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...

Remembering the great Jerry Lutty, fantastic mentor to so many of us, pioneer in the study of the choroid, and warm and wonderful human being.

Fantastic collaboration with @albrechtlab.bsky.social ! Lysosomes as hubs to regulate cellular lipidome. #lysosomes #lipids

Science peeps, particularly trainees: When reviewing grants, it really, really helps if you have a Google Scholar page, an ORCID account, or a website that makes getting information about you, easy. Some sort of web presence. I'm begging you. Make it easier for study sections to give you money.

For context, this is one hundred ninety-two thousand, five-year biomedical research grants. More than five years of complete funding for the entirety of the NIH for cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, blindness, epilepsy, infectious diseases, etc… An entire generation of scientists.

Think of the best human being you know or have ever known. Try to live your life so that person would be proud of you.

NIH funded peeps: This is insane and coming for us.

For those who gave their tomorrows for our todays—this Memorial Day, we remember you with grateful hearts today and always.

Dearest shoalmates: Please consider posting a comment to the NIH regarding the Strategic Plan that includes reducing funding for animal research. Responses from the research community are currently greatly underrepresented compared w/ advocacy groups opposing animal experimentation. 🔗 below ⬇️ 1/2

I’m proud that one of my images placed in #BaltimoreCameraClub digital competition. Called ‘Life Under The Bean,’ taken in Chicago. Look for 6 reflections of me waving ‘hello.’ https://www.baltimorecameraclub.org/ImageZoom2.aspx?ImageSize=2&ImageId=28130103&Id=f1bf57c7-42a9-4978-9914-57bf575beaca

Years ago I read Blue Mind (foreword by Céline Coustea), about sitting by the ocean, any flowing water. Simple premise: human beings are changed by water - physically, emotionally, neurologically, even spiritually. So yesterday, all day, and now my practice. The shift is real. 🌊 Sending it to you!

“Many academic labs are currently like Wile E. Coyote running on a ledge, not realizing that it has already collapsed into the abyss.” This feels so true...

The sun sinks behind the mountains, the day dissolves into twilight. But on the water, the light lingers. It clings to the reflections, the gentle shimmer that lingers long after. So it is in life: moments pass, time takes the familiar away. But what was truly important remains in our hearts.
