Thanks to Alex for hosting me on Bio-techne's Back of the Napkin Podcast. We discuss my science, life as a scientist, what it's like to be a TED speaker, and how strong feelings of anger won me an NIH New Innovator Award. Hope it can be helpful if anyone needs some inspiration.

Post-COVID, Carnegie Mellon instituted a fall break in addition to spring break. I have no clue why this has never been a thing before. Was spring break history really just about going to the beach??

Congrats to the amazing Kati Karikó & Drew Weissman on their Nobel Prize for vaccine-enabling mRNA science. I’ve been privileged to work & interact with them. Brilliance is par for the course when it comes to Nobels; being a good, generous person makes it even more special. 💗

I seriously 🔥 my finger today with super glue. Had no idea this was a thing. And the only finger bandages I have are bright Orange. For subtlety.

Came off of sabbatical a few weeks ago. It’s amazing how much faster I work when I have (a lot) more to do.

My partner thinks I’m missing the boat by coming here instead of Threads. I have no clue other than this isn’t Meta.

My doctor has me on a grain free diet for a month. Now I’m eating “pasta” that is actually strips of hearts of palm and questioning all of my life’s decisions.

If I’m not tweeting, what am I doing. Sky diving? Raining? Sleeting?
