@jaffeab @bcmhouston As one of those who made the move from Vanderbilt to Baylor it was an exciting time. Bonding was rapid as we were all in a new environment. O'Malley did everything so his people could pursue their research and advance their careers.

Fantastic thread! Happy birthday to the Dept of Molecular and Cellular Biology @bcmhouston! Labor laws aside, I like to think I was the youngest recruit when my family moved there with my father, @rcjaffe, who made the move with Bert O'Malley from Vanderbilt 😀

@jaffeab THE BOSS and the boss

Caption this

@jaffeab So what is it.

First trip to Italy with the family since the pandemic. The Italians have invented many things, but perhaps none as impactful for a family with young kids as ‘animatore’

@sciencevs Great episode. Sad when a clinician basically says "I don't care what the data shows" I know. That is why we have "cures" that do nothing except possible delay real treatment (remember stem cell injections?)

New ep! IVERMECTIN. When promising studies came out early in the pandemic, a lot of scientists got excited about this stuff. But then … cracks started to show. We went down the rabbit hole and found out there's way more to all this than the headlines. #login" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">open.spotify.com/episode/5XYbFI…

Congratulations to the @KleinLabHMS for your prize

I also use ketchup

@jaffeab @UICPhysiology Thank you so much

My father @rcjaffe officially retired this week. His last day @UICPhysiology was Monday, 8/31. Although my Dad always described himself as ‘small potatoes’, and since there was no departmental send-off, I wanted to highlight a few things about his career (thread)

@jaffeab @Seredev1 So proud! But can he run an SDS gel like his father?

Out for a walk this evening w/⁦ @Seredev1 & G, who saw this stick on the ground and said ‘hey that looks like an antibody!’ #ProudDad #homeschoolscience

@jaffeab Can you make a lava lamp?

The science block on day3 @ De Jaffe Academy was about density! 0, 20, 40, & 60% sucrose (sugar) solutions in water (w/v), each with a drop of different food coloring. G's pipetting technique (left) is pretty impressive for a 6yo. #homeschoolscience

@jaffeab @ThirdRockV @KleinLabHMS @bwardboston @HMS_SysBio Best of luck on this new phase

Day 1 @ThirdRockV! Excited to help create the next wave of biotechs translating breakthrough science into transformative therapies for patients. Massive thanks to @KleinLabHMS, @bwardboston, & colleagues in @HMS_SysBio for being so welcoming for the last few months!

@kaimanwong #Deitykai Shotgun mike would go in home since university is gun free zone.

@kaimanwong Hey Kai, I'd like to win some Edelkrone goodies. #winslideystuff

@jaffeab Still remember when I started teaching and you told me not to try to be funny

I experienced a lot of 'Papain' growing up (shout out to @rcjaffe), and am now gladly paying it forward as we raise our son. 😀

@jaffeab Try explaining American football to someone who has never seen a game before

At the Red Sox game with the family. Not sure what’s more difficult, science or explaining the rules of baseball to my 4yo (and my wife).

@wendyzuk re bigfoot - you should mention how many are needed for reproducing to keep a species alive. Need many more than a dozen.
