Post a bird to support @sbworkersunited.org and warn your followers not to buy Starbucks for the duration of the strike.
Searched "bird" in Photos & this seagull from Brannan Street Park in San Francisco asked to come and help out. He's been quietly chilling waiting to get to work for a decade.

What a crazy cool paper! First author @pierreucla.bsky.social with a large crew knocked it out of the park.

Happy Veterans Day to my favorite Vet. He traded Navy ROTC to pay his way through Berkeley (Bio + Physics) -eventually GI Bill paid for Med School after his service ended. Photos in one of his custom wheelchair(s) provided by the VA a few years before he passed from progressive supranuclear palsy.⚓

Very cool collaborative work between multiple groups across three institutions. Shoutout to @rhodamine110.bsky.social and his crew along with longtime @the.3i.social community @so-lets-kilab70.bsky.social for deploying 3i's #latticelightsheet for some particularly elegant chromatin microscopy. 🔥🔬🧠🧬🥽

Hear me out on this one. Made poke recently with steelhead loin - a surprisingly epic addition to the poke protein arsenal. Salmon adjacent, just less salmony, with super clean brininess and great mouthfeel. 11/10 would recommendo. Hit me up if you'd like the steelhead dealer.

....and a 3i customer visiting Heidelberg from Australia kindly sent me this photo of Nicole and @dvonwangenheim.bsky.social busy talking about microscopy with a handful of visitors to our booth.

Who knew today was National Coffee Day? Whelp, pretty much every day is coffee day on my calendar. Most of the time, I make a flat white, with occasional larger latte drinks, and a times smaller cortados. Iced drinks of various ilk also happen for others in the casa. How do y'all take your #coffee?

In the middle of - waves hands at all of this - dropping a timeline cleanse. Had a request for mac & cheese - made this two cheese cheddar & jarlsberg version tonight. The jarlsberg broiled top hit like french onion soup. Been making mac & cheese since my pops taught me the mother sauces as a teen.

Hear me out y'all. Steelhead loin makes for an outstanding poke bowl option. Milder & sweeter than classic salmon but full of clean ocean flavor. Coupled here with chunks of mango, avocado, and cucumber. Mixed up with scallions, soy, toasted sesame, momofuku chili crunch, kewpie mayo, and cilantro.

My latte art skills are seriously underdeveloped, compared to the time I put into making tasty coffee. Clearly shows my priorities as a food loving human. Nonetheless, these here angel heart wings on top of my flat white brought a smile to my face. Timeline refresh amongst all of this worldly mess.

Rocked some everything bagels on Sunday morning with lox & summer tomatoes. Don't post baking photos often of late, but the past week also included pita bread with grilled souvlaki, a dozen enriched rolls for breakfast sandwiches, sourdough roman pizza, crusty boule, & corn tortillas for al pastor.

Synapses drive local mitochondrial ATP synthesis to fuel plasticity! What a major undertaking here from the Rangaraju Lab. Thank you @rangarajuvidhya.bsky.social for the @the.3i.social shoutout below. We are thrilled to partner with truly creative labs like yours pushing the envelope in unique ways.

The dude is home from uni this week. Grateful to be called upon to serve and make food for the fam. This one was designed by the dude and pays homage to San Diego coastal living. Props to @ranchogordo.bsky.social for the Ayocote Morado beans. Ceviche w/ mango, cuc, jalapeño, cilantro, tomato, onion.

Timeline cleanse, from...waves hands at all of this. It's been a long time since I made this one. Roman Pizza di Patate from the way back machine. Is it a focaccia? Is it a pizza? Does it have bacon underneath all those mandolined yukon golds? If it was Rome, it'd be guanciale, but who's counting?
