This amazing scientific advance may one day lead to either more effective treatments or dare I say perhaps a cure.
This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research.

Just walked by a colleague's classroom after my class finished and he was talking about Elvis, getting blank stares and so he had to ask "Does anyone know who Elvis Presley is?"
It's rough out here on these teaching streets.
I spent my Monday replying to student emails with my “teaching assistant hat” on. It still feels a little surreal that students now come to *me* with their questions and ideas 🤯🥹

Happy International Women’s Day. Forward.

Well WW3 did start in 2026 in Star Trek.
"The things that will DESTROY US are:
POLITICS WITHOUT PRINCIPLES;
PLEASURE WITHOUT CONSCIENCE;
WEALTH WITHOUT WORK;
knowledge without character;
BUSINESS WITHOUT MORALITY;
SCIENCE WITHOUT HUMANITY;
and worship without sacrifice."
~ Mahatma Gandhi
I don't want to be politically engaged. I want to read books and watch Star Trek. Unfortunately, the world.
Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers.
The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇
Finished 2 mock physio school interviews with this year’s mentees. I'm reminded of how important mentorship is in getting more women into a historically male-dominated profession. I’m so proud of them for getting this far and have my fingers crossed for their acceptance 🤞🏼👩🏻🔬

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes!
"Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

Not at all surprised to learn that Bad Bunny has a historical adviser. His halftime show was a reminder that our history and culture are deeply intertwined with the rest of the western hemisphere. We should think of his performance as part of #America250. #SuperBowl

The billboard behind Bad Bunny during this halftime performance reads: "The only thing more powerful than hate is love." #SuperBowl
