I NEED to tell you the story of Tae Heung “William” Kim.
He's a graduate student at Texas A&M where he's working on a vaccine for Lyme disease.
He's a *legal permanent resident* of the United States.
And he's been in ICE detention for 12 days & counting, transferred Tuesday to South Texas.

This was a fun little paper with Rachel Bainbridge where we discovered that Xenopus laevis, a model organism in fertilization research, lacks the gene for PLCZ1, an enzyme previously thought to be essential for fertilization. 🧪

I competed in a climbing competition. I didn't do well (143rd place) but I *did* do better than expected. Also, it was a lot of fun!
Let's keep up with tradition.
Last year I asked everyone to give me something they did this year that they are proud of.

Let's end the year on the positive note and celebrate each other!

🧪 Question for BlueSky science community.
For false discovery analysis with gene expression data, I would use q-values (Storey-Tibshirani) to control for the large number of false positives derived from multiple hypothesis testing. But let's say you have copy number variation data?
