Been embroidering a bunch and now I’m moving into science themed projects! I made sure to include @KingOfPathogens favorite critter…

Immunology for the win again! Congratulations!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Legend David Baltimore died yesterday. He understood the way things should work: "the real contribution of @MIT is that it doesn't take itself too seriously. It takes ideas seriously, but the people are relatively informal. They are not self-aggrandizing the way academics can be.

My resignation letter from CDC. Dear Dr. Houry, I am writing to formally resign from my position as Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), effective August 28, 2025, close of business.

Now economists know how scientists felt when he said “inject bleach”

There are days in life that shake you. I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at @Columbia & academic career... 1/🧵

Today we report that an engineered skin bacterium, swabbed gently on the head of a mouse, can unleash a potent antibody response against a pathogen. Could lead to topical vaccines that are applied in a cream. @DjenetBousbaine led the charge... @Nature 1/55

Reviewer One: "This is strong, but you need to extend the case study" Reviewer Three: "Solid argument, but you need to better clarify the implications" Reviewer Two:

How is this not trending right now??? These are images of newly discovered trilobite fossils preserved in fine pyroclastic ash at the Lemdad Valley of Morocco! They are never-before-seen details on the soft tissues normally not preserved in trilobites.

Congratulations to friend and labmate @AllynBrittney for defending her @IGGPenn thesis yesterday! An incredible amount of work elucidating the mechanisms by which the Tcrb locus folds to facilitate TCRb gene assembly 🥳🥳🥳

Not science themed but I really like the way this turned out 🌵

Things that Darwin hated, a 🧵 To Charles Lyell, 1st Oct 1861 But I am very poorly today & very stupid & hate everybody & everything. One lives only to make blunders.— I am going to write a little Book for Murray on orchids & today I hate them worse than everything

Its out !!! 🥳 Very proud to announce that my PhD work is now published in Nature communication: https://t.co/UsC9lgAwXC We developed #iUExM, an optimized iterative expansion protocol allowing 16 to 26 fold homogeneous expansion together with specific bright labelling !

Did you ever wonder why our marrow is located inside of our *bones*, #MedTwitter? There’s no a priori anatomical reason it should be sited there. Blood cells could form in our spleens & livers, as they do during our fetal lives; or elsewhere, as in some animals. Let’s discuss! /1

Nature research paper: Targeting of intracellular oncoproteins with peptide-centric CARs

We are excited to share our new work @CellCellPress, led by Andie Wong, in collaboration with the groups of Ben Abramoff, Sara Cherry, and @ThaissLab, uncovering a multi-organ pathway with important implications for the pathogenesis of #LongCOVID. (1/10) https://t.co/2p5QWoIBdu
