I read somewhere recently that men are evaluated on their potential, but women are evaluated on their outcomes and I just cannot stop thinking about it

After a year of plotting bad news, it's nice to plot some good news.

I was today years old when I learned that if you type PRIDE in the top columns of a Google Sheet, it turns your spreadsheet into a rainbow 🌈🥺 Cute!

Science podcasts are such a great format to supplement learning for those of us whose learning style isn’t primarily through reading alone.

Join us this Wed 6/23 12-2pm ET/9-11am PT for a special symposium "Machine Learning for Aging - Applied AI in Aging Research" Chaired by Nicolette Laird and featuring speakers Adriana San-Miguel, Indra Heckenback, and Morgan Levine! Post talk Q&A panel!

#VACCINE NEWS: mRNA vaccines may someday shield us from more than #COVID19: In an NIAID-supported study published in Science Magazine last week, mRNA vaccines protected mice from viruses with pandemic potential.

Graduate students around the world need more support to manage the mental-health issues, such as depression and anxiety, that they are experiencing at worrying rates, according to a report from two US non-profit organizations #NBTNewsBeat nature.com/articles/d4158…

The rapid development of #COVID19 #vaccines was made possible by decades of prior research. Learn more about the creation of COVID-19 vaccines in an interview with #NIH Vaccine Research Center Director Dr. John Mascola: covid19.nih.gov/news-and-stori…

I repeat- I haven’t been this excited about a discovery since CRISPR. We found something enigmatic that, like CRISPR, is associated with microbial genomes. We have named these unique entities #BORGs

So proud of this work!

"58% of people in high-income countries [have] received at least one vaccine dose; in low-income countries, this number [stands] at just 1.3%." The WHO is right to call a temporary halt to COVID vaccine boosters nature.com/articles/d4158…

It's time to stop making t-SNE & UMAP plots. In a new preprint w/ Tara Chari we show that while they display some correlation with the underlying high-dimension data, they don't preserve local or global structure & are misleading. They're also arbitrary.🧵biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

If you use it right, Google is the most powerful tool in the world. But the truth is most people suck at it. Here are 8 Googling tips that you probably don't know👇

Register for a @NCIBehaviors - NCI Cancer Control webinar on September 20 at 1:00pm EDT to hear Dr. Judith Campisi and Dr. Marco Demaria discuss the role of cellular senescence as it relates to cancer, cancer treatment, and aging: go.usa.gov/xFwvd

Why do mutations only sometimes cause cancer? In our new Science Magazine paper, we describe a mechanism for this called "oncogenic competence": science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited to share our latest preprint demonstrating that sex biases in cancer and autoimmune disease (AIDs) incidence are correlated across human tissues. This project is led by David R. Crawford, Ph.D., M.Sc. National Cancer Institute biorxiv.org/content/10.110… [1/5]

So excited to share this meeting. I have worked on planning for over a year! "Optimal #Longevity: Mechanisms of #Healthspan & Reducing #HealthDisparities" Please share! eventbrite.com/e/optimal-long…

On World Malaria Day this year, Nature Communications highlighted recent gains in research, including work I contributed to on a protein found in infected red blood cells that binds a special antibody insert, allowing the cells to clump to evade immune response. nature.com/articles/s4146…
