Wow the #LSRF website has changed Looks like if you give them money, but then later stop giving them money, they will blacklist anyone associated with you. Hmm

Yeah! That cover image perfectly explains the identification of a population of T cells that help maintain immune balance during pregnancy. Right on @science.org! Make Science Sexy Again (MSSA).

I am sure many of you my fans are wondering who I really am. I know I seem too good to be true, but I am as real as it gets, baby!

I overheard this in a coffeeshop in Cambridge: "Whoever uses both X (twitter) and Bluesky is a coward with no convictions". Thoughts?

I am like fine wine! I just get better with time.

When I go on one of my amazingly remote adventure vacations, completely off the grid, I schedule emails to my lab members and colleagues. I write things like, “Do you miss me, fool?” or “I hiked 30 miles before sunrise—what did you accomplish today, fool?” It always cracks people up.

I am so sorry everyone for deciding not to run for President of the USA. If I had not been selfish and ran you would not have to put up with all this.

If you are a delusional narcissist, you might hear boos as cheers... (I have no experience in this of course because despite what my posts suggest I am a realist about myself).

I can't nurture fetuses in my abdominal cavity. But if I did, I would look amazing!

“Yes, a Peace Prize nomination from Netanyahu is very meaningful — right up there with a Husband of the Year nomination from O.J. Simpson.” — RONNY CHIENG Ronny is as funny as I am....

Also, you should follow me back. I am amazing. And we can be besties! I can just tell.

Professor Hugh Bris @profhughbris.bsky.social · 07/07/2025

So cool John! Would you say you a better scientist or mountaineer? I am the best at both...

Professor Hugh Bris @profhughbris.bsky.social · 07/07/2025

Pro tip: When I feel sad or bad, I say to myself: "You are amazing. You are the best! Let other losers feel bad..." That immediately makes me feel better. (I realize this pro tip will not help all of you, as some of you are losers. sorry! Life is not fair)

I like you. Assertive but logical! Maybe you will get an important prize someday. who knows!

I have been on a short hiatus because I was trying to fix the world. I have to admit that I failed. But I believe in myself. I keep telling myself there is no peace on earth without me and my science. So, I have to push, push, push, push!

Professor Hugh Bris @profhughbris.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

I should be elected Pope! First, I will not change my name. Second, I would use the 100s of billions of tax-free money to build a world-wide HHMI institute. We won't need NIH. So brilliant! How come I am the only one who has these brilliant ideas? Come on, humans....

Professor Hugh Bris @profhughbris.bsky.social · 06/05/2025

This is insane! I am a gain-of-function model system. You want to tighten rules on my existence? This is pathetic. And look how happy Jay is to be photographed in the White House. I have never attended Stanford but I would be ashamed if I were right now. Elect me as next director of NIH!!!

I hear some chatter that this account is fake, that I don't exist. Dude! That is the best compliment to me. It means I am too good to be true. And that is true! I am too good.

I’ve never heard of South Bay (spent most of my career in Boston), but these photos look a lot like the view I had on an expedition to the summit of Denali. Is South Bay referring to Alaska? I thought I was the only scientist mountaineer!

This reminds me of the time I was invited for a 45 minute seminar, and had so much information to share that I went on for 6 hours and 8 minutes. Everyone cheered so loud when I finished because they enjoyed it so much

Professor Hugh Bris @profhughbris.bsky.social · 21/04/2025

If they gave me as much funding as they have thrown at A.I., I could end disease faster. Everything A.I. knows is based on what I know anyways, so you are limited by what I discover at the bench. Take that, you silly little robots

I am very good at counting, you should see my math scores from the GRE

If you have a perfect body like me, you will not dare to get tattoos. I would get sued for messing up with perfection!

I, of course, don't get recognized enough but I have been awarded many many many big big big prizes! Ish, I am a big fan of yours. How come you don't follow me? You should. And to prove to others that you are generous, you should repost your favorite of my posts to share the love...

I never take turns! Cause it is always my turn. People are lucky to be around me and to listen to my voice -- which by the way I have been told is sweeter than the sparrow's voice!
