If what you need in your week is a cockatoo introducing himself to some 19 day old kittens, I have that for you.

Due to NIH cuts I’m on the job market. Computational biologist, data scientist, human geneticist targeting industry in Seattle or remote. Python, R, SQL, Linux cluster computing, command line, data viz plus deep genetics and bio expertise. PhD from Columbia University. Please RT!

This is horrible for science and for the country.

Holy crap. Pancreatic is one of the deadliest cancers. New paper shows personalized mRNA vaccines can induce durable anticancer T cells that attack pancreatic cancer. 75% of patients cancer free at three years.

Hey UNITED HEALTHCARE

@StrangeSource @millerlab You should know how to reach me IRL and if you don’t, message me. And please do reach out.

@StrangeSource @millerlab Don’t be embarrassed this shit is real and we need to watch out for each other.

I bet there are some white guys out there that are doin ok. But not me

@StrangeSource @millerlab Yeah I’m with you there. I’m just not able to process this yet.

@StrangeSource @millerlab I’m in shock I think. I don’t know whether to believe this yet or not.

@millerlab Thank you.

@nparmalee No.

@millerlab Do I have to be productive tomorrow?

@nparmalee At least

What is this shite.

I stopped in here to see what the kerfuffle is about scientific integrity. I have a list I use to keep up w a subset of the people I follow. Today the posts on that list are 100% pornography. This platform is official unusable for me. How sad. Find me at nparmalee.bsky.social

Hello to the people who are still here. I thought I was gonna stay until they shut off the lights but with so many people gone it doesn’t feel like community anymore. I’m over at Bluesky nparmalee.bksy.social My life’s a train wreck right now so come on over if you want to gawk

@DoctorZen I’m over on the butterfly one catching up right now. I’m with you on tik tok. Maybe I should have a look though. If my lab is any indication the kids are alright.

@nparmalee Correct! I think about TikTok occasionally, but I don’t think I’d be good at it.

If I follow you here and I follow you on another platform, I may be unfollowing you here. Other social media platforms are reaching critical mass to be viable alternatives to #AcademicTwitter and #ScienceTwitter. While there is no end in sight to the decay here.

@DoctorZen Is the butterfly Bluesky? This is how out of it I am right now. The younger members of my lab tell me science tik tok is a thing.

@nparmalee 🦋— but 🧵 is experiencing a resurgence and I’m not willing to write it off quite yet.

@BWJones Thank you so much. And right back at you.

@BWJones Our family is dealing with the ravages of a BRCA2 mutation. I can say this. Dying is hard work.
