@ardemp I love that someone is still doing this! my legacy lives on 😅

[Ardem Patapoutian @ardemp]

Fantastic day at @FMKirbyNeuro and @harvard Neuroscience! Got to meet very cool young trainees at lunch, caught up with friends and colleagues during the day and at dinner. And as a bonus grabbed a pre-dinner drink with @twhitwam1, a lab alumnus.

Who wore it better? @ardemp @FlavorFlav

[Ardem Patapoutian @ardemp]

For all those people who have told me if they got the @NobelPrize they would wear the medal on their neck at all times… here you go! Thanks to the whole lab past and present (with @KaraLMarshall’s leadership) for the best precision jewelry. Should I bring this baby to Stockholm?

[Tess Whitwam @twhitwam1]

@KaraLMarshall I’m so excited for you!!

A very nerdy Christmas! Thanks @ardemp. Will try to not tell everyone I know about this hat multiple times.

@guitchounts Harvard's says that we work "on average" 20 hours a week

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

Watch the Nobel Prize lectures in physiology or medicine.

See 2021 medicine laureates David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian deliver their Nobel Prize lectures.

Where are you watching from?

Great mentor starting her lab soon! Check it out! Couldn’t have gotten into grad school without her help.

[Tess Whitwam @twhitwam1]

Many congratulations to a fabulous scientist, mentor, and human

[Ardem Patapoutian @ardemp]

A day to be thankful: this country gave me a chance with a great education and support for basic research. And for my labbies and collaborators for partnering with me. So glad @NancyAHong captured this "touching" moment. #PIEZO

[Sanjee Baksh @S__Baksh]

Did it hurt? When you thought finding something in the -80 C would be quick so you just put on regular gloves?

[Tess Whitwam @twhitwam1]

Everyone should check out this awesome new lab! Great mentor and exciting science!

[Megan McCurry @microbe_megan]

Not me joking in the lab about how my rent is going up but @Harvard refuses to increase our stipends to reflect the inflation rate, so I plan to just buy less food and learn to photosynthesize

[Kelsey Clausing @kelsey_clausing]

Made some low-quality @BioRender valentines for my high-quality labmates 🙃

These MAGA protestors violently storming the capitol are, quite literally, terrorists. This is the definition of terrorism.

[Wayne @Toaster_Pastry]

Patients ask me if they should get the COVID vaccine. I say, I did, and with the exception of craving human brain I have suffered no side effects. Judging by their response, I will retire that joke.
