Can we improve peer review? We think we can! Check out an experiment I helped with as part of @solvingforsci.bsky.social 's mission to make science better. And if you don't want to read the whole bioRxiv manuscript, here's an overview of the main findings: solvingfor.org/news-posts-d...

Just said goodbye to my NIH MIRA award. Really hurts to see the word “terminated” in writing. Even worse to see it next to the F31 awarded to a fantastic PhD student in my lab @aybv.bsky.social. I REFUSE to let this stop us!!!

Preprint alert from the Freedman lab! PhD student Erandika Senevirathne reveals a unique role for the Src-family kinase Lyn in maintaining steady-state signaling in macrophages and a role for the phagocytic synapse in protecting against negative feedback by SHIP1. 🧪 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The NIH eRA Commons website has been down all afternoon. Does anyone have insight on whether this is a glitch or a plan? 🧪

I think people both within science and outside science don’t fully appreciate the miracle that were the Covid-19 vaccines. How much courage it took to get the sequence out, how much work had already gone into figuring out the best viral antigen and how best to present it. 1/

Information hygiene request - please circulate & take action. I’m getting bombarded with frantic fragments. Information flow is crucial right now, and every link in the chain matters. This is a concrete place where you can play a massive role in improving transmission. Start with SIFT method:

I'm here giving BlueSky a try. Can this community replicate the pre-x Twitter experience? I'm hoping the best parts of the scientific, artistic, philosophical, and political discussions will come together again. (Let x=Elon, pandemic, content-onslaught, etc. that caused me to delete the app.)
