I don't normally write this sort of tweet but I am at the end of my tether. My PhD is funded by ubel-dtp part of the Economic and Social Research Council and I have not received a stipend payment for 47 days. I simply do not know how I am expected to live on pay I received in August

Cells are particularly good at solving mazes, according to a 2020 Science study that demonstrates how they are able to navigate long and complicated routes through the body using self-generated chemoattractant gradients. scim.ag/hf #ScienceMagArchives

Authors, don’t be afraid to give yourself a little leeway over the next two months. Not every paper has to be submitted by New Year’s Eve. Ease stress by setting reasonable deadlines and recognizing that your science is just as good after the holidays as before. #TuesdayTip

Excited to nerd out about #EnvironmentalHealth at UCSF EaRTH Center forum and learn from some incredible scientists! If you’re going, I’ll be presenting a poster @ 1:30p concerning #Redlining and #EnvironmentalJustice in California (once upon a time a class project) - come say hi!

One of the most fascinating aspects of society is what we choose to regulate Ex: we regulate the heck out of medical products, even those posing no risk Yet we unleash GPT-4 w no regulation despite that it WILL massively impact all of society and every human on earth Strange.

My first #dissertation paper is now on Environmental Health Perspectives! We study how a mother’s exposure to #mixtures of metals and nutrients during pregnancy impacts their child’s cognitive ability at multiple time points. Not possible without tremendous support from Andres Cardenas and many others!

Also delighted to read and thankful to Dr. Birgit Claus Henn and her commentary highlighting balance and potential synergy between exposomics and a priori specified exposures, as well as novelty of our effort to consider nutrients as mechanistically relevant co-exposures
