For the past year, I’ve been working with @KJEHickman & @SciPolRev editors Jenny Cascino & @michdoesscience to write a review paper on the potential of fungal research for informing policy, and today it’s live! I’m so proud of our piece! Check it out: sciencepolicyreview.pubpub.org/pub/av7npje2

For a story about biking in Boston, the Globe is looking to speak with people who have started biking in the city in the last year to find out what the experience has been like. trib.al/YVPkX4o

@Somervillennial The officer said he had “never heard” of an Idaho stop

@Somervillennial I got a citation yesterday for an Idaho Stop at a red light…

meanwhile, the Somerville cops were busy pulling me over for biking through the walk signal (no pedestrians crossing!) at Somerville and Park so that I could safely make a left turn

Very grateful for the opportunity to share my work at #TropMed23 thanks to @parasitesrule and @BWFUND. Join me bright and early tomorrow at 8 AM in session 103 to hear all about how translational regulation shapes chronic stage differentiation in Toxoplasma!

It has arrived! The #mpm2023 abstract book is available for download. 🔗parasitesrule.com/mpm-xxxiv

book us for your next picket #unionband @MITGradUnion

@MIT we have a message for one of your admins- Hey Ian Waitz, I wanna know, will you raise our pay?

The energy was wild today at the picket - 100s of grad workers over 9 hours. Thanks to everyone who came out. It is clear that MIT grad workers will fight for what we need. We make this institute run and deserve higher wages, better benefits, real recourse, and union shop!!!

Our rendition of ghostbusters! Who you gonna call, our union!!! For bad advisors, low wages, overworking - the whole gamut!

choose your own adventure! run into bulldozer or merge with speeding traffic… how are you supposed to bike safely on Vassar? @cambikelanes @CambMA @MIT

Thanks to everyone who voted so far, we are so close to taking the lead!!! Let’s win by a huge margin! Vote for #VEuPathDB now. #PlasmoDB #TriTrypDB #ToxoDB #CryptoDB #GiardiaDB #AmoebaDB #FungiDB #Vectorbase #TrichDB #HostDB #MicrosporidiaDB #OrthoMCL 🗳️herox.com/dataworks/roun…

@celizotte the cycling hero we don’t deserve

@michdoesscience this was your "lady if i was a truck you wouldn't be doing that" moment youtu.be/MVkAD_zHsJY

New cycling achievement unlocked on my commute: as I patiently wait at the School St - Somerville Ave light, an SUV turns towards me, rolls down their window, and proceeds to argue that I am “in their fucking way” as they’re trying to drive THE WRONG WAY DOWN A ONE WAY STREET

@dianagong9 SAME hahaha

@michdoesscience For a solid year I thought it was saying “past the street” and I still struggle to interpret it as “vassar” 😂

BUT WHO IS THE VOICE BEHIND VASSAH STREET... I will not rest until I know who is responsible for this little bit of happiness in my day

benefits of biking in Somerville include impromptu detours when you hear @honkfest down the street on your way home from work

so proud of our fearless leader @LouridoLab! Feeling lucky to have such an incredible mentor (and forever aspiring to live up to both his science and his keynote aesthetics)
