Sooo I accidentally bought jumbo forceps instead of large forceps for bumble bee colony work. Are they comically large and totally impractical? Yes. Will I seize every opportunity to use them, starting with comparing its size to common items for my own amusement? Also yes.

The tiny pocket in jeans is for thawing primers, right?

Couldn’t think of anyone more deserving! Congrats Ubadah!

A "fly" new way of antiviral immunity. cGAMP/STING induced transcriptional responses pre-date evolution of interferons. A beautiful study in Drosophila by Imler and colleagues that has significant implications for the field. stke.sciencemag.org/content/13/660…

Prelim: ✅ Officially a PhD candidate!

Getting a paper published takes longer than making a covid vaccine

Undergrads! No one told me so I'm telling you. Did you know you can get flown out, offered lodging & PAID to do summer research (even w/ no experience)? First, I want you to learn these two terms: REU=research experience for undergrads SURF=summer undergrad research fellowship

It would be so much more fun if we could say “and friends” instead of “et al.” Academic Chatter™

Folks, the results from the GSA's 2021 Cost of Living Survey have been published on our website! Here's a key finding: "The average student has $20.01 remaining after cost of living expenses are paid." Yikes! Check out the full report on the GSA website! gsa.vt.edu/advocacy/2020-…

Congratulations Lauren Fritsch, PhD! Please check out our collaborative work with @immunolab and @LabTheus. Thank you for the joint effort of everyone involved:) Type I Interferon Response Is Mediated by NLRX1-cGAS-STING Signaling in Brain Injury frontiersin.org/article/10.338…

Brute forcing the analysis of the genome….😣. If only you had an AI software like N.A. Genomics to analyze the entire genome and identify patient-specific mitigations for genetic risks like Alzheimer’s disease Peter Attia 😎
