@utahbioscience Yay! Claire is amazing, and I'm delighted to see she's in the PhD program at the U.

Welcome, Claire Tobin!

When someone asks if you think that you're going to make the grant submission deadline it feels like an invasion of privacy

@Katz_Lab @bscarp84 Nice job, Brandon!

Very excited for my former postdoc @bscarp84. Looking forward to hearing about all of the amazing science!

@sarur2 @UTAustin This is lovely.

“Fighting Trolls and Finding Allies: Scientists on Social Media.” That’s on tap at our next online MDI Science Café on 4/10! Join two science communications pros: former NYTimes climate reporter Andrew Revkin and Maine’s own Elisabeth Marnik, Ph.D. ow.ly/FInG50Nn9YK

Registration is open for the 50th Annual Maine Biological and Medical Sciences Symposium! #MBMSS, held April 21-22 here at #MDIBL, is a statewide gathering for scientists at all levels. Did we mention that registration is completely free? mdibl.org/conference/50t…

@MAnderson74 Wow!

Went back out a couple of hours later and it did NOT disappoint! #norrsken #NorthernLights #aurora #norrtälje

@BembenekLab Damn, this one is GQ-level. I was informed that they needed to do a retake. Nope, that is precisely what I look like and I promise it isn't going to get better.

Am I the only one who finds professional photos painful?! #ProfessionalPhotoFAIL

@GeneticsGSA @LaurenMMcIntyr1 DALL-E, create a tree of life image in the style of derp.

After 2 years of dreaming, we realize the outcome. The @mesoSPIM is functional @MDIBL. Support from @NIGMS, @voigtvision, @FritjofHelmchen, and @nvladimus was crucial for this success. Full credits to my postdoc @MarkoPende for getting this dream realized. mdibl.org/an-extraordina…

Sometimes a new tool can spur a scientist to unexpected discoveries. @MDIBL’s Emily Spaulding, Ph.D., is using advanced “super-resolution” microscopy to peer deep within the active cells of C. elegans: ow.ly/cvVL50LHrXU ow.ly/NZ4e50LHrJJ

@TriggerLoop Your arborists are keepers. When we first moved to Maine, we inherited a plow guy who obliterated the kid's snowman, got his truck stuck, and had to call his son to tow him out. The snowman was six feet tall, and IN OUR BACK YARD - no where close to the drive.
