We can’t wait to welcome you, @k00kumar! You’re joining an amazing 16 new interns in our TIP physician scientist program! 👀 @StanfordMedRes @StanfordDeptMed

It's #MatchDay! Please join us in welcoming our 2026-2027 intern class! Welcome to the Stanford Department of Medicine! @StanfordMedRes is thrilled to have you! ❤️🥳🎉🤩🍾 @Ron_Witteles @StanfordDeptMed #Match2026

I'm so excited to be joining the @StanfordMedRes + Physician Scientist (TIP) at the @StanfordDeptMed this summer!

Artificial intelligence has been used to uncover hidden allergens within the trillions of microbes living in the human body, offering insight into why some people develop allergies while others do not. Full story 👇 🧪⚙️🌱🔋 #ChemicalEngineering #Biotechnology

FTX Chapter 11 Updates - 3AC 🏹🧵 1. FTX Objects to 3AC’s $1.5B Claim Expansion FTX filed a strong objection to the 3AC Liquidators’ motion to amend claims. 3AC seeks to balloon their $120M claim to $1.5B, citing newly discovered facts. FTX calls this a baseless “do-over” attempt post-deadline. 🚨

The Li + Durbin 2011 paper showing that you can infer an entire population history from just a single genome is still one of the most mind-blowing results in genetics I have ever seen. nature.com/articles/natur…

Very sad to read about the MIT graduate student killed by a truck on Friday when she was riding her bike in Cambridge. Minh-Thi Nguyen, 24, was a 3rd-year graduate student studying experimental physics. bostonglobe.com/2024/06/23/met… She was awarded a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship earlier this year.

Congrats to @li_chenhao and @mstrazar07! Happy to have played a small part. Here’s a nice feature of this work: nature.com/articles/d4158… And the article here: bit.ly/4cGpnjW

Discovery of gut microbiome constituents that lower cholesterol levels that may be used to reduce risk for heart disease cell.com/cell/abstract/… @li_chenhao @TheXavierLab @broadinstitute @CellCellPress

Very insightful piece from an excellent provider

Finally made a triple venn diagram I can be proud of

I’m hiring a #postdoc! We’re looking for someone to join our team @dartmouth in @thayerschool with expertise in microfabricating flexible devices for soft tissue #bioelectronics. If this sounds cool please reach out (and retweet)! sites.dartmouth.edu/regenerative-b… #JobAlert #postdocjobs
