@landonjzachary @NorthwellHealth Congratulations, Landon! Proud of you.

Excited to be starting my anesthesiology elective today at Northwell Health Danbury Hospital! I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to learn from such a talented group of attending anesthesiologists at @NorthwellHealth Anesthesiology. #Anesthesiology #Match2027

U for Ubiquitin: Ubiquitin acts as a molecular "kiss of death" tag that enzymes covalently attach to misfolded or damaged proteins to mark them for destruction. These tagged proteins are then recognized and degraded by the proteasome, which shreds them into peptides.

@lerdog @Realitytv__fan Agree. Civilian versions around the world are most compelling when they include people with a true variety of backgrounds, experiences, and ages.

@Realitytv__fan Why do they all look like stock photo models? lol and they’re mostly the same age group with little variety, not a single old woman, for example. Kinda of a boring looking cast, ngl, but we’ll see in the season proper

The rumored cast of The Traitors US season 5, the first ever all civilian season, coming this fall to NBC. #TheTraitors #TheTraitorsUS

We are looking for motivated postdocs to join our lab starting Spring 2027 to study the Hsp70 Chaperone Code and Proteostasis, see here for more details: trumanlab.org/open-positions

@J2daJones Also true for life. Survivor really is a microcosm.

This season of #Survivor50 is teaching the fans that survivor ability and placement are not always positively correlated . Some players you think are bad just had bad luck in the game. Some folks you swear were the best may just have had some good luck with a good edit

@omarzaheerdvm Loved your episode recap last night, but missed opportunity to rebrand the Fishy as the Birdie :)

It’s crazy how Emily turned on every single person in this tribe and still manages to be the swing vote wanted by all #survivor50 icon

@maxdkozlov Are the effects on careers being quantitatively tracked somewhere? Numbers of layoffs, labs closing, promotion/tenure denials, etc? We are still at the early stages of the impacts on people's lives, livelihoods, and scientific output.

The impact is already hitting science agencies hard. The NIH—the world's largest public biomedical research funder—has had to rely on leftover stopgap funds. New grant awards have slowed to a trickle — exacerbating the effects of a record-long shutdown in October.

Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers. The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇 For @Nature: nature.com/articles/d4158…

@Rick_Devens I hope you brought your towel

Any "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" fans out there? #Survivor50

@Eri_RS_Sakata Congratulations, Eri and team! Beautiful work!

I have stopped posting on social media, but this is a special occasion. I am glad to share that our work has been published in Science Advances! We made it work through great collaborations with outstanding colleagues. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
