I was talking to someone in an Uber on the way back from a bar and I told him about my grad research and he mentioned a competing lab/company and I activated like a sleeper cell and said "Fuck xxxx" in the Uber. So I think I have a new BFF.

File this under things I already knew because my dad started college there and was also familiar with the work of wheat shocking. We've got the tshirt.

Every time I buy what I think is a cool puzzle, my parents absolutely hate it. This would definitely be one of those. 😂

I have never had the pleasure of meeting @dereklowe.bsky.social in person or even virtually but his genius has turned into witchcraft as he has extracted the very essence of my core chemist with this paragraph

One interpretation of this, although not the most charitable one, is that the ‘just make the stuff’ people are getting the most advantage they can out of what is probably fundamentally rather loose (or even sloppy) lab technique. I plead guilty to this. I am certainly capable of setting up persnickety reactions with precise orders of addition and controlled temperature and atmosphere, because there are some reactions that simply will never work unless you give them such royal treatment. But an endless series of these would have worn me down. I’ve always been more comfortable with the idea of throwing in an extra equivalent (or two), or turning up the heat some more if a reaction looks like it needs encouragement after a day or two.

Trying to resist the urge to start looking into the genetic pathway that controls cocaine metabolism, and whether sharks have it. And whether anyone has studied if the metabolite found in sharks is exogenous or endogenous. Because I need to workout on my lunch break 🤣

But the metabolite could also be partially present from waste water so 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

JiffyPop #jenius @jiffypopphd.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

Ok, as a toxicologist, I had to do some research on whether sharks can metabolize cocaine into inactive benzoylecgonine, like humans do. Apparently, they do not. So, yes, i imagine the coke meat does, in fact, go crazy.

Omg, I was going to mention that topic but thought maybe I was misremembering. Talking to my old advisors' recently graduated student this year, sounds like the students are still providing the food at my graduate school.

"trans ideology is a sickness." [reads the news] "people's personal affairs are none of our business and we should talk about immigration"

A screenshot of two tweets by Representative Nancy Mace.

The first, published at 8:02AM today, reads: "To anyone celebrating "Trans Day of Visibility" today, we sincerely hope you get the help you need."

The second, published at 9:06 AM reads: "The media wants to talk about Bryon and Kristi Noem's personal drama and indiscretions. I want to talk about who is getting deported, who got paid, and who's stealing from taxpayers.

Different priorities. Let's focus on what matters."

When you combine this case with Skrmetti, the Supreme Court has initiated a regime where states can ban medical care to affirm trans youth while states cannot ban efforts to engage in conversion therapy on trans youth. This court is such a joke.

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

The NYT purposefully mischaracterized the position of the AMA to make it seem like they changed policy and opposed gender affirming care on trans youth. It appears they have rejected efforts by the AMA to correct the record.

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

Children view earnest conversations like this with their parents like a "voluntary" discussion with a police officer. The only pertinent question is: "am I free to leave?"

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

Voiding documents that make it legal for people to move through the world normally—especially but not exclusively when you give them no practical opportunity to get new ones even if they wanted to—is (still) not about bathrooms or sports. It’s about erasure.
