads, coffee and fortunately for us-they are just an elevator away from the lab. Their sufganiyot were amazing. We are going to suggest that they sell malawach ( Yemenite- Jewish flatbread).

Irma Sánchez PhD asks : Did the USA commit genocide during WWII by bombing German cities ? Is Russia commiting genocide by bombing the Ukraine ?

www.timesofisrael.com/spanish-map-... Over 30 years ago, we were denied entrance into Barcelona synagogue by the community members monitoring the entrance on Yom Kippur, because they were afraid to let visitors doven with them .We didnt understand why their fear - we do now.

nypost.com/2026/01/05/u.... Irma Sanchez PhD comments : I think NY Democrats should focus on THIS and a federal budget and not complain about the foreign affair activities of the POTUS.

Irma Sánchez PhD : The Mayor of NYC needs to do his JOB. His job does not include the foreign policy of the USA. nypost.com/2026/01/04/o...

www.cnn.com/2026/01/02/s.... We do not agree. Today , we saw "New Yorkers" picking a trash can on 6 th Ave and 14th ave searching for something probably food.

Hmm, we get blamed for everything..... nypost.com/2026/01/03/w...

www.timesofisrael.com/spanish-jews... Irma Sánchez PhD asks: Is a school, business Jewish/Zionist if most of its administrative leadership is Jewish ? In NYC, that would be a lot of schools, businesses .....

Irma just took this out of the pantry !

Found this. Really nice. Woody Guthrie bridged Baez and Dylan at least for this song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBE-...

Beauty and the Beast is one of Brian's favorite films. I bought him this book to go with the DVD he bought a long time ago. We are watching it again tonight. A film that is poetry.

nypost.com/2025/12/26/u... Brian and I are not parents. But,after reading this article - we will try to make sure that every kid we find out can't read a clock- will know how. A simple 1 minute lesson. Be a teacher, it costs nothing.

This goes well with champagne. Looking forward to New Year's Eve. www.facebook.com/100043006598...

Shingles vaccine - we both decided to do it yesterday. It knocked off our feet, hope it is better tomorrow.

Today Irma and I went shopping to our local Target ( Union Square) and we were very happy to run into the rabbi who has led us in celebrating High Holidays since moving to NYC (2003). She is an inspiring woman of great faith & we are fortunate to know her.
