Next time you give someone advice based on your experiences, remember that everything life taught you is confounded by pseudoreplication.

@nanopharmNC Yay! Four squash I don’t have to eat— it’s a win-win

Our review on "#RNA-binding proteins of COSMIC importance in #Cancer" is out in @jclinicalinvest. Read about the LoFi phenotype conferred by mutant RBPs. Great collaboration with @thechoilab, and many thanks to @elysecdx for the kind invitation! https://t.co/J74vGhjyFA

@nanopharmNC @NeuroDrugDoc Mine don’t get white either, my nails turn bluish though. I always think the pictures are the most extreme examples.

@bruce_worden @YouGoChi We actually had a box full of broken electrodes next to the microscope that looked just like that.

[Elyse Dankoski @elysecdx]

@bruce_worden @YouGoChi I just saw this — AMAZING, I feel all the rage I felt in grad school again!

[Elyse Dankoski @elysecdx]

Cc @nanopharmNC I think you will like this one.

[Bruce Worden: drawerings @bruce_worden]

#madscientistcomics #4 inspired by @elysecdx. Belated thanks to @YouGoChi for the "some asshole used up the reagent" idea last time. :) If you're a scientist and/or science prof with a specific frustration that makes you a Mad Scientist every time, drop me a line! :)

[Elyse Dankoski @elysecdx]

Here’s a little something I’ve been working on during the pandemic... meet Wilder, born a week ago at 7 lbs 8 oz! We are all very happy and healthy.

[Elyse Dankoski @elysecdx]

Thanks, now please resign, @SenatorBurr

@mathias_appel You never know what they will do! My first thought when reading this was whether people wearing a mask felt like they were safe around these guys— personally, I’d be worried about them taking their anger out on people complying with state guidelines.

Guy #4 taking a selfie with his giant gun = why I never go to Raleigh

[Travis Long: follow @vizjourno on Bluesky @vizjourno]

A group of about 11 mostly-armed demonstrators protesting the stay at home order marched around downtown Raleigh and ordered sandwiches at a Subway. #Covid_19 #ncpol #MealTeamSix

@DrSharlini Ah good tip, I found a bunch of abusive twitter accounts to report in there (one of my hobbies 😈)

[Elyse Dankoski @elysecdx]

@nanopharmNC I just remembered that @pwc_wildlife tracks box turtles in our area, and you can probably send them the photo of the one you spotted last week. Check out their website.

[Elyse Dankoski @elysecdx]

@DrSharlini Hahaha! That is even sadder. Gun cosplay.

[Elyse Dankoski @elysecdx]

This was true for me, too. I also didn’t know that schools would pay for transportation to interviews— I went totally broke from application fees then worried I would get an interview and not have saved up enough money to go to it.

[Kate Wassum 🧠👩🏼‍🔬 @KateWassum]

I did not know that many STEM PhD programs are funded until I was a senior applying to grad school.

[Elyse Dankoski @elysecdx]

I’m also a uchicago alum and NEVER receive @UChicagoAlumni-endorsed insurance or credit card advertisements.

[Elyse Dankoski @elysecdx]

I probably sound like a broken record but how is it ethical for @UNCGAA to sell alumni mailing addresses so that @BankofAmerica can advertise credit cards? Please, I need answers. This is why we will never donate.

[Rogue Melania🍸🍸🍸 @RogueFirstLady]

Poor Dr. Fauci

[Elyse Dankoski @elysecdx]

Dear @SenatorBurr: you should resign.

[Elyse Dankoski @elysecdx]

@nanopharmNC @SenatorBurr He doesn’t care who dies. He’s in office to protect businesses, not people.
