Looking forward to #DDW2026! I’ll be presenting on immune-fibroblast crosstalk in the “GI Fibrosis and Pathologic Function” session on Saturday at 2PM!

I came here in 1975. I'm a Nobel Prize-winning scientist born in Germany during WWII, came here in 1975 thinking there was no way fascism could take hold in this country. I was wrong. I don't not want to be book-ended by two fascist regimes. We will stand up and set things right.

RFK Jr. just said that immigration is to blame for the outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases in the U.S., not him.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

My quote of the day We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run over. Ambrose Bierce

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

the guys walking around in shoes that don’t fit are not gonna do a 25th Amendment

There’s still time to register for the upcoming @eosinophilsoc.bsky.social webinar! #immunosky #medsky 🧪 #scisky

Kiddo is sick and has been delightfully creative in describing how he’s feeling 🤢 This morning he was a rotten pepper. 🌶️ Now he’s a beat up pickle. 🥒 Hopefully soon he feels more like a kid than an abused vegetable ❤️‍🩹

I will never understand the mindset of people who reject modern medicine (vaccines) but then expect modern medicine (blood transfusions, ventilators, antibiotics, chemotherapy).

The progressive candidate has overtaken our “centrist” Democrat incumbent in the Colorado primary!! She’s running for universal healthcare, closing the wealth gap, and abolishing 🧊 Absolutely incredible 🔥

oh cool we’re doing the Wire Mother experiment again, but on all of society

A simple middle of the night search to determine if it’s still safe to sleep on my back and the AI result* CAN’T EVEN GET TRIMESTERS RIGHT. *I’ve turned AI off in the browser on my laptop but not phone apparently.

The thing about using generative AI is that the worst case scenario is that it hallucinates, fracturing the entire concept of knowledge/reality. It was never designed to generate truth, and its errors are deadly. Best case scenario is ::checks notes:: we don’t have to write our own emails.

I wonder... 🤔🤔🧪 #chemsky a) what program did the authors use to make the original (left) figure in the paper? Wild guess, ChatGPT b) how such high school science level of disgrace pass peer review in @nature.com? Note this was Fig.4.a NOT in SI www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The thing about me being a GenAI skeptic is that I am a third gen early adopter. My machine worker grandpa thought computers were the future and had an Apple IIE. I had two Geocities sites. Was on Facebook when it was still Harvard only. You know how hard you have to try to make me hate new tech???

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

✅ Oral abstract presented ✅ Posters posted ✅ Questions asked and answered #AAAAI26

Our PIKE-PREP student gave an incredible presentation in the CEGIR/TIGER session at #AAAAI26 Come see her poster (plus another from the lab) during the poster session tomorrow!

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

I’ve commented on “academic negging” but this is a much more sophisticated way to describe the phenomenon 😉

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

This @bostonreview.bsky.social piece by @adambonica.bsky.social and @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social is an absolute must-read, as are many of the responses to it. Spread this one far and wide.

IDK if my algorithm did a thing or if we just passed a filing deadline or what, but I’m seeing several accounts for progressive candidates looking to unseat republicans and establishment democrats across my state and it is GIVING ME LIFE!!! LFG!! 🔥

The crafting community isn’t new to this. We’re true to this 😎 🧶

This is state terror. The sides to take now are clear for all civic leaders: politicians, business leaders, media executives & editors, university presidents, partners in law firms. You stand with the people or you stand with the brutes & thugs. We will all remember. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/o...

in 1973, basque separatists killed spain’s fascist prime minister with a bomb so powerful it launched the car he was in clear over a five story building. he survived the initial attack but died in the hospital

If given the opportunity, a journalist needs to ask Milhoan the incidence of hospitalization and death he would need to see from this 'experiment' to concede that these vaccinations are important and ought to be strongly recommended/required. Put a figure on his indifference to suffering and death.

Pressure works! Capitulation and appeasement does not! apnews.com/article/dei-...

Louder for the ones in the back. HELL 👏 ISN’T 👏 HOT 👏 ENOUGH 👏

Major steps forward are always called disruptive or untimely. Progress that serves the public disrupts systems built on silence. Today - and every day - we’re fighting the good fight on behalf of the people: evidence over power, justice over silence. #MLK #standupforscience

1. Adjust expectations of productivity. 2. Fighting for science now = more science we can all do later. So, fight! 3. Build community—every scientist is a friend now. We are in this together. 4. Do the science you can do, w/ the time & resources you have. 5. The wonders remain! Soak them in.

Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most.

A study on 1.7 million people in Hong Kong shows superior hybrid immunity to Covid in people who got vaccinated before infection vs. people who got infected first. "Our findings are a direct rebuttal to arguments for natural immunity," the authors write. doi.org/10.1016/j.va...

Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns. Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.

I think some folks are way past the the skills of 3 Christmas ghosts. Let's just give Krampus a map of D.C. and call it a day.

C R Y I N G this is so perfect lmao x: www.instagram.com/reel/DQ7cPSf...

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

@aoc.bsky.social says of Mamdani victory: "A lot of people...are willing to talk about party unity when it serves them, but not party unity when it serves everybody." "We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind."

My favorite thing about Mamdani’s victory is that it shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that progress won’t be curtailed by the centrists in the Democratic party. The “moderate” candidate was also on the ballot, with endorsements, name recognition, and $$millions. And he still lost.

I’m stoked about Mamdani, but since I’m not an NYC resident I’m also extremely excited that voters in Aurora might have ousted an incumbent city council member who helped stoke all the TDA rumors

Today I took our ballots to the drop box! Local elections are so important, I hope we get to see city council and school board members who care about our community! 💪🏼

I blogged about standing on my apartment roof a mile northwest of this photo, on a warm September afternoon 24 years ago, trying to take in the fact that passengers had forced their own plane into the soil rather than allow this to happen.

I’ve already been expanding my recipe rotation with beans and lentils for protein because of the cost of meat. Here’s another good reason 😳

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you
