Congrats Ajay Thatte on this exciting outlook for nanomedicine in autoimmunity!

How Penn Medicine is changing the world with mRNA penntoday.upenn.edu/news/how-penn-… Katalin Kariko Penn Medicine

“…in both mouse and man” is one of my favorite ways to describe conserved phenomena in research papers. So ominous.

This is how I’m supposed to use #ChatGPT right?

Looking to join an amazing new lab in mRNA vaccines? Do cool science with a cool person at Penn 🧬

Here, I talked about how the people I met at RutgersBME were the best part of my experience. They came from different backgrounds than me. They made my world bigger and better. Many of them are Palestinian. They are hurting, and I am hurting with them.

Our lab is proud of our Nobel laureate boss!!!! Thank you for your fabulous wishes and congratulatory messages. #Nobel2023 #UPenn

BREAKING NEWS
The 2023 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for their discoveries concerning nucleoside base modifications that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.

Come join us while I talk about some cool science I did on mRNA delivery to the pancreas with Prof. Katie Whitehead 🧬

We are looking for a highly motivated individual to accompany us in the wonderful quest to develop new mRNA vaccines and tissue targeting strategies. Here is the job application link:

Currently resisting the urge to ask a certain publishing company what the monetary value of their 'reviewer certificate' is

We recently talked with Jilian Melamed & Prof. Katie Whitehead at Carnegie Mellon Chemical Engineering about their study in Science Advances, where they engineered lipid nanoparticles to carry delicate mRNA cargo to the pancreas in mice.

To all the people who say 'Abolish the police? What would you do if a major crime occurred'

Yesterday I was the victim of a scary crime, the cops had ot be called for insurance reasons. They let the guy go and he came back to my house already trying to do it again.

Not “murder is bad so we can’t genocide trans people,” but “they are not a legitimate category of being.” This is horrific.

You cannot “eliminate transgenderism” without eliminating transgender people.

Being trans is integral to who we are. It is an inseparable part of our existence and lives.

You can no more eradicate the blood from my veins than you can eradicate transness and expect us to live.

Ok I will say one more thing bc I’ve been thinking about it for a while and it’s relevant. If you are mentoring scientist from marginalized groups, especially black scientists. Being a good mentor by regular standards is not enough.
