Grant submitted! A chai latte break and then onto the pile of stuff that was put on hold and then onto the next grant. Am excited about the science I just wrote about. Hopefully reviewers are too.

My colleague unfortunately did the experiment we've all worried about. Ever wonder what happens when you drop your cell phone in the liquid nitrogen tank while using its flashlight function trying to peer through the fog to retrieve a loose box at the bottom of the tank?? Guess no more! 🥶📱📵😱😭

Restricting visas to 4 years would be yet another way to strangle innovation in science. Please comment TODAY. Average PhD length in biomedicine is 5-6 years in USA.

BOOK RECOMMENDATION:"The Ghost Map. The story of London's most terrifying epidemic and how it changed science, cities and the modern world" by Steven Johnson. Really enjoyed it. About a cholera outbreak in 1854 in London. The discovery of water borne illness and overcoming of miasma theory.

Hmmm. Randomly I've been added to the White House POTUS email list and invited to give feedback.... Hmmm, excited to tell them exactly what I think about their illegal actions and corruption and of course completely block these emails

Today's sanity walk... In a torrential downpour through a very big boggy foothills meadow in the Pacific North West USA. Very wet and very muddy but very much needed for my mental health. Hopefully these hiking boots are easier to clean once the mud dries!

Inspired by @mikefeigin.bsky.social we're doing a donut fuelled phone-a-thon here starting in 30 mins. Call your reps people and let them know cuts to NIH and NSF are non starters! 5calls.org is really useful!

I had a wonderful data intense day sharing all things dorsal midline CNS development with @shubhatole.bsky.social and lab in Mumbai. Science is so fun when done with a very good friends. Also amazing to talk together about new data in the context of our combined deep expertise in the field. ❤️🧠🔬
