First day at University of Pittsburgh and I have a window!

Thank you so much for mentoring me over all these years!

Thank you!

Thank you! Sad to leave Utah but excited for the next step.

I start as an Assistant Professor at University of Pittsburgh next month.

View from the 5th floor walkway of the Moran looking west toward downtown Salt Lake City.

From 10 years ago as a grad student with @robertmarc.bsky.social to my last day at the U of Utah today. It’s surreal to look out over the valley one last time. On to the next adventure!

If we need to do a computational modeling aim of all results from animals... How? There really aren't enough people with biomedical system modeling expertise to support that for every single grant.

Congratulations!!!

Soooo many boxes

Many of the changed HHS policies are purported to be based on science and ensuring American tax dollars are being directed to improve American health. I would push on how he is defining scientific expertise. Most of his "theories" are well discredited. Vaccines save lives.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Most of the stuff he's listing as examples of "do your own research" also have federal safety orgs that comprehensively test these things. I didn't attempt to break a bunch of carseats, I went and looked at the safety ratings established by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Thanks!

Hey #ARVO2025, interested in transcriptional regulation affecting amacrine cell maintenance and fate? Come hear @emilyrnett.bsky.social’s talk, 4:15PM today (Sunday) in Ballroom B

With juvenile cataracts they come on with a ton of inflammation. So we took him to the vet thinking he’d gotten dirt in his eye or scratched his cornea playing with another dog. Once we got eye drops in there to help I spotted the white lens. We took him to a doc eye specialist who diagnosed.

He’s pretty well healed at this point. The goggles are to keep high UV and debris out of the eye. So he’ll probably wear them most of his life when it’s particularly bright or windy.

Finn had a lens replacement last summer (juvenile cataract) and will happily play in his goggles in the snow. It’s adorable.

It would probably be a more effective exercise if my institution didn't have the sender of all fake phishing attempts named "scammander phisher"

I haven't seen anything official. Just unconfirmed rumors in the comment section of the Trib.

I think we're about to find out how good ChatGPT is at COBOL conversions.

3-year-olds are a trip with their complete disregard for facts. Mine regularly tells me he calls numbers letters because "I can call things whatever I want". I mean, true. But no one will know what you're talking about.

Already emailed. Sorry, didn't cc

It was continuous for 2 hours yesterday. It has begun again today... I have pinpointed the faucet involved.
