My backpack got pulled aside in Canadian security Ma'am is this your bag? (yes) Are you traveling with a lot of candy? (yes 😅)

My cousin's Canadian husband would not let me leave the country without these. 🤣 Toronto has been lovely. We'll see how my kids like these chips.

Very excited for this benchmarking study exploring how LLMs perform at reading real world clinical texts. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Had an amazing time with Bo Wang's group at UToronto today. I saw some really exciting projects that really gave me a glimpse into the future of AI tools for physicians. Thanks so much to Jun Ma for hosting me last minute!!

My husband had to remind me that flying to Toronto is international. Looking forward to speaking at the CRAFT symposium craftmicrofluidics.ca/events/craft... and meeting some researchers at the Vector institute! Added bonus I get to see my cousin who finished her Ph.D. at the University of Guelph!

I am indebted to the microscopy community for welcoming me and teaching me what an editor can be.

I am looking to recruit 2 postdoctoral fellows to the lab to work on a recently funded project focused on class switch recombination in B cells. If you are interested in immunology, gene expression, and RNA and protein single molecule imaging, please reach out ([email protected]). Please share!

I am in the presence of greatness at the Ross Prize Symposium. Congratulations to Carl June and Michel Sadelain! Looking forward to a great afternoon of talks.

My goodness we're on the go.

My daughter loves making slime and I love going on about basic polymer chemistry so win-win.

Korea reduces the immigration barriers for foreign researcher www.koreatimes.co.kr/southkorea/2... Happy to see this happening.

Congratulations to Gautam Dey (EMBL) and Omaya Dudin (University of Geneva) for being awarded the EMBO Gold Medal 2026 in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the #LifeSciences in Europe! 🧪 https://www.embo.org/press-releases/embo-gold-medal-2026-awarded-to-gautam-dey-and-omaya-dudin/

Always travel with your own chair

i also 'store' pdfs in the downloads folder, but that's actually a bit misleading because when i need a pdf, i do not retrieve it from the downloads folder, where it may well be stored. i just go back to the internet and download it again

We bought an Audi Q4 EV and it's super nice but I find it intimidating! It's very high tech 🤣 compared to my 2009 Hyundai Elantra.

Btw here’s a good deep dive into how LLMs actually work (and how they don’t, aka no thinking or reasoning going on): www.0xkato.xyz/how-llms-act...

This is the editorial that the physicians were sharing at the American Diabetes Association conference To appease the MAGA/MAHA Administration, the ADA called the cops to get the physicians removed These physicians are heroic If you can’t speak out & condemn authoritarianism NOW, then when?

Excited to share our paper about copick, a dataset API and toolkit for collaborative annotation and analysis of #cryoET data! Whether you're picking particles or curating segmentations, copick reduces friction and brings #OME-Zarr to cryoET without breaking pipelines. 🧵👇 doi.org/10.1002/pro.70578

I was excited for this work since the first time I saw Sandrine talk about it at an SMLMS. So happy to see it out in Nature Methods!!

I have often been critical of the leadership @aaas.org but they just took action on the new OMB rules that will politicize science, speaking out and notifying members. I hope all take the time to follow their advice, contact Congress, and most important, post a comment www.aaas.org/news/aaas-st...

Yesterday—4 days after OMB released its proposal to revamp all federal funding—there were 3500+ comments. Today there are nearly 4,500. Our story on the damage the proposal could inflict on science and the researchers pushing back. Reported w/@marilenharo.bsky.social:

Read about how @openflexure.bsky.social has helped us develop new live-cell imaging capabilities in financially constrained settings openflexure.org/live_cell_im... Thanks @wellcometrust.bsky.social + BBSRC for supporting research in this area @globalbioimaging.bsky.social @bioimaginguk.bsky.social

Hello #world, meet 1,000× Expansion Microscopy. A small gel would grow to the size of an Olympic swimming pool, while amino-acid-scale distances become visible with ordinary light microscopy.

Computers can plausibly simulate anything from a household to multiplanetary civilizations. Simulating the fundamental unit of life — the cell — should be a cakewalk. New in @nature.com, @eisensteinium.bsky.social explains why it's not. 🧪 🤖 🦠https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-01731-1

Russell Vought, Director of the OMB, has issued a set of proposed changes that would dramatically alter federal grant funding. However, we can each take action to prevent these from taking effect. Here's how, a 🧵 🧪 1/n www.science.org/content/arti...

In Differential Equations 1 (my first math class in college) my prof told me to find a guy to do a group project with to do well. I chose the only other girl. I had the highest grade at the end of that class. Got a different prof for DE2.

Finally saw Project Hail Mary and it was just as great as everyone said.

'In the Oumi analysis, Gemini 2 provided answers that were “ungrounded” 37 percent of the time, meaning the AI Overviews cited websites that didn’t support the information they provided. But with Gemini 3, this jumped to 56 percent.' futurism.com/artificial-i...

And my own take on some of the key points in what OMB/Vought is trying to do here: "If you wanted to cripple science research and were disappointed that Congress continued to fund it, this is the sort of document you would produce."

My own post reminded me that last year I found a five leaf clover.

My daughter asked me to find her a 4 leaf clover and I did. I found her one yesterday too that she gave to her teacher. I think I am observant but maybe I am spending too much time looking at the ground.

A first for me as a chief, I had to learn what to do when an author passes away between submission and acceptance. A first author 😭😭FWIW, we allow dedications in such cases.

I have written many editorials, yet each time I do I feel so proud of myself 😅 Speaking of, our most recent editorial is championing day-to-day science, even while being in awe of moonshots. Inspired by the Artemis mission. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Read a comment online saying that the Ebola outbreak is a hoax to try to influence the midterm elections in the U.S. and another that it's to force people to take another vaccine. I find myself more and more estranged from this world and the people in it.

My husband accidentally left a portable battery in his checked luggage and he got the look of death from the inspector who called him in to check his luggage before we flew home from Korea. We won't do that again!

The MOSAIC paper is out in Nature Methods. For the record I went after this paper for *years* and was so happy when they sent it to me/us. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
