Professor, personal account. Genetics, genomics, brain development, other stuff. Typo-prone. If you’re nice I’ll post dog photos.

Some fish change their sex in response to social cues e.g. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31309157/

Stress, novel sex genes, and epigenetic reprogramming orchestrate socially controlled sex change - PubMed

Bluehead wrasses undergo dramatic, socially cued female-to-male sex change. We apply transcriptomic and methylome approaches in this wild coral reef fish to identify the primary trigger and subsequent molecular cascade of gonadal metamorphosis. Our data suggest that the environmental stimulus is exe …

Tell me a fun fact.

Open-rank search! Come to UCSD for the exceptional scientific community. That it happens to be in one of the pleasantest places to live is just a nice bonus.

I'm thrilled to share that UCSD Biological Sciences has launched an open-rank search for a transformational researcher, with a particular focus on structural biology/cryoelectron microscopy! Come to UCSD and enjoy our fantastic research community, world-class facilities 🔬, and pretty good weather 🌴🏖️

You can now update bioRxiv/medRxiv preprints with funding information after the fact. Authors often omit/don't have all funding info when submitting, but funders understandably want it there. This solves the problem without requiring you to submit a whole new paper. openrxiv.org/updating-fun...

Updating funder information on preprints - openRxiv

For the past year, bioRxiv and medRxiv authors have been able to include funder information with their preprints. This can be entered in a dedicated field during the submission process, using Research...

NIH's Aug 2026 proposal would scrap exact scores and percentiles for three broad bins (top = top 25%). With funding rates at 5% or lower, too much then rides on administrative discretion. It devalues peer review and is a deterrent to engage. Tell NIH before Oct 13. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Shame liars out of public life; prosecute white-collar crime; regulate away all the business practices built on cheating people. Or just let society decay into incurable anomie and cynicism.

Honestly feels weird, but, OK: 3 new R01s since November (you do not want to know how many submissions), many important papers in 2026 (e.g., first clinical trial, first 1 week in vivo duration of our tech, and first two "we did novel science with the tech" papers). And the company is doing well.

💯%. I want to read about your preprint, thesis, paper, grant, promotion so much more than all the fuckery and rageposts that I will also see anyway.

Someone awesome in my circle shared some terrific news with me today but was hesitant to do so because of all that is going on in the science world. It may appear insensitive that you are celebrating when other colleagues are struggling but I entreat you to celebrate & share good news. 1/

my tv is currently restarting because its terms have changed and i need to accept the new agreement. a tv shouldn’t have terms of agreement. it should be a tv.

Virologist/molecular biologist Dr. Flossie Wong-Staal altered the trajectory of the global HIV/AIDS epidemic. First to clone HIV-1 & complete its genetic mapping, directly leading to life-saving antiviral drug cocktails. Most-cited female scientist of the 1980s. Born #OTD in 1946. #WomenInSTEM

A black-and-white portrait of Dr. Flossie Wong-Staal (1946–2020), the pioneering Chinese-American virologist who first cloned HIV-1 and mapped its genome. Sitting in her research laboratory, she faces forward with a composed, direct, and confident expression. Her dark hair is styled in a short, neat bob, and she wears long, slender dangling earrings. Over a dark, patterned blouse, she wears a crisp white laboratory coat. She rests her left forearm on a lab counter beside her, while her right hand holds a dark binder resting on her lap. The background shows a busy lab setting filled with shelves of scientific glassware, chemical bottles, and equipment, all slightly out of focus to draw attention to her. The composition places her slightly off-center, capturing an professional and scholarly mood that underscores her historical significance as a leading figure in molecular biology during the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis.
