As a manual patch clamper, I’d say this is spot on

#OnThisDay in 1914 English physiologist, Sir Alan Hodgkin was born. Hodgkin won the @NobelPrize for #Physiology or #Medicine in 1963, alongside Sir Andrew Huxley & Sir John Eccles for their analysis & mathematical description of the basis of the nerve impulse and its propagation.

Gonna have to throw on the trilogy now

[The Associated Press @AP]

James Caan, the curly-haired tough guy known to movie fans as the hotheaded Sonny Corleone in “The Godfather” and to television audiences as the dying football player in the classic weeper “Brian’s Song,” has died. He was 82. https://t.co/iJmBU88xnY

@KammermeierL @MariaMusgaard Thanks Paul, I definitely will

Well, all packed and ready to move to Boston tomorrow. Anyone have recommendations on food in Cambridge?

[Matthew Rook @MatthewRook9]

@MariaMusgaard Thanks! I’m quite excited to start this new chapter

Pro tip - keep up on your plasmid inventory or you’ll end up miserable in your last days in lab, like me.

[Oded Rechavi @OdedRechavi]

For PhD students it's a good idea to gamble on new PIs, on average they are more into it. I often see that the first graduate students that join a lab end up being really successful.

We bought this one about a year ago, still going strong. Fairly basic but our kinetic analyses of pH-gated channels show that it’s still on the nose even after a year!

[Matthew Rook @MatthewRook9]

@PSBROOKES @UR_Med This is a good point. I know it is hard on PIs especially with stagnant R01-like funding and the university doesn’t do anything to help (except for tuition “waiver” that’s essentially BS anyway)

[Matthew Rook @MatthewRook9]

@PSBROOKES @UR_Med A few thousand (4-6k) more per student shouldn’t break the bank, when grad students do most of the heavy lifting (esp. in our dept). This could also push more students towards applying for fellowships to lessen the burden on the lab.

if I’m reading recent SCOTUS abortion decisions right, I can force conservative justices and Republican legislators to rear botfly larvae under their skin for me and hold them liable if they don’t mature properly

baklava, if made correctly, is probably the single greatest dessert in the history of humanity

How about they do this study again using data from 2022 and see if we even fall in the top 10.

Rochester was recently named No. 3, just behind Pittsburgh and Oklahoma City, on a list of cities with the most affordable housing in the world. #ROC
