Me: "It's time to start eating healthy." Lettuce: "I'm going to give you explosive diarrhea!" Chips and cookies in my pantry: "I would never do that to you."

Bad idea to quickly wash my coffee machine and make coffee this morning, 2 minutes before a meeting. #dawnprofessional #tastelikecitrus

I am looking to recruit 2 postdoctoral fellows to the lab to work on a recently funded project focused on class switch recombination in B cells. If you are interested in immunology, gene expression, and RNA and protein single molecule imaging, please reach out (schmi706@msu.edu). Please share!

🔥PREPRINT🔥: Metformin Redirects Autophagy from Bulk Turnover to Mitochondrial Clearance. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... This truly was a team effort. @kupharmchem.bsky.social

Had to spend $4,338.40 by the end of the month. Put a single quote for $4,333.40. 😎🤌

First Barnaba-Medina joint group meeting. OneKU happening in real time!! @universityofkansas.bsky.social #oneKU @kucancercenter.bsky.social

Hell yeah, we are running some serious experiments here! #prouddaddy #littlescientist

We put out a preprint with Bluesky-less Gaby Medina-Meza at KUMC (aka my wife). 3y of work, a bunch of coding, and a lot of fun. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I am and will always be skeptic about AI use in science. However, I can finally build omics computational pipelines with very little effort and do not depend on biostatisticians with zero knowledge about how real - and not hypothetical - experiments work (p.s.: I have strong stat foundations).

What I read is "chocoflan", also known as the 'impossible Mexican dessert'. This is some bioinformatician trolling me at the highest level.

Disco time! 🪩 💃 🕺

I am proud to see the official launch of the Obesity, Metabolic Health and Cancer Research Program at @kucancercenter.bsky.social - a first of its kind for an NCI-designated or comprehensive cancer center! www.kumc.edu/about/news/n...

Thanks Waters for the kind invitation here in Boston…and for the sexy socks 🧦 😍

Traveling to Boston in a couple of hours…how bad the snow is? Asking from my 64F here in KS….

Wow. This is very powerful.

My three-year-old was reading the Epstein files when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy why did so many nice people at Harvard like Jeffrey Epstein?" And when I told her "Because people at Harvard will do anything for a buck," she started crying.

Yeah, Americans discovering imperialism with Bad Bunny half time show. Do me a favor: go to a library and get this. It’s never too late to feel empathy. And (maybe) shame. 🫠

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

USDA grant submitted in September 2025, we will know if recommended for funding in June 2026. This is simply unhealthy.

What I have been seeing is that young PIs fail at being just professional. We train individuals to be masters in their field; we don't teach them how to behave with their peers, to meet a deadline, or to properly answer an email. Honestly: last two months have been a series of 'WTF?!?'.

“As 2025 comes to a close…”, followed by 100% guaranteed AI bullshit. Totally losing interest in “content”.
