Don't be shy to take on a little two-week side project. These five months will be the most precious three years of your academic journey.

Had a fabulous day hosted by @annikabarber.bsky.social and talking science with all her wonderful colleagues that was made better by news of paper acceptance! Something tells me I might actually sleep well tonight.

Senior professors - if you want to help your junior colleagues in these times, I am begging you, review our papers. I have done 25 manuscript reviews in the last 6 years. But my own manuscript is stalled out waiting for reviewers. Relatedly, I won't be doing any more reviews until tenure. 🧪

Thanks @annikabarber.bsky.social for bringing your Assistant with you to meet me today! He did a superb job of supervising my work in your office.

Can't wait!!!

#Artemis is circling the Moon right now. And later this week, our team's experiment launches to the #ISS. Tiny worms. Defined gut microbiomes. Here's why the two are connected. 🧵

I think Neuro could use a PLoS Neuro journal. OA, publishing rigorous work across diverse systems using genetic/molecular to systems/computational/cognitive approaches.

Have lobbied for this as a @plosbiology.org Adv Board member but it hasn't happened so far. Thoughts?

I am so sorry for your loss, Becky.

So excited to find Select at the liquor store in Houston as we are entering spritz season!

I am reviewing a simply amazing paper from a relatively young US-based lab, which is in danger of shutting its doors later this year. My emotions are all over the place.

The fact that this does not uniquely identify the lab I’m referring to just deepens the tragedy of this moment in US science.

Some shit is about to go down with NIH study sections, friends. Keep your eyes peeled for change that may affect your grant submissions.

Monitoring gene expression in the brain with a simple blood test?

In collaboration with @jerzyszablowski.bsky.social & his lab we figured out how to do it nonhuman primates using noninvasive neuroengineering of synthetic serum markers.

Hell yes!! Congratulations - this is so cool!

Me too!!! So excited that this is going to work out for myself and a student!

Congrats Kyle and Team!

just want to state for the record that I am incredibly proud of the althletes representing the USA that are using their platforms to speak out about what is happening here.

Very much worth 3 min of your day.

Today called for comfort food. Pinto beans cooked in the leftover deliciousness from a last batch of carnitas + jalapeno cheddar cornbread + greens did the trick.

We're hiring! The Hoffman lab at Yale is recruiting for Post-Doctoral Associate and Post-Graduate Associate positions available immediately. Join us! www.hoffmanlab.net/jobs #zebrafish #zebrafishjobs

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

As a someone with a 33 year NIH-funded lab whose grant is supposed to be reviewed this week, shut NIH down if that is what's needed to end ICE terrorism. Innocent lives are more important 🧪

Good morning #acnp2026! Off to a beautiful start and looking forward to a week of excellent science!

Discovered these serving size suggestions while rummaging in some parental cabinets. I refuse to adhere to the guidelines of the pasta patriarchy.

Elixr was always on my list when I would go down for a Philly visit during my postdoc. Enjoy!

Definitely Mediterranean Diet approved

Thanks! Another one not far behind I hope. But that just jinxed it I am sure.

P.S. Both Katie and Emily are so fantastic and are thinking about next steps. Anyone would be lucky to have them as postdocs! I am so fortunate to have a lab full of fabulous trainees - they are a real bright light during these difficult times for science.

INS-17, an insulin-receptor ligand, confers specificity in adult IIS-regulated phenotypes in C. elegans Insulin/IGF growth factor (IGF) signaling (IIS) is a pleiotropic signaling pathway that functions across tissues to coordinate phenotypic changes in response to nutrient status. Thus, the ubiquity of ...

If you want to know more - as I hope you do, here is the link! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

In studying INS-17 in great detail, Emily made clever use of a new technique we worked on with @jsrinivasanwpi.bsky.social to manipulate neuropeptides by feeding, along with a bunch of other fun genetics to understand why INS-17 was special, and why the worms might need it in the first place.
