Citations are the foundation of scientific recognition and an important way to acknowledge the work that moves a field forward. I was recently disappointed to see our work overlooked in a published review. This made me think about how important it is to recognize original contributions...
☕Nguyen et al. show that accumulation of dimethylarginine in lysosomes in disease models is associated with lipotoxicity and lipid droplet abundance. 👉https://rdcu.be/fvKac www.nature.com/articles/s41...

our collaborative work is on the cover of NCB! www.nature.com/articles/s41... #lysosomes #lipidmetabolism #methylatedarginine
I 3D printed these organizers for HRT supplies for @romancingthevote.com . There are two versions, testosterone and estradiol. The molecule is on both sides. They work for diabetes supples, too. I wanted to do something chemical, and it was fun figuring out which molecules people might relate to.
Fantastic collaboration with @albrechtlab.bsky.social ! Lysosomes as hubs to regulate cellular lipidome. #lysosomes #lipids
Fascinating study showing how lysosomes impact cellular metabolism of lipids. It was our pleasure to collaborate with @albrechtlab.bsky.social . More to come soon! #lysosomes #lipids

🚨🧪🧵URGENT INPUT NEEDED: NIH asks input for next strategic plan-including emphasis on non-animal models (NAMs) to replace animals. Per NIH insider, anti-animal responses now outnumber scientists 200-700x. Please please provide input. Deadline: May 26, 11:59 PM ET. grants.nih.gov/news-events/...

Amazing #ARVO2026 Had a chance moderating two fantastic sessions #aging #lipids and #agerelatedvisionloss on the rise!!
And why is that?? copied from @phd_pdf_scholarship (Facebook)
American science is shrinking. A Post analysis found that, halfway through this fiscal year, the number of competitive grants awarded by the National Institutes of Health is down by more than half compared with the same period last year. https://wapo.st/3OgoHKV
For U.S. medical researchers, shrinking labs and bare budgets are the new reality
The Trump administration has slashed the number of grants from the National Institutes of Health, with far fewer focused on women, cancer and mental health.

Amazing work from Edwards lab! As usual, mesmerizing images and thoughtful analysis. Congrats! And - this is the first post by @edwardsmalia.bsky.social !!! Welcome to Bluesky!
Malia Edwards@edwardsmalia.bsky.social · 5mo agoIn my lab's latest paper, just out in IOVS, D. Scott McLeod beautifully illustrated the choroidal pathology in a donor with multi-focal GA. I am grateful to Christine Curcio and K. Bailey Freund for allowing us to study these eyes and to all other co-authors. iovs.arvojournals.org/Article.aspx...

Just a quick clarification: everyone gets 5 votes per round (not per day!) — which makes a lot more sense 😄 Vote for us! We’re competing with a project studying how lipid supplementation may improve aging vision. More results soon, thanks for your support! #aging #AMD #vision #WomeninScience
