I’ve been silent on twitter because it has been a rough semester. Worst betrayal of trust I have ever had with a graduate student. But my middle son knitted me this hat, and when I wear it, I start to feel like things might be okay again. #magichat

New Nature paper provides evidence that science has become less innovative since the 1950s. The authors suggest reversing the trend by: 1. reading widely, 2. focusing less on quantity of papers, & more on research quality, 3. taking year-long sabbaticals. nature.com/articles/s4158…

More thoughts on the demise of disruptive science. Take Fred Sanger, 2x Nobel Prize winner. Sydney Brenner wrote about him in an obituary that multiple times in Fred's career, he went 10+ years without publishing as he was working on 'disruptive' science. science.org/doi/full/10.11…

Time to submit abstracts for the European Fly Meeting, in October in Lyon! You will hear about amazing science across a broad spectrum of disciplines in a gorgeous city that has delectable food. Trust us, you want to be there!!! #Fly #FOMO EDRC2023 tinyurl.com/4u5kuuxa

Cancer researchers at the AACR Annual Meeting 2023 and a conference earlier this year, focus on targeting KRAS, a protein once viewed as "undruggable." Learn more in #AACRStories: aacr.org/about-the-aacr… #AACR23 OncoAlert

💪New research led by Lorena Benedetti Lippincott-Schwartz Lab shows that subcellular structures similar to those that propagate signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmitting signals in the brain that may facilitate learning & memory🧠 🔗 janelia.org/news/from-musc…

These great research institutions in red states are slated to lose about $1B in NIH research dollars

The indiscriminate and ill-conceived slashing of indirects by the NIH yesterday must be amended if want to restore America’s leadership role biomedical research. 15% simply isn’t enough for institutions to provide the basic infrastructure needed to run a successful lab. I say

A 17-year-old just built a mind-controlled prosthetic arm for $300. Yes, $300. For something that usually costs $450,000. Let that hit you. A teenager, working from home, used AI, cheap materials, and 23,000 lines of code to build a device that reads brain signals without
