Biology major Harrison Jordan won 3rd Place Poster in the Biological & Life Sciences section of UAB's Undergraduate Research Spring Expo. His poster discussed the effects of SAHA & EGCG on apoptosis in triple-negative breast cancer cells through expression of cIAP2 & caspase 7.

I’m past the stage of parenting that’s mentioned in this article but isn’t the idea of using data to drive decision-making so much more compelling? https://t.co/jCjjkVY989

This could be really neat.

It has been a while. The sequencing industrial will become more interesting.

Evolution shower thought: Humans are the only animals that laugh at farts, therefore we must have evolved from an ancestor that didn't laugh at farts. This means that at some point in the past, there was and individual that was the first to ever think a fart was funny and laugh.

The entire mass of one huge plastic garbage patch in the Pacific Ocean: 79,000 TONS
8 times the weight of the Eiffel Tower. IN PLASTIC GARBAGE. In our oceans.

Check out the latest scientific findings on the matter in our latest Break!!

So apparently the cool pictures of the black hole today are from the algorithm in Bouman et al. 2016 (https://t.co/EzxZStYH38), a CVPR paper that has been cited a total of 11 times. Citations are not necessarily an indication of impactful work, esp. multidisciplinary work!

The purpose of a PhD should not be training for *one* specific job. The purpose of a PhD should be to develop problem solving, critical thinking, and leadership skills as preparation for *any* job. #PhDchat

[Dr Sally Le Page @sallylepage]

PhD students suffer from anxiety and depression at rates that far exceed the general population. How about rather than looking for ways students can treat themselves, we look at the structural reasons why academia is destroying the mental health of so many PhD students?

Take a listen to Wisconsin Public Radio for a segment I did on the biology of gray hair! I start at minute 33. So cool!
