Glass measuring cup with 8 ounces of water.
I am way too excited about not having to wash the measuring cup that only had boiling water in it.

I found a church cookbook at the Brighton Library book sale this weekend. You know that those church cookbooks have real recipes that are usually the favorites of the people who submit them. I scanned this book for recipes compatible with a kosher kitchen. Pirate Stew did not disappoint!

It’s just a few days until our Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk with Team Judy. Private research dollars like this will help fund important cancer research that has been decimated by federal cuts to the NIH, the NSF and other federal agencies.

This year, I’m joining Mark Zaretsky on the Making Strides for Breast Cancer Walk with Team Judy. Mark’s late wife (my cousin) Judy died over 20 years ago. We will walk together to honor her memory and raise funds to fight the disease that cut her life short.

Cordless microscope inside of a CO2 incubator
Y79 retinoblastoma cells viewed using the cordless microscope inside the incubator
Nerd alert! We just bought an extremely cool cordless microscope that we can use to image our retinoblastoma cells while they’re growing in the incubator. It can capture still images, videos and time-lapse. This is a game-changer. #microscope

It is with great sadness that I report on the sudden death of Duke the gerbil. This photo of Duke was just taken August 27th when he appeared bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Luke is understandably distraught. Burial will be tomorrow.

VACCINES FOR ALL: Gov. Kathy Hochul is set to sign an executive order allowing pharmacists to prescribe and administer Covid-19 vaccines to New Yorkers who request them, according to plans shared exclusively with Playbook. The Democrat’s executive order will mirror actions taken by other blue state governors this week to protect access to the latest Covid vaccine. The Food and Drug Administration has only granted limited approval of the jab for older adults and individuals considered to be high-risk. That’s prompted Democratic leaders to create their own vaccine guidance and explore ways they can legally protect access to the shot for everyone. “By signing this EO, Governor Hochul is making it clear that when Washington Republicans play politics with public health, New Yorkers will still be able to make their own health care decisions and get the care they need from trusted providers in their community,” Hochul spokesperson Kara Cumoletti said in a statement to POLITICO. This morning, POLITICO Pro reported that the Hochul administration is reviewing potential solutions to the Trump administration’s efforts to restrict vaccine access. However, a long-term fix may require legislative changes by lawmakers either through a special session, or when they return to the state Capitol in January. “This temporary order will ensure seamless access while the Governor works with the Legislature on a long-term solution to safeguard preventive care and vaccines,” Cumoletti added. — Katelyn Cordero

Ahh, yes, that looks familiar. Let’s see… my lab moved from ROC to BUF in 2001. While in BUF, we moved to another building in 2009, a bigger lab in 2019, flooded out to a temp lab in 2022, and moved to our present location in 2023. Each time, it was very disruptive. I’m hoping no more moves!

Argente gold gerbil with red eyes.
Luke the gerbil has glowing red eyes because he was born with the pink-eyed dilution gene (pp) that removes nearly all of the black pigment from his eyes. Isn’t he a cutie?

LET THIS SINK IN: The U.S. just bombed Iran. Cities are on high alert.
And Trump put a 22-year-old ex-gardener and grocery clerk—Thomas C. Fugate—in charge of domestic terror prevention.
He graduated last year. This is who’s supposed to keep us safe.
