As an imaging scientist, I will never type the word "imagine" without typing "imaging" first.

"Chladni figures" from 1787 created by German physicist and musician Ernst Chladni, showing nodal patterns made by drawing a bow along the edge of a sand-covered plate. More here: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/chladni-figures-1787

Also A+ use of what looks like video of a Yayoi Kusama installation in the background

Is this the bar we're holding our tech entrepreneurs to these days? It seems difficult to spend trillions and *not* transform the world. Hit me up, I can do it for 1/10th of that.

As a fan of the em and en dashes prior to the explosion of its use with ChatGPT, I'm conflicted. One one hand, I am happy others will now use this helpful punctuation; however, I don't like that people view it as a signal that GPT was the source of the writing.

Writing 'Hope all is well!' in an email has felt increasingly awkward lately. Like, no, all is clearly not well, but what am I supposed to do, write 'Hope things are medium okay'?

I'm hiring! I'm recruiting a postdoctoral scholar to help launch and shape my new lab at @uoknightcampus.bsky.social!! careers.uoregon.edu/en-us/job/53...

Finally fulfilled my dream of owning a 1952 Topps card with this Larry Doby gem. Sharing it on Jackie Robinson Day because Doby was the second African American in MLB, following Robinson. Both legends broke barriers, inspiring us toward equality and inclusion. #JackieRobinsonDay #LarryDoby

Pub alert for a paper written in collaboration with Mike King's lab where we used focused ultrasound to mechanically stimulate prostate tumor cells in vivo, enhancing apoptosis. Congratulations to our brilliant team members, Abigail Fabiano and Malachy Newman, for their exceptional work!

I don't see any other way to look at this: Trump and Republicans are killing cancer and brain research while vacuuming $126 million out of our economy

I've been calling every day to see what our Republican Senators in Tennessee's official stance is on the NIH cuts and firings: Marsha Blackburn: (202) 224-3344 Bill Hagerty: (202) 224-4944 No word yet. The interns at Hagerty's office are friendly. Marsha's goes to voicemail

💯 A company might have a much lower IDC rate but they are not responsible for training their employees for 5 years with the intended goal that these people move on and bring these skills to another company.

In Tennessee - NIH FUNDING: $770M Jobs supported: 9,362 Economic activity supported: $1.99 B www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...

Total novice on this topic, but I'm pretty sure the indirect rate is negotiated between the NIH and research institutes. It's not a made up number. It's what both parties agreed on as the cost to perform research

Happy to share our latest research on tracking tumor response in triple-negative breast cancer using ultrafast doppler ultrasound, paving the way for personalized treatments. Grateful for the amazing collaborative work with Shannon and the Rafat lab! 🩺🔬 #CancerResearch #BreastCancer #Immunotherapy

"If you look at conditions like depression or epilepsy, [up to] a third of these patients just don’t get better. It’s those groups where a technology like this could be a life-changing solution." www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Get in ultrasound researchers, we're making this Blue Sky thing happen. I'm making an ultrasound researchers starter pack, and I'm not stopping until I get 150 of you on there: go.bsky.app/5cRvjPz

If you are a public servant (government/academic/research, etc.) or working on topics that are specifically under attack, I just want to say my heart is with you. Your work is valuable. You are valuable.

I'm trying *very* hard to not freak out (on public forums) about everything that is going to happen with this administration; however, if the new admin disrupts NIH funding, it will mean I have to fire people and/or change my career

Well, that was the most Tuesday feeling Friday I've ever had

Not an expert on birds or aviation but I think this guy is falling rather than flying

get in loser we’re buying electrical components for a side project we don’t have time for 🚀

Neuroscience students asked us to teach a PRACTICAL course on experimental methods, and it is now on YouTube! Please like and repost to help us get the word out! www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... Lecture 1: Signals and data acquisition Focusing on hardware, digital/analog I/O, synchronization 🧵

As a Texan, I'm pretty far from British and don't get worked up about tea, but even I can tell that microwaving water in a mug and then putting the tea bag in tastes worse to me

Compounded by people looking to finish papers by the end of the year

If anyone here manages a weekly seminar at their university or wherever, I'd be interested to know how you select your speakers. I have a list of many people I'd love to have visit and am trying to figure out how to select

Opportunity at a super cool nonprofit FRO in the ultrasound neurotech space!

Learning about imaging CSF *and* Japanese food. A+

Back in action here and happy to be sharing this collaborative work with @rafatlab.bsky.social where we look at tumors with high frame rate Doppler

100% -- don't be afraid to show us your data, warts and all.. we can handle it and it's much better than a reviewer finding it later

Got my flu shot! #flulapalooza

I worked on a *lot* of science this year (too much maybe--i'm tired), but I'm just as proud of the animated backdrops I made for these shows. Shannon and Jamie were super inspiring to work with

Reskeeting to see what it feels like to learn into the weirdness 🤔

Seeing the term "reskeet," and as someone who was alive 2004 to 2010 I don't think this is a good term

Happy PharmPhriday 💊 Vintage drug ads are one of my favorite things and among the top thoughts when someone says they long for “the good old days” (oh yeah? Was it the blatant racism, sexism, and bigotry, and the heavy sedative use?) What are some of your favorite vintage drug ads or labels? 🧪 🩺

All who celebrate international cat day, please meet Porchy!

As evidenced by Nobel prize winner Karl von Frisch here, science is often not the kind of job where you think: "Hey, one day I want do to do X." Or maybe Karl did, but I'd like to think not in this scenario https://acousticstoday.org/at-collections-underwater-hearing/

Today was the first day I spent more time on bsky than the bird site, and it was entirely due to anti-woke nonsense about the USWNT. There's still more science on twitter, but I am just so exhausted from being inundated with complete garbage opinions and "personalities"

I am worried by the popularity of this post that there are people who think tex-mex isn't good. These people cannot be trusted

We have a no smoking policy at the med center, and my office exits to a good hiding place. It always cracks me up when I leave work and a grown adult cups their cigarette in their hand in shame like I'm a high school teacher busting them behind the gym or something

Someone on the Nashville subreddit asked where a toddler can hold a snake. I'm assuming this kind of question is regional. Steve Irwin would be proud

I looked at our "sister cities" (Austin and Portland), and I guess such low turnout is normal-ish. Seems low. At least the two expelled members of the TN-three were re-instated (artwork by local gfx design powerhouse Sam Smith)

If I'm adding things up right, only about 14% of the Nashville population voted for mayor. That kind of turnout does not align with the amount of complaining people do about the direction of this city

Last month I also got to see The Cure live. Their music has always been important to me, and seeing them play better than ever well into their sixties was inspiring. The whole experience was super uplifting, which isn't necessarily what one might expect from The Cure 🖤❤️🖤
