Maybe shouldn’t have had 3 espresso martinis... 😳

The revolution will be inflatable..

Can. not. Sleep. Ugh. have to be up in 3hrs…

Thanks to all of you who showed up today on behalf of those of us who couldn’t be there! #nokings

Let slip the frogs of war

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado has been awarded this year's Nobel Peace Prize. "When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognise courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist," the Norwegian Nobel Committee said in its citation.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

Portland has elevated protesting to an art form.

If you are a federal worker, there are several credit unions and other financial institutions that are offering zero interest loans during the government shutdown. Please go to my website for more information: www.sanders.senate.gov/resources-fo...

Today, I'm signing legislation to safeguard our elections and the voice of every voter. It's now illegal to use contests or payments to get people to register to vote. And in the 2026 election, voters have the chance to repeal our state's ban on the public financing of elections.

I am saddened at the passing of Jane Goodall from her earthly form. First I thought “some goodness has left us today” But nothing ever really goes away. it just changes. So I open myself to taking on some of that goodness, that energy to make the world better.

Morning walk

Mar🐫 said it’s national schnauzer day. In honor, some pictures of my favorite schnauzers…

I can't thank you enough for the massive outpouring of well-wishes on this very special day. 🫶, Mar🐫

Did you know that fevers in early pregnancy also cause genetic mutations in fetuses and resulting developmental abnormalities? Know how we treat and prevent that? Yeah, Tylenol.

Vaccine-triggered autism, AKA fauxtism

Did we all take organic chemistry & the MCAT & miss the social part of our early 20’s and work 80 hours a week for 3+ years for the brain worm guy who doesn’t know what a p-value is to destroy our nation’s public health system? No. Time to lean into our expertise and speak up.

Everyone with their head down "focusing on the science": Our grandchildren are going to ask us someday what we did in this moment to protect their rights - what will you say??

First Colbert, now Kimmel. Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval. Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism.

"How Are the Very Rich Feeling About New York’s Next Mayor?" A Dramatic Reading of The Recent New York Times Dispatch from the Hamptons. Presented by The Gilded Age's Morgan Spector.

The Supreme Court just ruled this meme is constitutional.

Looking forward to FASEB GI epithelium meeting tomorrow! Hope to see some of you there! #intestine #organoids

Oh man this is all just too much today.

Stellar work by NiiCE lab postdoc Dr Oliveira for this new preprint showing that WNT2B *prevents* colon cancer, in contrast to other WNT family members. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hey @mckey-lab.bsky.social @jenmckey.bsky.social this you?’

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Thinking of our CDC friends. Another day in the USA, more gun violence. Wishing those impacted peace.

The amazing summer student who worked in the lab gave me this awesome intestine pillow for my office!

Experts, including the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Infectious Diseases Society of America, have been kicked out of workgroups that help advise about national vaccine policy.

imagine being championed by RFK jr and vilified by laura loomer lol

It has taken medical science 200 years to advance humans to the point where people are so healthy and living so long that they can deny that science and medicine is what got us here.

Finally, a retirement plan I can afford

“Here, too, powerful people are responding to authoritarian advances just as their Hungarian counterparts have — not with defiance, but with capitulation, convinced that they can maintain their independence and stay above the fray.” This applies to scientific and academic leaders too. 🧪

I will always, no matter what the circumstances, be absolutely and adamantly opposed to letting children starve.

“Research cuts aren’t about shrinking government, they’re about killing science.” Killing science and killing universities. Yes. Both.

Defund the police: something that never really happened, but everybody talked about. Defund the scientists: something that's actually happening, but almost nobody's talking about in those terms.
