Somehow I missed this, but the #TRUPATH patent was granted. I remember writing the draft with Ryan in the UNC library. Definitely a learning experience to write in a completely different way for a different purpose. Taking a moment to experience pride today. patents.google.com/patent/US123...

What is this garbage article these people are clearly loons

INCREDIBLE CURVES

Apparently Bluesky is seeing an influx of new users. Welcome! If you're interested in science, journalism, and/or science writing, here are a bunch of folks worth following. go.bsky.app/7Z8u31b

Excited to share a recent preprint by Oliver Newsom, where we evaluate the functional contributions of serum for cancer cell proliferation. Inside: A broadly applicable serum-free media, Quantitative lipid uptake characterization, Evidence lipid scavenging > synthesis for cancer cell proliferation.

Our work detailing the metabolic roles of serum for cancer cell proliferation is now out at JBC, @asbmbjournals.bsky.social! Congrats to Oliver and Eric and many thanks to the editor and reviewers for a thoughtful and efficient review process. See here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

Cool Postdoc opportunity alert! UNC SPIRE (Seeding Postdoctoral Innovators in Research & Education)-it provides scholars with both high quality research training & the opportunity to develop research based teaching skills that will inspire students across the sciences 1/n spire.unc.edu/program-info/

So excited for this piece by me and @deffinger.bsky.social to be out! It was inspired by science and discussion from many venues from @sfn.org to #GRCPsychedelics 🧠

Carefully reading the papers you cite is like a superpower. You might be surprised what you actually find! 😜

The government knowingly putting false information in the label of a drug is crossing a Rubicon that should not be taken lightly

Have been told this is normal

The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

This is also a millennial show

Toddler has gotten very much into Bullet with Butterfly Wings and will suffer no other Smashing Pumpkins song. He is also adamant that the lead singer and guitarist is not Billy Corgan but Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc and will argue at the top of his lungs if you say otherwise.

My "Not involved in human trafficking" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.jpeg

Morrissey watching the Oasis reunion and crashing out is well deserved.

Insane

Bye bye England. See you again in hopefully not too long.

Lol sure.

Oxford is so beautiful. The way things are built into the beautiful local environment just puts you at peace. The people are friendly, worldly, and diverse. Definitely miss it. Very glad to be back briefly to visit colleagues and friends. We can learn so much about ways to live by traveling...

Oh no, Tarrifs have followed me! In all seriousness, if we used words like Tarrifs in their literal sense like the Brits do.maybe people would grasp the whole import tarrif situation more clearly.

Hello England!

one cool thing about having dogs is, every morning when you wake up: there are dogs

‘Seek Funding’ Step Added To Scientific Method

This is incredible

Ugh. UNC is pretty clearly the cream of that crop, and this decision is highly disappointing. It's shocking how many top universities are ready to throw their credibility and reputations away, esp in advance. History shows appeasement rarely benefits the appeaser.

“With these considerations, we expect to fund through the 4th percentile.” There it is, in black and white, the destruction of cancer research in the US.

WIRED is hiring! We're looking for a senior writer to cover the frontiers of scientific advancement—breakthroughs in space tech, quantum science, nanotechnology, batteries, and more—and the people and companies behind them. This role is based in our London office. www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/42...

among the many things they don’t tell you about having kids is the amount of money you will shell out to buy various berries

no it wasn’t and no it didn’t

Organoids are nowhere near ready. Use them as part of the funnel? Sure. Replace? Absolutely not.

Can’t believe #GRCPsychedelics is happening in two weeks! We reached capacity attendance – sorry we could not accommodate everyone. We look forward to seeing many of you at the meeting. w/ @vyazovskiy.bsky.social @viditavaidya.bsky.social @melissaherman.bsky.social

Unconscionable

Kulldorff in his opening statement says fACIP will go after the MMR vaccine timing and “resolve religious objections some parents have to the current MMR vaccine”. IMO, scientists shouldn’t be wading into matters of religion. This is a matter of religious doctrine.

Compass Pathways’ Psilocybin Clears First Phase 3 Hurdle “Rest assured, we’ve got something pretty special here”, Chief Commercial Officer Englebert told Psychedelic Alpha. psychedelicalpha.com/news/compass...

Super exciting phase 1-2 results of restorative therapy for T1D just out at NEJM www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.... Imagine the transformative potential when paired with genetic + autoantibody screening in early life... nearly every T1D case could be prevented??🤞

"I want Chinese!" ~ 3 year old after asking for the Moana soundtrack and being upset it wasn't the mandarin version Spotify decided to play last time.

(a) nowhere near enough (b) how guaranteed is funding to sustain the potential influx more permanently (c) will there be accelerated visa and residency processes?

Everyone needs to know Huberman is a massive grifter

Reminder: Nobel-prize winning PCR (1983), used in basically all genetic tech today, was only possible because of extremophile bacterium discovered in 1964 in Yellowstone funded by a small ~$80k NSF grant with no obvious application at the time. #science 🧪 www.richmondscientific.com/how-a-discov...

Looks like boltz-2 is calculating pic50 values from micromolar @gcorso.bsky.social will there be a patch to have this calculated from the negative log of the predicted Ki/IC50 in M units? Will make it far easier for people to use the estimates directly.
