Annelise (@basicbiologist23.bsky.social) is one of the coolest scientists I know and her research totally reflects that. Highest vertebrate blood lead level ever recorded?!?!?! And her paper here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

To promote the collection, I’ve launched a designer clothing line where synthetic biology meets aesthetics.

I will give out 100 free limited edition shirts to the first who retweet and order with their handle in the name! Available here → nickdesnoyer.com 🧵(6/7)

Reflecting on two weeks of teaching a pre-college STEM course with my labmate Catherine… wow what an opportunity! We got to develop our own course materials from scratch and designed a lesson plan around plant evolution and adaptation. It was hard work but also a really fun experience!!

Super excited to see the published Editorial for our Special Issue on Ecology of Gene Expression. We began working on this in 2023, and we have some excellent papers to share (1)

NASA is more than rockets and moonwalks. NASA is behind much of our everyday technology. From space discovery, to Air Jordans, to CAT scans, NASA has played a role. We get it all on less than a penny of every federal dollar. Now their science may be gutted by 50%.

Almost all Nobel Prizes are awarded for work that is exploratory, or absolutely basic science with no obvious commercial or medical benefit.

You cannot predict where advancements come from, so you have to invest in science and scientists.

Targeted (corporate) science investment will never do this.
Reminder: Nobel-prize winning PCR (1983), used in basically all genetic tech today, was only possible because of extremophile bacterium discovered in 1964 in Yellowstone funded by a small ~$80k NSF grant with no obvious application at the time. #science 🧪

🏳️‍🌈HAPPY PRIDE MONTH🏳️‍⚧️
This year I’m extra grateful for the people who’ve made space for diversity in STEM (and everywhere else) where institutions have folded. For the mentors, friends, and colleagues who choose inclusion every day, without anyone telling them to. Y’all are the real ones. #HappyPride

This made me tear up. The fear is real, especially now. Showing support is life-saving. This #Pride think about adding something to your wardrobe or workplace to show allyship. I am not trans, but I wear a 🏳️‍⚧️ pin. Even within the queer community we need to show allyship for those more marginalized.
For noen kan et lite regnbueflagg bety at vi føler oss tryggere. Man ser flagget og tenker; « her kan jeg passe inn»
En enkel måte å vite at jeg også blir satt pris på.

Veldig fin video

pride is next week

pride wasn't brought to you by delta air lines, microsoft, coca-cola or even the democratic party. it was brought to you by trans women throwing bricks at cops and lesbians taking care of gay men dying of AIDS during reagan.

do not forget where we came from. now more than ever.
