Little-known fact: Checking the status of a submitted manuscript multiple times a day does not cause it to more rapidly move along the internal journal pipeline...

There comes a moment in your life when you realize that it's been forever since someone carded you at a bar or liquor store. That is a sad moment indeed ... 😢

It's a strange and vexing feeling to read and score grants for an upcoming NIH study section this month. I have no idea if the study section will even take place, but I do know that I owe each applicant a careful assessment...

How is it that Joan Steitz hasn't been awarded a Nobel?

Can you imagine what the mitotic spindle looks like?!? I wonder if they develop somatic aneupolidies in the course of just normal development.

Actually, if he had, perhaps his conclusion would have been that pretty much no trait shows Mendelian linkage with any other trait! 😜

227 autosomes! 😱💀 One can only be grateful that Thomas Hunt Morgan didn't use the Atlas blue butterfly as his model organism...

WAIT there's actually a bacterial culture medium called TERRIFIC BROTH?!? I thought it was just a joke that members in my lab were making... 😵‍💫

Any academic folks on H1B visas (even with stamps in passports) please get legal advice from your University attorneys before leaving the US.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

A random bit of history (for modern analogies). Lysenko set back genetics in USSR by ~50 years. Hundreds of geneticists imprisoned or died. Cybernetics was also named "reactionary pseudoscience", and about to undergo similar fate, but got lucky that this started close to the end of the Stalin era.

Excited to share our latest work on blood aging! To find out why the blood system changes as people age, we started at the source: hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) #hemesky 🩸🧬 doi.org/10.1101/2025... 🧵 1/5

Beautiful cover design!
