Super excited to launch POCAxOMAP with @dschweppe.bsky.social and @oligopain.bsky.social and led by Eli Biletch, Conor Herlihy and Lidan Li. If you’ve ever wanted to do proximity labeling on DNA, RNA, or protein without genetic engineering, look no further. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

My 5th grader's world is imploding with long division of decimals homework. My world is imploding as my defense is in 3 months. Its funny to see how life's challenges evolve over time. We will conquer long division and this defense 🤣

Another assault on US competitiveness at a time when biomedicine is roaring with innovation, an own-goal in a high-stakes international tournament. Of course the real losers are American people needing medicines and cures. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately
The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease.

I'm sorry but how, just how, is one suppose to focus on why there are no colonies on their agar plate like a normal PhD student when the US scientific community is getting smacked around left, right, and center. Now, more than ever, take care of your mental health and well being 🩵
