Federal judge orders Trump to restore $500 million in frozen UCLA medical research grants A San Francisco-based federal judge on Monday ordered the Trump administration to restore all National Institutes of Health grants to UCLA, roughly $500 million, that the government suspended in July.

I can’t sit still long enough for gel removal 😝

You might be able to do regular polish stamping over gel, which should be more forgiving for mistakes. You can also do nail art with acrylic paints which you can scrape away with a toothpick if you mess up. Then top coat with a light hand.

There’s a lot of tough things happening right now, but can we just take a second to highlight the pure joy that comes with cool data or a good science discussion?

Taking that small win home with me today.

Do you ever wear normal polish? Or always gel? My weekend reset usually includes a regular polish mani - Holo Taco holds up well for me on the lab, and their top coat dries fast enough that I can do my nails before bed. Nail stamping is another option for fun designs.

I’m currently in LA :)

Your name was such an interesting fun fact during the scicomm stream you did with the SciAnts - it was awesome to see you there and hear you chat about science in a casual format!

Whoa! What an epic amount of work! This is going to take multiple rounds of reading to digest. Congratulations!

I like how this is organized. How do you think this could be applied to a whole lab of people?

I was hopping on here to make my own thread to this degree, but the first post on my feed was this excellent one! Have a read. It’s excellent!

We set aside 20min in class for a Q&A on funding a lab, federal funding, IDCs, and ongoing policy shifts. Was definitely not enough time. Such great and insightful questions

Probably could have taken the whole class

Anyway. 10/10 would recommend

Yes, I think for most of today. Very frustrating and it’s making me nervous.

See you there!

Some good news: @hannahhrncir.bsky.social ‘s primary PhD paper is finally online! This study lays the groundwork for a lot of technical and conceptual things the lab is currently working on, including light sheet microscopy for imaging entire biliary trees in mouse liver: rdcu.be/d90Br 1/4

Hooray! Congratulations! Can’t wait to read them!

Hi friends - we’re still safe at home from the fires here in Los Angeles as of Thursday morning. I hope the rest of you are safe as well!

I’d like to be added here! I’ve been hoping to find a list like this! Thanks for curating it!

Hello everyone! Let's connect!

I use genome editing to study sex differences in liver lipid #metabolism, intestinal lipid handling, and cardiometabolic disease.

In the nonscience world, you can find me reading, baking treats, and drinking coffee.

The non-science thing I learned this year was espresso. This is now my favorite way to make coffee, but came with a huge learning curve. Latte art is difficult but makes me look forward to my latte. Espresso tonics with some citrus juice are also lovely.

Update - funded 😍

I’ve written a few small grants, but tonight is the first time I’ve finished one independently. I can actually look at it and think, “Yeah, I did that!”

Even if I’m not 100% happy with it, it is progress!

A photo of someone’s hand holding an iced coffee drink in front of an espresso machine. The coffee has dark, milky, and foamy layers.

I think because of science, I tend to enjoy hobbies that are very protocol-driven. I also really love espresso and espresso drinks. Here’s my first shaken espresso on my new setup - I find iced drinks more forgiving if I don’t have the grind quite right!

Hi friends! It's time to start building my network here!

I'm a postdoctoral scholar at UCLA. I study lipids and atherosclerosis using AAV and genome editing in the liver.

I love chatting science and sometimes share what I'm up to - I'd love to connect!
