I just heard an ad that said “Ford was built on the belief that no can tell you what you can’t do” and man if I were Ford corp the LAST thing I’d want to remind anyone is the beliefs of Henry Ford 🫣

the fact that Sandwich Guy is facing this 'wich trial at all is evidence of subpar justice. he is a hero being put through the judicial grinder. i hope the jury wraps up a not guilty verdict without delay or loafing around

We rocked the Zohte

A thread about keeping one’s head above water under the current conditions and not being incapacitated by rage, fear, despair or some mixture of those (1/11)

This sounded a little too good to be true

Thank you, Chicago.

Sometimes I just want to ask people, “Have you heard the good news of our Lord and Savior, Common Sense?”

My HPLC was definitely overlooked www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Go Bears! Go UC Berkeley Chemistry!!!

It’s happened again

Neat trick if you polycolonal ab's suck. Incubate them with fixed cells with a KO of your protein of interest, then spin. Protocol here: www.med.upenn.edu/markslab/ass... I was amazed how well it worked on first try (I'm sure that I can completely eliminate unspecific bands) #WesternBlot #cellsky

No. It's a stolen Tumblr post: www.tumblr.com/5-and-a-half...

Hominid re-diversification

I would love it if there was a season of Bake Off where the showstoppers were simply like “bake 3 types of biscuits, a dozen each”. Really sick of these insane architectural challenges

I want a gif of the small triangle expanding to reveal the big triangle, in an infinite loop

We finally caved and got our youngest kid a phone. Is 2 years too young?

Whether or not you agree with his policies (which I largely do!), it's clear from every second of every communication he's put out, in every medium, that he genuinely loves NYC and wants to make it the best city it can be. He doesn't have ulterior motives: that's his laser focus.

Impressed that this box of Cheez-It’s have a 900 year shelf life.

It doesn't matter if they are ever coming for you. It was always ever already too much that they were coming for anyone.

Yes. The litmus test has to be "all people are people, and equal to me and you." This includes Palestinian people and trans people: there is only one answer: *yes.* All counterarguments are saying in effect "no, they're not people, and they are not equal to me and you." Nonstarter.

Every time I hang out in Philly I ask myself “why did I ever leave?” Oh, that’s right! Family & the love of my hometown and home state. But mannnn. Love this city!

A kind invitation by the Cell Biology Department of @charlesuni.cuni.cz brought Israeli scientist stranded in Prague after the #TCTeAC to do what we love best - participate in exciting scientific discussions!

I am once again pitching my romantic comedy: - two academics start dating - discover they are each other's terrible reviewer - hijinks ensue Working title: Love is Double-Blind

A blutorial on my latest manuscript, which will appear as a Hypothesis article in Journal of Cell Science (no embargo requested as far as I am aware). If you are interested in mitosis/meiosis/kinetochores/evolution/deep phylogeny, please read it (1/n)

1st time in Prague, for #tcteac. I’ve had kolaches & bbq in Texas w @laurelmack.bsky.social, so it’s fun to see their gastronomic ancestors in their native habitat. www.kantyna.ambi.cz is in a marble hall, but the smoky, meaty connection to TX bbq is as clear as the meal was delicious!

Day 2 of #tcteac was wonderful. Friendliness, camaraderie, interesting science in beautiful spots, again ending with cozy dinner and drinks, this time on an old castle hill with great views. Bring on Day 3 in the woods!

There is nothing like a gold glass of Czech Pilsner to end an awesome day of science #TCTEAC

Love 💕 to see some #chemicalbiology #bioorthogonal chemistry 🧪 and #unnaturalAA incorporation enabling beautiful #biology here at #tcteac #photography #art

The Woodstock of biology 2 + Nightscience is trending (alongside some other topic) #theconferencetoendallconferences #TCTeAC

There is a lot of hidden important work behind the meeting without which it would not happen and those people do not have a name and face like us on the stage. They will be thanked all namely.

Amazing first day at #tcteac here in Prague. Had some great conversations with diverse scientists all united by our love of biology and curiosity. Thanks to @svobodalab.bsky.social @itaiyanai.bsky.social @paveltomancak.bsky.social @odedrechavi.bsky.social and all the rest of the organizers.

hey @svobodalab.bsky.social , as far as you know, anyone on this cool paper coming to WoodstockBio? Would love to hear more about it or meet them in person! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Thanks, Merlin!

We had beautiful, crisp, sunny weather Monday and Tuesday. Today, with thousands of grads and their families on campus, we have cold wind and rain. Feels… symbolic.

So the Knicks have a 41 point lead going into the 4th quarter. No way they can lose, right?

Beautiful!

It’s out! The evolutionary origins of yeast point centromeres uncovered! “Ancient co-option of LTR retrotransposons as yeast centromeres” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Good news! @laurelmack.bsky.social is currently visiting MCR and the Sandstone Nodule Shaped Like A Duck is still on display!

Short read sequencing

Check out our short review of bacterial cancer therapy! Alex, Rosa, Lior and I tried to list and categorize every paper, clinical trial and company working on engineering bacteria to treat cancer. We found over 500 papers, 64 clinical trials, and 24 companies. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

it happened before there it could happen again here

Hi @drewtoothpaste.bsky.social at one point you had a tweet or cartoon with the name Cyberjaxon - what was that?

This is beautiful

Now online! Microtubules in Asgard archaea

I did something exciting today with my two amazing genetics dept colleagues @schindlerlab.bsky.social and @matiset.bsky.social. We joined a round table discussion on science, innovation and industry with NJ Senator Andy Kim @kim.senate.gov. We have some new strategies to #standupforscience2025! 💪🧪

Maybe the real weapons of mass destruction were the despots we empowered along the way

One problem with the idea of reserving due process for law-abiding people is that due process is how we figure out which people are law-abiding.

After a lot of work, we are finally able to share this project about the cell cycle in Marchantia from the Haseloff lab. If you want to find out how cell division is controlled, you can’t miss out this one… #PlantScience #Synbio #EvoDevo www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
