Seattle-based scientist studying the molecular biology of hemostasis, also I take photos and run marathons. Not vengeful but can hold a grudge.
All opinions are my own, etc.
Pinned
Intros: Research scientist/lab lead for Jill Johnsen’s lab at U. of Washington. We study inherited bleeding disorders and modifiers of hemostasis using NGS (long & short read, targeted and WGS) and in vitro assays. My main role is building the molecular and biochemical tools to do our research. 🧪🧬🩸

today is the first time since 1988 that the united states is not observing world AIDS day

in fact, per STAT, the state department has forbidden federal employees AND GRANTEES to not utilize any funding to promote or commemorate this day

I don't think I've ever talked on Bluesky about why I hate the Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl.

Don't read any further unless you're prepared for uncomfortable truths about the "Nicest Guy in Rock", and his very substantial body count & subsequent cover-up.

6 years today the first COVID case was identified in a man in Wuhan marking the beginning of a global pandemic that changed the world. We are way less prepared today to face another pandemic than we were back then. This fact makes me sad.

This is not a radical or original thought. It's doctrine, famously enunciated by Justice Brandeis (democracy or concentrated wealth, but not both), but also embodied in mid-century policy. The 91% top marginal tax rate of the Eisenhower admin was more a ceiling on wealth than a revenue source.

Think about how if you ask normal people what makes them mad, they respond with verbs. People doing things. Getting cut off in traffic, dropping their pizza, people who fart in public, etc.

When you ask Republicans they always respond with nouns: women. Immigrants. Pronouns. Teachers.

I am so ready for Me Too, Chapter Two
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

Extortion worked. Northwestern had not been able to draw down money on grants since April. Hemorrhaging money.

But the likely long-term consequences for NU and other schools is clear.

BREAKING: Northwestern University has agreed to pay the U.S. Treasury $75 million, over the course of three years as part of an agreement with the federal government to restore funding and end investigations into the university

"Holy shit, look at me, I'm doing something that just a year or so ago I found really hard and stressful and confusing, but it's second nature now."

Generative AI deliberately removes this, entirely, from learning.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:

Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.

If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.

Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Great thread and an excellent case for why we need federally-funded basic science research, and shouldn’t rely on pharma to drive innovation
#scisky
Through the 90s and into the 00s all the major drug companies closed their natural product discovery teams down. I don't anticipate they'll race to start this up again. But keep your eye open for more of this coming from academia and small startups. (Fin)
