Doctuh Moses

Hello new followers! My name is Malcolm Moses and I'm a PhD candidate training under @rrbehringer. Ready to see some of my favorite field moments in dev bio? This is a friend I met living in a water tanker that a colony of bats were resting in

As this is a delicate political moment, in which words are being weaponized, can we get some of the language right? DIVERSE is a feature of a group, not a person! A person is what they are. There is no such thing as a diverse hire/employee. Thank you. scientificamerican.com/blog/voices/di…

@Patrick83802944 @IanCopeland5 Ironically, the point of this whole post is that there isn't a human study. That was the evidence you were challenged to go find, so how bout you show me the human study?

@WeDontProve @IanCopeland5 How do you know show me the human study

This is where we are. We have an actor, Mel Gibson, and a podcaster, @joerogan, making claims about Ivermectin curing Stage 4 ancer. The minute you ask for evidence, it's a problem. Please cite the study that shows Ivermectin effectively treats stage 4 cancer. NOT IN VITRO STUDIES OR ANIMAL MODELS. IN A LIVING CANCER PATIENT!!! Im going to get every excuse in the world, but no evidence...

@Patrick83802944 @IanCopeland5 If you click the [67] by the sentence and read that article you'll see that "in vivo" in this case is mice with those same cells from the in vitro part injected into them. No patient data. Drugs do this well and then fail to be effective in humans every year

@IanCopeland5 You really are an absolute 🤡

Many Black scientists fall through the cracks during their postdoc; I almost did myself. Last month, 70+ @natblackpostdoc members met for the 1st time to strengthen our community.🙏🏾RT to help us reach new members/sponsors so we can continue to grow no matter the political climate

@thesilvalab Glad to know outlook will stage an intervention when I'm too far gone

I'm not sure if I should be happy or concerned that even my email is starting to look out for me. 😅

@sarur2 @ScienceAdvances The speed I ran to my keyboard with after reading this title was obscene. Gonna be deep-diving piRNA for the rest of the week

It seems like on a daily basis I'm deeply moved by my students and their journeys

@CagneyElayna @BeckerLabCRTD That's a quest

@BeckerLabCRTD 20 min walk.. up 4 flights of stairs.. then down two.. then across a bridge and two streets 😭😭.. I’m down a belt size 😵‍💫🫣

This walk to my fishroom is hell 😂😂😂😂 like I hate it sooo bad… 😂😂😂😂

Random thoughts about confidence intervals: When we teach precision & accuracy, we often use images of a target, like these from the Wikipedia article: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accuracy_… But I think this analogy leads to confusion about the interpretation of the confidence interval. 1/4

Back in the mouse room after a year of exclusively teaching. Nice to be at the bench, but I really did not expect to stick with this model system for as long as I have

@rkmille @ColeFrancesca Congratulations! It's gonna be a good time for G&E

I am tremendously grateful to @ColeFrancesca, our current Program Director, and Amy Carter, our Program Manager, for their mentorship and friendship over that past two years. I am looking forward to working closely with Amy and George Eisenhoffer to enrich the G&E community.

A thread with a ton of Ph.D., PostDoc, and other opportunities for life science students (1/n)

Who knows a tomato quantitative geneticist that I can connect with? Thanks.

I will remind people that the NIH proposed exactly such a system TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO, but it was killed by a combination of lobbying from AAAS, NEJM and many other societies, and by senior scientists letting them get away with it. collections.nlm.nih.gov/catalog/nlm:nl…

@CagneyElayna Can't have that *insert shameless hbcu plug* cause I know some places that would LOVE to have you if they can afford your expertise (admittedly big IF)

@WeDontProve Honestly I’m shocked too.. that’s why I stayed so long.. thinking it was some fluke shit and couldn’t be real.. but nah.. it was real

I spent basically the end of last year and the beginning of this one.. establishing spinal cord lines in the lab, executing transTango in the lines, learning and executing ephys in the lines, wrapping up edits and resubmitting my manuscript.. And 1/n

@CagneyElayna I'm so shocked to find out this has been your experience. You're gonna shine so bright in a space where you're truly respected.

I knew before this I was going but I felt nervous.. after tho… I rather do it nervous and unsure then do another day there

For all those who think DEI hiring in academia is a significant threat.

@MadS100tist Same

Ok, y'all told me I didn't need to be perfect, so here it is. A call for book chapters for a tentatively titled volume: Black In The Ivory: Maneuvering the Academy In Our Own Words. This volume seeks to share the experiences of current Black doctoral students and graduates. Yes, im nervous to share, but let’s be brave today! Share with your folks!

Me and the fam had a great time @MDA_UTHGrad celebrating #GSBS60. Great to reconnect with friends and see familiar faces; plus the new dean is a class act #WeareGSBS
