Haha

🤣

I’m in Berlin for a few days

Are you going to live tweet the “how to use AI productively in your faculty search and position” session?

You’ll be amazing!!!

Congrats on a wonderful career that shaped so many lives and careers.

All the best for the best adventure.

Tuesday will be my last lecture. It’s been 31 years in academia; 20 at the University of Puget Sound. Spring will be about recreating myself. I want to do many things: small experiments, podcasting, outreach, writing. It’s up to me and there is so much to learn and do. Please think kind thoughts.

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

Bobblehead of Aida de la Cruz

Aida de la Cruz receiving the Hutchison award.

Congratulations to Aida de la Cruz, lab manager in the @harmitmalik.bsky.social Lab, on receiving the Hutchison Award! The award, presented by @fredhutch.org SPAC and named for Dr. Nancy Hutchison, recognizes phenomenal mentorship. It also comes with an awesome personalized bobblehead.

“I’m tired of being constantly confronted by the consequences of my (in)actions.”

As a liver doctor who has treated patients with hepatitis B for decades, this change to the vaccine schedule is a mistake. The hepatitis B vaccine is safe and effective. The birth dose is a recommendation, NOT a mandate. Bill Cassidy on X Before the birth dose was recommended, 20,000 newborns a year were infected with hepatitis B. Now, it’s fewer than 20. Ending the recommendation for newborns makes it more likely the number of cases will begin to increase again. This makes America sicker. Acting CDC Director O’Neill should not sign these new recommendations and instead retain the current, evidence-based approach.

Voted yes on RFK Jr when he could have voted no.

Continues to hedge, when he could act.

There might be easier ways to give someone a golden bribe (ref Tim Cook from Apple)

wtf is a FIFA peace prize? that's like being an NFL laureate in physics

I am very proud that 3 of 7 winners of this award are from our lab: lab manager Aida de la Cruz, postdoc Pravrutha Raman, & staff scientist Janet Young.

We claim partial credit for @mollyohainle.bsky.social (now faculty at UC Berkeley, then a staff scientist in the @memerman.bsky.social lab).

Each year, winners of mentoring awards get a bobblehead made in their honor. This photo has bobbleheads of recipients of this year's faculty mentor awardee (Dr. James Alvarez) and non-faculty mentor awardee (Aida Flor de la Cruz, lab manager, Malik lab)

Very proud of our lab manager, Aida de la Cruz, for winning the Nancy Hutchinson mentoring award (www.fredhutch.org/en/education...) based on her mentees' nominations.

We have reverted to 'the mean'. The lack of empathy is stunning.

I hope we revert to the knowledgeable and empathetic soon.

It us - your awesome @genetics-gsa.bsky.social Board of Directors, staff, & colleagues at the annual Board meeting in PIT. So proud of serving our community of genetics to ‘design’ our next year at G3, Genetics, Worm, Dros, Yeast, Fly, and other meetings.

Not intentionally

But someone still saw it as funny

case in point: this ACIP meeting

If you're an expert in your field but still occasionally feel a tinge of imposter syndrome, just have a look at some of the current ACIP lineup.

A new Director's cut release of the "Titanic" will show rescue boats gun down all the survivors on the lifeboats and in the water.

Check out our cover article by @timjanicke.bsky.social and colleagues about the role of sexual selection in animal speciation. academic.oup.com/evlett/artic.... The beautiful illustration is by Katharina Bóth.

Came here to say this.

Postdoc Portrait: Ruth Isenberg This postdoc explores how gut and oral bacteria wage microscopic battles that shape infection and health.

I am so very proud of @ruthlessruth15.bsky.social. I hope that @univpugetsound.bsky.social can spread the word about the kinds of scientist-scholars that the University of Puget Sound produces.

The worst is when they don't even laugh at your planned jokes...

Reviewer is anonymous but spouse is not....

"You really should have been a stand-up comedian."

Things you never want to hear from a spouse.

Or the reviewer of your grant.
