I'm pleased to share this work now published in @PLOSBiology! Since our preprint, we've uncovered exciting new links connecting CCDC66 to actin, vesicular trafficking, and Wnt signaling, and revealed how these contribute to CCDC66's ciliary functions. See link below!
New preprint alert! We've uncovered the role of the microtubule-associated protein Ccdc66 in maintaining the stability and disassembly of the primary cilium. Our findings reveal how Ccdc66 depletion leads to unstable cilia and affects signaling pathways like Hedgehog and Wnt.

The new @NIH limit of 6 proposals a year is just another way of limiting funding. Last year that I had to submit 5 in one cycle (4 to NIH). I didn't do it for shits and giggles, it's because I HAD to. And no, I never used AI... just blood, sweat and tears (mostly tears).
R21 ✅ R01 NHLBI ✅ R01 NHLBI #2 ✅ R01 NIDDK ✅ Dept. of Defense ✅ Five (!) grants submitted this June/July cycle. Personal record (NOT a humblebrag). I'm freakin exhausted. The mechanism of funding for science sucks 🤬 Is it too early in the day to start?

NutritionNerd chiming in here to let you all know that switching the sugar source in @CocaCola from High Fructose Corn Syrup to Cane Sugar will result in precisely zero improvement to individual or population-level health in our country. 1/
"I have been speaking to @CocaCola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so. I’d like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them — You’ll see. It’s just better!" –President Donald J. Trump
