It was an honor to talk with Nab Dasgupta and Brandie about this collaboration. Basic science can sometimes feel far removed in the day-to-day from the lives the research impacts. Conversations like these remind me how much science--and access to science--matters.

ORT sat down with recent MacArthur fellow @nabarund and Director of the Chemistry Mass Spec Core @BrandieEhrmann to chat about the role of the core facility in Dasgupta's life-saving work on the opioid epidemic! Honored to tell this part of the story. https://t.co/j2TpWjGcRH.

@FishCsCells One day we will not be compromised by viruses and can host a play date here!

When life hands you COVID exposures you get cute meeting co-hosts who uses the headphone cords to test your reaction time

@CashApp Very frustrating trying to access past tax returns filed through Credit Karma/CashApp. Submitting the form with my name/e-mail results in an error and trying to send a code to my phone never results in a text message. Both issues persist over multiple browsers. Help?!

@ATinyGreenCell Probably still good, but no one is going to ever be able to replicate those conditions!

@RVAwonk So...as a pregnant person (vaxxed and boosted, but the last booster was 6 months ago) who just contracted Covid (the joys of having a kid in preschool) what's the take away here. There's just no way to avoid it if you have a kid in daycare/preschool where masks are being dropped.

The fact that doctor's aren't the ones able to decide if a patient's life is "in danger enough" to warrant an abortion during a medical emergency is absolutely ridiculous and terrifying. States to never travel to or live in while pregnant for 100, Alex. https://t.co/yXYtR3ry4h

Don't miss Dr. Susan Sumner, Director of the @uncnorc Metabolism and Metabolomics Core, on July 25 at 3pm ET. #nutrition #medicine #exposome #metabolomics

No biomedical organization should hold a conference in a state that outlaws abortion.

Vaccination against smallpox was halted in 1980- it was a very effective vaccine against smallpox and also offered 85% protection against monkeypox. Monkeypox virus infection was predicted to increase as smallpox vaccine protection drops in the human population globally.

Spring UNC Core Facilities Staff Recognition Award Winners Announced https://t.co/BOXWN3njm4

@FishCsCells Not only delay vaccinations, but sit on a vaccine you would otherwise approve because there might be another one coming out a month later?! (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Monthly ritual: we have posted an updated version of our extensive database of funding opportunities for early-career researchers/faculty.

It contains 558 entries, incl. description, deadline, amount, and eligibility criteria

@FishCsCells I like everyone pointing to the CDC saying we're now "low risk" without acknowledging they moved the metrics to make us "low risk."

"If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts."

[Kara Clissold @NeurosciEventer]

@FishCsCells @KYT_ThatsME To be fair, systems are intent on returning to "economic growth". The maiming and killing are just acceptable side effects.

@ChadPecot You need to add a content warning for parents who *literally* just got this song out of their heads this morning.

@JoshuaStrauss5 I've definitely microwaved those cups before. Huh.

Turns out when I bake bread on the day I work from home I also eat half a loaf.
