@PeteHegseth @RobertKennedyJr @elonmusk Don't you have national secrets to leak in a signal chat or something?

@yonathanaberra The real Western blot is the friends we made along the way

PCSK9 inhibitors are one of the greatest success stories in human genetics. Their discovery was enabled by sequencing the genomes of African Americans in Texas.

Congratulations Kelsey!

[Mete Civelek @mete_civelek]

Congratulations to my wonderful postdoc fellow, Dr Kelsey Watts. She not only received a fundable score on her F32 application but also received the ⁦@AHAScience⁩ postdoc fellowship. She is co-mentored by ⁦@PRodriguezMD⁩.

Excited to share my PhD student Jordan Reed’s final paper on how the the genetic background of mice impact the metabolic response to Western, Mediterranean, Vegetarian, and Vegan diets.

tldr: genetic background is more important than diet composition.

Thrilled to organize the 3rd Annual Emerging Leaders in Biomedical Engineering Symposium with @ndsheybani and @DanAbebayehu at @UVABME. We will hear from six senior postdocs and our keynote speaker @DrErikaMoore in exciting talks.

@lastpositivist Obv the humanities are not the only academic fields, and there probably *is* some self-sorting going on, but I think that general disregard for academia had some kind of effect on who decided to pursue higher ed

[Nicolas Barbera @Sput__Nik]

@lastpositivist For most of my life the prevailing attitude of adults - especially conservative ones - was "why would you study the Humanities? That's a useless degree." So it's surprising when they're all of a sudden mad that young adults took their advice and pursued other careers!

@BobWorldBuilder Would not surprise me if Colville's Delian Tomb is up there in impact, just for the new DM onboarding alone

[Abeba Birhane @Abebab]

whether deliberate or unintentional, the people who want you to treat AI systems as fully autonomous agents are simply laundering responsibility and accountability for the failures/harm from AI into glorified copy-paste machines that can’t know responsibility or accountability

@mete_civelek Who among us hasn't eaten the entire Costco rotisserie chicken whole after a long day

[Nicolas Barbera @Sput__Nik]

@Chani__Bravo (I wish I had any useful insight. I didn't know nightmares were a side effect)

[Nicolas Barbera @Sput__Nik]

@Chani__Bravo It's obviously the 5G microchip in the vaccine recalibrating to your brain waves

[Abeba Birhane @Abebab]

make no mistake. the primary objective of these AI companies is not to benefit society, advance science or human flourishing (as they keep telling us) but to consolidate power where it already is concentrated and control, monitor and surveil each and every move we make

[Mete Civelek @mete_civelek]

A story in two parts!

What began as a Twitter joke with @Lola_UMich two years ago is now an MPI grant application after much hard work by #DanielKupor and @yonathanaberra

I am glad to not to be the only crazy member of this team: @Lola_UMich and @DrHeatherFerris
