I am heartbroken to share that Dr. Charles Wingo has passed away. Charles was a brilliant physiologist, an extraordinary nephrologist, and an absolutely amazing mentor. His kindness, passion for science, and his devotion to his family are truly inspiring.

This is a statement from two of the people who wrote Florida's new education standards on slavery. In it they give several names of people to exemplify slaves who learned skills they applied later in life. Let's go through the supposed truth of this list one by one.
Want the truth on Florida’s African American History Standards? See statement below from experts who crafted them. “Any attempt to reduce slaves to just victims of oppression fails to recognize their strength, courage and resiliency during a difficult time in American history.”

Brain drain. This is a huge loss for FL. Is anyone counting? The number of FL faculty leaving academia and/or the state of FL is staggering.

I’ve finally reached the age of having kids that I can read my book while they’re at the playground.

Officially registered my youngest child for kindergarten (got all the paperwork in at last). But what’s really important is finding the person who snuck in here and started chopping onions.

The notion of a lab as a “family” is toxic. I think of my lab as a punk band, where I’m the grizzled old manager who goes around picking up bar tabs, cleaning up broken glass and vomit, and lying to the police

I can tell when my brain has stopped braining. I just read a sentence as “The administrators understand the administration.” That… that was not what that sentence said.

It’s 6:30pm and I’m trying to make dinner. You’re asking too many questions. Go ask your dad if he got the new smoke alarm batteries.

To mix my metaphors: Florida is on fire and, ✨at best✨, DeSantis et al are rearranging the deck chairs with this fight with Disney.

When I gave a guest lecture on site directed mutagenesis for a genetics course (~2009-2015?), I used CF as an example of a disease caused by a mutation that had no cure. So, this is amazing news!

This Florida-born woman is thoroughly amazed by the snow in Nebraska! I’m super excited to go back out in it this morning to talk with folks at UNL (no sarcasm—this is amazing!).
