finally someone said it. TRT is the real pipeline. from low T to low empathy to high nationalism.

@amandalsmythers.bsky.social and the committee have brought together great speakers to educate and give tools around negotiation and relationship dynamics in your career.

The ECR committee

The Early Career Researcher day is in full swing today at #USHUPO - we are discussing “Managing Uncomfortable Conversations & Relationships in the Workplace”.

No problem, at least you watched it. Does it resonate?

I saw this at a conference for blood-based diagnostics and was blown away.

A forest cathedral near Wailuku River State Park

Nature is amazing, over the weekend I was able to spend time admiring this beautiful place. To me this is the type of cathedral Gaudí was inspired to mimic in his works.

Thank you 🙏🏼

Great starter packs for folks in the #AgingResearch world

Confronting risks of mirror life Broad discussion is needed to chart a path forward.

Sharing here a new commentary in Science Policy Forum that provides new analysis on risks related to the potential future creation of mirror bacteria — synthetic organisms in which all molecules have reversed chirality (i.e. are ‘mirrored’). 1/x

Confronting risks of mirror life Broad discussion is needed to chart a path forward.

With today's report outlining risks on mirror life www.science.org/doi/full/10.... many have asked:

Could mirror life survive in the wild?

Yes. While mirror life in the wild could have some significant disadvantages (like finding food it can digest), they do not appear to be insurmountable: 🧵

Stop emissions, stop warming: A climate reality check Why future warming isn't as "locked in" as you might think

On The Climate Brink: Stop emissions, stop warming: A climate reality check

This is a crucial point because it determines how much warming is already "locked in" and effectively unavoidable.

The answer is very little warming is locked in.

Also, this is our 100th post!

Embryonic Signatures of Intergenerational Inheritance across Paternal Environments and Genetic Backgrounds The paternal preconception environment has been implicated as a modulator of phenotypic traits and disease risk in F1 offspring. However, the prevalence and mechanisms of such intergenerational epigen...

📢 Preprint! How does the environment of a father before conception influence offspring?

Even more, how do paternal genetics & ages interact with exposures to affect F1 outcome?

We tested this systematically, with intriguing findings & some cautionary tales🧵...

This is so cool! Are you planning to partner out the platform for translational programs?

Another orchid.

I’m loving all of the orchids I have been finding around the island. Here are two more!

Doesn’t look like Olink and Somascan correlate well at all.

A hard spin will definitely still contain EVs. It could be a cleavage product as you suggested earlier or apoptosis.

The unofficial FeMS starter pack (until they join us on Bluesky :) anyway. If you're a woman working with a mass spectrometer please ask to be added! All women are welcome!

@ucdproteomics.bsky.social the link should contain instructions on video submissions. Would love to see yours screened there!

The video competition is a fun way to get creative and share your science! Looking forward to any and all video submissions for the 2025 #USHUPO conference in Philadelphia.

Here are some more #orchids I found in the garden this week. Happy Friday!

It so cute! Your player character has so much more personality than the last time I saw them!

I worked with FFPE breast tissue from breast cancer patients during my postdoc @buckinstitute.bsky.social and found a lot of great biology underlying the different subtypes of breast cancer. This allowed us to differentiate the subtypes on a molecular level.

Now it’s Fall 2024 and 🦋 is growing faster than ever!

I’ve been having a lot of fun #gardening and tending to the land lately, here’s one of the orchids I spotted today.
