New art project: the concept is to carve an image into wood in a semi-abstract form that allows the viewer to both recognize and personalize the image. The image is carved as an array of precisely cut dimples in a piece of pale wood pre-coated with black paint.

Nurses need a status boost. Doctors aren't as special as they think.

I voted for Joe Biden but this weekend I think all Americans need to rise above partisanship and counter the larger menace that is Philly sports fans.

Antivaxers have this unfounded idea that COVID-19 vaccines are leading to people "dying suddenly".

But in a study of individuals with heart failure, the highest death rate was in the unvaccinated group.

Explain🤣🤣🤣

To commemorate my dear colleague David Allis, I would like to share a story about how Dave helped me shape my research program when I was struggling to figure out how to run a lab as a new PI at the Rockefeller University. 1/

* Higher ed doesn’t teach imagination or risk taking
* Academia is less attractive as a career
* Most of the easy problems have been solved
* Hard problems require bigger teams & longer runways
* Govt. grants are risk averse, increasingly applied, and have stagnant budgets

@NickOlsonNFL @WillRagatz Is that stat defender-dependent? TEs probably have an easier time separating from LBs than WRs do from CBs. I wanna know how well any given receiver would separate from a generic defender, not the defenders they happened to face.

Can the differences in our genes affect CRISPR drugs? Yes, and I discuss beautiful work on human genetic diversity in @NatureGenet by Cancellieri, @lucapinello, Dan Bauer, @shengdarqtsai+colleagues @somaticediting https://t.co/ZWJGwZaspj

Covid (@UCSF) Chronicles, Day 1006 (!)
There’s an awful lot of Covid confusion & misinformation out there, particularly around these three topics: masks, vaccines, and home tests. Let’s look at them in today's thread. (1/24)

Writing a good grant proposal involves both creative ('night science') and executive ('day science') aspects that are important to distinguish. Here's a 🧵on my strategy for deciding what to propose and the process of actually putting the grant together.

One thing is pretty clear to me in seeing the reaction to this Hunter Henry play from last night. PEOPLE SEE WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE. so many people claiming this ball never hit the ground. Also claiming Henry never lost control of the ball. We may not like the rule but please!
