Our latest study is now published @JCI_insight and OMG WE GOT THE COVER! 😱😱😱 Congrats to my amazing postdoc @ChengTao_PKD for this herculean effort (~5 yrs), and to @LangnerEP for the beautiful image that made the cover 😍 Lemme tell you about our study real quick👇
Every year Canada will rank among the top 5 countries for best quality of life. Every year this angers conservatives.
🔬 From Lab to Life 🌎 : At WashU, research doesn’t stop at discovery—it drives impact in St. Louis and beyond. Because health, equity, and possibility can’t wait. The need is now, so the urgency must be as well. bit.ly/4f1z7qC
The new @NIH limit of 6 proposals a year is just another way of limiting funding. Last year that I had to submit 5 in one cycle (4 to NIH). I didn't do it for shits and giggles, it's because I HAD to. And no, I never used AI... just blood, sweat and tears (mostly tears).
R21 ✅ R01 NHLBI ✅ R01 NHLBI #2 ✅ R01 NIDDK ✅ Dept. of Defense ✅ Five (!) grants submitted this June/July cycle. Personal record (NOT a humblebrag). I'm freakin exhausted. The mechanism of funding for science sucks 🤬 Is it too early in the day to start?

#cilia - that’s how the light gets in 💡 Welcome to the Light Side, young Padawan!
So apparently a lot of people don't know this, but your Rods and Cones in your eyeballs all contain Microtubule Cilia So some of the first interactions that light has with your Conscious perception, is in Microtubules - that's a big clue
