They may be more common now, but yours is definitely one of the most original (and functional too!). One might say the Frank Lloyd Wright of the ion channel world

Totally makes sense, especially with infection present. Definitely made my pain worse but helped temporarily with fatigue. Anyway her tutorials are super helpful. Also really appreciate the work you and many others are doing for this terrible disease. We are so grateful πŸ™πŸ½

Have you met @shematologist.medsky.social? She is amazing and might be able to help. For me it was months of sublingual B12 and 2 IV iron infusions (supplements did not work), but also had a Fishbane reaction that sent me to the ER (maybe due to MCAS?). Hope you find relief!

Instructions for Having a Soul
 
Take it out in the rain sometimes.
It has vast, invisible wings that gather dirt
and need rinsing.
When it tries to kill you
that is because you've forgotten
to let it look into someone's eyes
for longer than a minute.
It needs that the way a bee needs nectar
in the early morning dew.
Every so often, take it on a journey.
Let it read long, hard books
and let it stare into the depths of the sea.
Yes, you can give it chips and whiskey
but from time to time let it kneel
in a place that is holy
like the simple cathedral of the willows.
All it wants is to live, to keep becoming.
Nourish it, and it puts down roots, it opens.
But starve it, and the mind, the flesh is empty;
the world breaks down; symphonies go unwritten;
the rockets fall; the children die
in flames.
Listen. It is not too late
to wake it. Say the names
of the wild, the forgotten things:
bluebird, red wolf, robin; violet, child, clover.
You cannot save the world but you can open
the window for the trapped wren in the cellar.
Read a book to a blind man, to your father.
Tell a child you do believe her anger.
Make your life the first life that you save.
 
β€”Joseph Fasano

Minor thing, but my main thesis publication (TRUPATH) has now surpassed all of my other publications in terms of citation count. Humbled at the number of people who read it and (hopefully) found it useful.

We used it (among other really useful open source tools) as part of a deorphanization study and are about to submit the paper. Thank you for such a great resource!

Trump's Interior Dept leaders are directing staff to submit a list of accomplishments to this new email address:

Sorry for you too. Sending good vibes your way - hope you get it. I’m afraid for everyone who has to shut down their labs due to this insanity.

Revised and Extended: What's Happening Inside the NIH and NSF

I’ve unfortunately needed to add more material to my post from yesterday. The re-election of Donald Trump is looking like the biggest act of American self-destruction since the Civil War.

Same link, new title and some updates.

I joined 75+ @nobelprize.bsky.social laureates urging US Senators to oppose RFK Jr.'s confirmation as DHHS Secretary. If you’re in a state with GOP senators, PLEASE reach out to them! I’d deeply appreciate it if you amplified this post! πŸ™

Perhaps, a re-introduction is in order.
