Scientist interested in hibernation physiology, especially in bears, and its application to human disease and other problems.

Saturday update: Good progress continues to be made on Snoqualmie, Stevens, White & Blewett passes. There’s still a lot of work to go, but Snoqualmie & Blewett will reopen sometime Sunday. It will take longer to get Stevens & White reopened. (1/10)

Check out this research from scientists at @wsusbs & @UD_DNAcore on transcript-level changes in hibernating vs. active brown bears using @PacBio Iso-Seq! During library prep, #RNA sample purity was measured w/ a DeNovix DS-11+.

@HarmitMalik @joannalkelley @tmarquesbonet @Magdoll @JG_Underwood @the_mvierra @Jansenht Check out the video. The lovely bears at the WSU bear center willingly give a paw for testing! https://t.co/c3y1Yf14aD

[Joanna Kelley @joannalkelley]

Excited to share our work on transcript-level changes in hibernating vs active brown bears using @PacBio Iso-Seq. Lots of fun with @Magdoll, @JG_Underwood, @the_mvierra, @Jansenht and others!

Our bear research is being featured in the Journal of Experimental Biology!

When grizzly bears go into #hibernation they drop their body temperature and begin to exhibit the symptoms of #type2diabetes, but now it turns out that the dormant animals can be partially roused from hibernation with a 10-day long glucose breakfast

Big Pharma jacks up costs so high that families get stuck rationing insulin—a drug that’s been around for 100 years. We need our federal government to use its existing legal authority to bring down costs by publicly manufacturing key drugs like insulin, Epi-Pens, and naloxone.

Dear Science Deniers,

(Anti-vaxers, anti-maskers, climate hoaxers, flat-Earthers, etc)

You found one another & communicate via stupefyingly advanced technologies that pivot on the discoveries of scientists.

Just thought I’d remind you of that fact.

Sincerely,
Your Smart Phone

Joe Biden paid nearly $300,000 in federal taxes for 2019. President Trump, meanwhile, has refused to release any of his tax returns. https://t.co/p4qh3bfriW

@MattDRegan @lynnjrothschild @NASAAmes Hey Matt, how do I access the recordings for the meeting. Can you post to Twitter?

[Hubble @NASAHubble]

Good things come to those who wait! Over 11 days of observations paid off, and an estimated 10,000 galaxies were captured within the Hubble Ultra Deep Field image.

Any time we're impressed by what non-human animals do, it's simply because we previously underestimated their intelligence.

I wonder how many Bears pretend to be friendly before they eat you.

A Bear with a keen sense of order, rights some of what is wrong in our world.
