Beyonce lover. Scientist. Don't be surprised. Changing the future one student at a time. #Nicholaslab @UCIBioSci

Introducing myself since I'm starting my account from scratch. I love science. I love my students and I love baking. My lab studies how the immune system can be targeted to improve diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome. My family is everything to me.. and my lab is also family.

@markalawson Lol. It's always been rare for me too. Maybe that's the key to it being enjoyable

[@QuinaScience @quinascience]

There's something about briefly popping into lab on the weekend that I really like. Lol

[@QuinaScience @quinascience]

My very first grad student @NaveenaUjagar defended her dissertation today. She is that girl. Set the bar so high for a PhD from the #Nicholaslab I am beyond proud of her and the work she has done. Congratulations Dr. Ujagar

[@QuinaScience @quinascience]

@markalawson Yup... but the good thing is it's not stopping us!!

[@QuinaScience @quinascience]

New fav comment on a summary statement.

Weakness: the data supporting this grant is on @Bioarxiv, not published.

[@QuinaScience @quinascience]

My 5yo woke up and told me she had plans to go to the park or pool today...

Me: ok....

Mood when you and your best friend get NOAs for your NIH grants on the same day ♥️ Celebrating all the wins!

@PiantadosiSean @shlotfipour @UCIrvine @UCIneurobio Welcome!!

[@QuinaScience @quinascience]

@RuxandraTeslo It's not about reading every paper in depth..cause some papers you pour over for days and others you read one quickly....its about accurate representation of what you cite.

[@QuinaScience @quinascience]

@RuxandraTeslo I was taught you cant just skim the abstract and cite. In grad school I ran into this several times. A citation from a review I wanted to use. Checked the paper. didnt support what I thought. Made it clear you have to read what you cite. Basic accuracy of lit representation

[@QuinaScience @quinascience]

Ummm.. this is why we should read sources we cite. I had this mentality as a grad student and my advisors quickly corrected. As a student I was surprised that they checked my references... but they established this should be the norm. Yes..I also check my students references

[Lenka Zdeborova @zdeborova]

@eiszett Have you read all the sources you ever cited? During my PhD we, along with dozens of other papers, cited a paper that I later found did not contain the result for which it was commonly cited. I should be banned I guess.

[@QuinaScience @quinascience]

So confused at the discourse on academic Twitter. Verifying references matter. My group wrote a review last year. I went through every single reference to ensure it was accurately represented and relevant. Accepting LLM hallucinations is accepting reduced rigor in our science.

[James Miller @JimDMiller]

I've gotten a lot of comments like this, so forgive me if this isn't very kind, but I'm at my limit. If you're a serious academic, you've spent a lot of time looking at citations, and you know they often contain errors. You know that it's very common for professors just to copy citations they found in other papers and put them into their own papers because they need a lot of citations to look credible. Given that this is going on, it's kind of silly to think that we should have a kind of death penalty for having an LLM, hallucination mistake What you're doing is virtue signaling and pretending that citations are somehow sacred to what academics do, when in fact they're mostly just poorly put up window dressing. You're being dishonest. Perhaps with yourself, perhaps with me.

It took 93 years to admit PCOS isn't just cysts, it’s a full metabolic failure.
We’ve been gaslit, handed birth control pills, and told to "just lose weight" while fighting chronic insulin resistance from the inside.
Women’s health is still treated as an afterthought. We deserve better.

[@QuinaScience @quinascience]

When you're stressed cause you need to condense a grant but then realized you drafted in 12pt point font not 11pt...

Hmmm.. what to do with my new found space

I like to post bakes I do for #Nicholaslab #bdays. Since I'm stuck at home I finished up this post. Peach Blueberry Cobbler! Enjoy! #scientistswhobake

..and cramping associated with miscarriage. Female Dr. said I've been there. Incredibly painful. We're going to manage your pain. Morphine. No effect. Then torodol. Night and day experience suffering in pain when I didn't have to vs resting until surgery.

[@QuinaScience @quinascience]

The importance of empathetic women in Healthcare. Last year I was in ED for a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. I have high pain tolerance. Male nurse. Gave me Tylenol. Didn't get anything stronger until I was screaming 8hrs later.

Yesterday went to ED for excessive bleeding.

Long-term editing of brain circuits with engineered electrical synapses! I still remember years ago when @KafuiDzirasa from @DukeU @hhmi_science called me beaming with excitement about this new technology. Here it is today @Nature.

As you may know, every year @OveracreLab and I ride tandem to raise money for cancer research at @UPMCHillmanCC. Imagine the power if all my followers even donated a few bucks! 100% of your deductible donation goes straight to research!
