@copilotmoney Finally! Excited to try the macOS version!

[Sarah Malkowski @snmalkowski]

Another paper out in @RNAJournal from my #PhD #research!

[Ronald Breaker @RonBreaker]

This rare #ncRNA might be a bacterial #riboswitch #aptamer for phosphoribosylamine (PRA), the first committed precursor of de novo #purine biosyn. Most genetics data says yes, but PRA has a 1/2 life of ~20 seconds, so no binding data presented. @RNAJournal https://t.co/sDnMtHHdrg

If you need more evidence for why you should wear a mask

[Rich Davis, PhD, D(ABMM), MLS🧫🦠 @richdavisphd]

What does a mask do? Blocks respiratory droplets coming from your mouth and throat.

Two simple demos:

First, I sneezed, sang, talked & coughed toward an agar culture plate with or without a mask. Bacteria colonies show where droplets landed. A mask blocks virtually all of them.

@Planet_Oat My oatmilk from costco is fizzy (bloated container) and smells sour even though it’s a newer purchase. Definitely went bad but way quicker than any other non-dairy milk. What gives?

The most amazing talk I’ve attended - Why Storytelling Matters for Science with @edyong209 @LizNeeley

[Sarah Malkowski @snmalkowski]

My paper is finally published in @RNAJournal! Super excited to share my #phd #research with the #science community!

[Ronald Breaker @RonBreaker]

In the quest to find #riboswitch #ncRNA classes for all #RNAWorld #coenzymes, our progress on NAD+ (led by @snmalkowski @YaleChem) is reported in @RNAJournal. The true function of its tandem riboswitch #aptamer domains is not yet certain. https://t.co/HJNGsJ33WK

[Sarah Malkowski @snmalkowski]

Having the courage to walk away is difficult and admirable. We, #scientists, need to #respect and #support others' decisions. Better yet, we need to improve the graduate #culture and make it a welcoming environment for young scientists! https://t.co/EBY14TcrGX

John Pollard from University of Arizona has done work in this space redsigning chemistry courses:

[Sarah Malkowski @snmalkowski]

How do we increase interest in #chemistry? Among many things to address is changing the curriculum of general chemistry to reflect relevance to everyday life and society. Continuing to teach the same way without innovating needs to change!

How do we combat bias in academia? First we need to identify the problem and its root. Crowdsourced from the #AAASmtg session, we named the top 3 things that may lead to bias - gender and race are clearly the contenders

[Sarah Malkowski @snmalkowski]

This costs our society $20B annually, which is mostly due to pretrial detention.

[Sarah Malkowski @snmalkowski]

Session #3 of today is a fascinating panel called “(In)Justice Before Trial: Understanding the Early Ateps is the Criminal Justice System”
#AAASMtg

[Sarah Malkowski @snmalkowski]

Robin Steinberg of @bailproject gave staggering stats including that 2.5M people are incarcerated because they can’t afford bail (pre-trial detention)

Leaving the RNA field temporarily to learn about our animal innovation in our food system at “Genome Edited Livestock and Regulatory Stalemates”

[Leanna Montgomery @scicommleanna]

First session (at 8 am!) of day 2 at #AAASmtg... A Feminist Agenda for Science Communication: Necessary and Timely

*Very* excited to hear from @stephaniebeth, @ThePurplePage & @tpbustos! #DiversityInSTEM #WomenInSTEM

[Sarah Malkowski @snmalkowski]

So excited for #AAASmtg this year! Ready to learn and engage! #scipol #scicomm

RIP 🧽 bob creator Stephen Hillenburg
Thank you for sharing this cartoon with us

[Nickelodeon @Nickelodeon]

💛 We are sad to share the news of the passing of Stephen Hillenburg, the creator of SpongeBob SquarePants. Today, we are observing a moment of silence to honor his life and work. 💛
