Massive 10+ year effort in lab spearheaded by @leonardoaparrar and Kayal (secret account 🤔). Unreal cover by @EmmaVIDALL that says it all.

"So let’s see what the FDA does now. That’ll depend on who replaces Vinay Prasad, how much of a loon they are, and how much they’re willing to make decisions like this" science.org/content/blog-p…

"I wonder if we do not waste most of our energy just by spending every waking minute saying hello to ourselves" Annie Dillard on Unselfconsciousness themarginalian.org/2026/03/07/ann… via @mariapopova

“I’ve had federal funding in the past, but right now I don’t,” he says. “To be honest, I’d be happy to find a rich person, but one with better morals than Jeffrey Epstein” science.org/content/articl…

"There’s a constant background noise of “promising clinical results” stories in the news, but people generally don’t get a chance to see how few of those lead anywhere" The Best Ideas Are Not Always Enough | Science | AAAS science.org/content/blog-p…

Since grad school interviews are happening, here's some things you should probably not say to faculty interviewer: - "why don't you tell me a little bit about your research?" - "yeah yeah...seen it all, know what y're saying" - "UCSD is ok, but really..." - "so...who's your PI?"

"My student’s feedback prompted me to think why I pursued career in academia in first place. I recalled the excitement I felt as a postdoc, when curiosity was king...I lost sight of this when I was consumed by problems and fears under the tenure clock" science.org/content/articl…

Have you checked out the SCGE platform site? There is a lot of great information available! 1) Use the publicly accessible Gene Therapy Clinical Trial Browser to find information on gene therapy development from a variety of sources. (1/3) scge.mcw.edu/platform/data/…

"What I wish for now is no longer happiness but simply awareness… I hold onto the world with every gesture, to men with all my gratitude and pity" themarginalian.org/2026/01/26/alb…

"I might not have felt the need to step away from academia had we aimed for a lower impact journal...success isn’t solely a matter of high-impact papers...its tracing a path that isn’t defined by what others expect of me" science.org/content/articl…

Annie Dillard in An American Childhood. All great writers are ultimately Yogis.

Full pdf @iScience_CP collab w/ @christlet cell.com/action/showPdf… I may go down y'all but this was the best thing I wrote: DECLARATION OF GENERATIVE AI AND AI-ASSISTED TECHNOLOGIES IN THE WRITING PROCESS "No AI/AI-assisted tools were used in the writing process"

"More recently, I've also noticed trainees don't spend time thinking on their own and only do so when prodded" Didn't want to sound like dad in interview...BUT I think this is due to passive consumption of media. Specifically excessive cell phone usage.: journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13…

American author Joan Didion once said: “I write entirely to find out what I am thinking.” What happens when we stop writing? Do we stop finding out? theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

End of #EaglesvsBills example of how decisions are made on emotion and not stats. 2pt conversion is coin toss at best but field goal is almost sure (~90% sure). Why choose 2 pt? Ego.

Looking forward to #2026
