We hope everyone is safe and sound in the wake of Beryl! Be sure to check road closures and flood maps if you need to drive. 🙏 To all the TMC newcomers - fellows, students, faculty - welcome to summers in the Bayou ⛈️ See below for preparedness guides 🧵

@delia_analytik Pretty sure that is a male mosquito. We tend to homogenize them in my lab prior to bioanalysis. But direct whole body sampling is a new approach… At least from the angle that he is on with the orifice, he can’t poop directly in the inlet, so that is a plus!

Nooo...my worst nightmare.

@mattlanza @Sensei_Starr Cat 1 / Cat 2 doesn’t matter at all. The Braes Bayou was within 1 foot of breaching her banks. If that would have happened, then the conversation in Meyerland, Rice Village, Bellaire and the TMC would have been very different today. Thank God the banks were high enough!

@Sensei_Starr I haven’t seen enough data to be honest. I suppose it’s possible.

A thread w/ a few things to say about Beryl and Houston and my own messaging. If you don't live in Houston, you do not understand Houston. People here are SKIDDISH about storms. And for justifiable reasons. This place has had disaster after disaster in recent years. 1/15

@hardingwealth @DarkKnight1e This response is awesome!!

@DarkKnight1e Respectfully, Batman, you couldn't afford the Batmobile without the help of your rich parents.

Just wrapped a client meeting. Female. 73 and healthy. 2 adult kids (age 42 and 47). 13 year old grandson. Plenty of money for her comfortable retirement. The conversation was mostly focused on estate planning and encouraging her to feel okay giving money to her adult kids. Here's what I said to her: "Think about life 20 years from now. You're 93... Your kids are in their 60s and your grandson is 33. Then they'll inherit your money. However, at that time everyone is fairly settled into who they are and what they'll become. Now compare that with a gift today. Your kids are at a place in their lives where a financial gift can have a trajectory-altering impact. Consider the ripple effects of removing a bit of financial stress from the parents of a 13 year old. I'll help ensure your needs are met for the rest of your life, but if you see an opportunity to help the people who matter to you, seize it."

Our 2024 calendar in the wild! 😍

@twitpeet @volcaholic1 Just, climate change… I think Ole Abe would be exasperated about so very many things at this point…

@volcaholic1 I think this is striking. Molten Abraham looks like he's exasperated with trying to explain about climate change....

A wax sculpture of Abraham Lincoln in Northwest DC has melted due to the heat....🥵 Before and after..... Quote from the artist Sandy Williams to the Intelligencer.... "I previously had joked that when our climate gets bad enough to where we are living in an environment where the ambient heat melts these sculptures, that’s when this work becomes an environmental artwork. I didn’t know that was going to be this summer."

I know that paper @micromindy ! It is awesome when you get to see a key figure from your one of your publications featured in a talk in person - and it is really cool when it is in the gut-brain-axis section of the IHMC meeting in Rome, Italy.

@BBGreatMoments Every day of the baseball season between 1985 and 1993! Rarely ever missed checking the box scores for my favorite player - Kirby Puckett.

Did you ever do this?

@ProteomicsNews @BioanalysisZone Congrats on the Award!

@BBGreatMoments That is pretty much how I bowl!!

@gnuman1979 Glad the casings around the lithium batteries held!

What are the chances?

The Space Omics and Medical Atlas (SOMA) package, published across Nature Portfolio journals, provides insights into how spaceflight affects human biology. It represents the largest compendium of data for aerospace medicine and space biology to date. go.nature.com/4bWzEaP

Our Proteomics summer school is back for 2024! Don't want to miss it this year as we have some cool group research planned! The link below works even though it says 2023 :) proteomics.ucdavis.edu/events/2023-ha…

If you have experienced any form of career interruption - apply! I can’t sponsor visas for this position, but if you had to interrupt to care for a family member, disease, or have a child (or two or three) apply!

@nursekelsey Thanks for sharing! Nurses are hero’s in my book!

@GarciaLabMS Too early for the hospitality suite…

We are in full swing at ASMS 2024! Come by Booth #531 and chat with us about unlocking functional insights with metabolomics and learn more about our new S-Wipe stool collection kit #ASMS2024

Excited to announce that Arome will be at ASMS 2024 for the first time as a vendor! We can't wait to meet everyone. Visit us at Booth #531. See you there! #ASMS2024 @AromeScienceInc

@Verukita1 @Gephi Hi Dr Espinoza, yes - I would like to be granted access to your tutorials that you have built for Gephi.
