The @hypothesisfund.bsky.social is special: it introduces me to this amazing group of people who cares beyond scientific discoveries. It also hosts one of the most fun meetings, like a dinner at a farm. Deeply grateful to David, Pajau, and my scout Elaine!

Wendy Valencia-Montoya and team uncover thermal infrared as one of the most ancient pollination signals uniting plants and animals. From the field to single proteins. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Two great news today: my second graduate student passed her qualifying exam, and, after two years of overcoming all sort of obstacles, shrews arrived at UCLA 🥳

Yesterday was one of those days that one kid sick for school, one kid sick for daycare, still had to drop off and pick up the not sick one at daycare, husband out for a week for travel, while I rush to make two grant deadlines….🫠🫠🫠

It was a lot of fun organizing a session (pain and nausea) at the Korean Neuroscience meeting with Hojoon. Thanks to speakers @karalmarshall.bsky.social @chuchuzhang.bsky.social who flew all the way to Korea with us! Great to catch up with old friends and make new ones. And the food was amazing!

My academic job offer was rescinded. I’ll keep going—but U.S. researchers are running out of road
Despite an uncertain future, this postdoc will “keep doing the science I love while I still have a bench”

Hot ones spicy level competition in the lab. Thanks to Ashley! We documented interoceptive sensations in our gut as spice level increased. The winners, no genotyping for a month.

Published an op-ed for @cnn.com: “Nobel laureate: I owe America my success. Today, its scientific future is in danger.” A personal reflection on what’s at stake as science funding gets slashed. I’d be grateful if you could amplify both in and beyond the science world. www.cnn.com/2025/04/09/h...
