Who says electrospray ionization can not be relaxing and cool? 🧘 Check out this video on how it works 🔬and… RELAX!

#Metabolomics analyses reported an increased risk of #Cardiovascular Disease associated with the #ArtificialSweetener #Erythritol, supported by mechanistic studies showing that high levels of erythritol enhanced platelet reactivity & #Thrombosis formation. go.nature.com/3SC3Dfi

Recreating the Powerpuff girls and HIM

Google search is broken and I don’t think I can get anything programming-wise done while it’s down 🫠

Our paper "Tryptophan metabolism determines outcome in tuberculous meningitis: a targeted metabolomic analysis" is now out! doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… eLife - the journal

I haven't posted a fantasy map in a while! Here's my Boston / MBTA fantasy map (by the year 2050 or so)

This is absolutely bananas. There is NOTHING like this on the instrumental record. Its likely impact is probably immeasurable. But is it leading our news bulletins & on newspaper front pages? Nope.

Since the discovery of CRISPR-Cas systems, people have wondered if a similar type of system exists in eukaryotes. Today, we report in nature the characterization of Fanzor, a eukaryotic RNA-guided system that can be reprogrammed for human genome editing. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Florida water temps as hot as 95 - 97° between the Everglades and the Keys this week, according to multiple sensors roughly 5 feet deep. Horrible for the coral reefs in the area. @WINKNews

My first #nutrition2023 conference. Hopefully I’m doing this right!

I haven’t been this glued to twitter since COVID began spreading. This LK99 superconductor saga feels like an episode of the amazing race at this point.

BREAKING: Another US Congressman has traded stocks before the start of the Middle East Conflict, stocks that benefit directly from war. Kevin Hern bought $RTX, Raytheon, a weapons manufacturer, last month. He also bought four energy stocks as well, $NEE, $XOM, $PXD, and $DVN.

Excited to share our preprint on metabolic differences in the vaginal #microbiome. We find key differences in fatty acid metabolism among #Lactobacillus species & leverage those findings to identify a potential new therapy for bacterial vaginosis (BV) & #WomensHealth 🧵 (1/n)

1/ Thrilled to see this paper out now in Cell Host & Microbe, where we show how to link disease-associated microbes to plasma and stool metabolite changes in patients. tinyurl.com/46mnnnwp

Homicides are plummeting. In all 10 cities with the most 2023 homicides—for which we have data—homicides are falling. The pandemic crime wave is crashing hard. If these percentage decline numbers were percentage growth numbers, it would be the lede of every cable news show—>
