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

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.

USDA grant submitted in September 2025, we will know if recommended for funding in June 2026. This is simply unhealthy.

Things went shit the day after David Bowie’s death.

Thanks. Very sorry to hear that. Such a shitshow nowadays.

What I have been seeing is that young PIs fail at being just professional. We train individuals to be masters in their field; we don't teach them how to behave with their peers, to meet a deadline, or to properly answer an email.

Honestly: last two months have been a series of 'WTF?!?'.

On day 1 after my retirement due date, I will be chilling on a Mexican beach with a mojito in hand.

“As 2025 comes to a close…”, followed by 100% guaranteed AI bullshit. Totally losing interest in “content”.

Grad students + PI at the annual KUCC Research Week.

oh wow.

Our lab was awarded both a Tina's Wish Team Science Award (with Godwin, Soper, and Whelan labs at KUMC-KU) and the inaugural KUCC Obesity, Metabolic Health, and Cancer Pilot project. Every penny counts. :-)

I have a strong feeling that science is being killed day by day by this. Oligarchs should keep their hands off science.

So, it looks like we're gonna get some money to build CRISPR-Cas13 miRNA sensors for cancer detection...any other suggestions/new approaches other than SHERLOCK? #crispr #newPI

Uhhh...😑

NIH is chaos. USDA is chaos. It looks like we put all the effort into wrapping a grant in proper shape and form, and now they've extended the deadlines.

Three years ago I was farming in Southern Italy to replace dad who had a terrible accident. Social media made me remember this picture: a detail in my dad’s workers van. It’s a tough life.

Jeff Tweedy warming our hearts yesterday evening.

You have a dozen active grants, half of them the size of an R01. You have committed 100% of your effort to them. Your >300k damn salary is covered. Is it even ethical to ask for more $$? At what point this becomes just a greedy game?

This is something I have often wondered about - how DNA damage alters genome architecture and if it is heritable across the cell cycle even after repair?
Well here is a nice study addressing this fundamental question 👇👇👇😍
