Beautiful animation of metabolic flux in the mitochondrial Kreb (TCA) cycle The three "CO2" coming off the cycle is how you lose weight: carbon from your material body coming off as gas you end up breathing out By @janetiwasa
The irony of using NIH indirects to attack “woke” universities is that biomedical scientists are the least ideologically committed group on campus. They are as a collective consummate wind followers with no moral core who will abandon anything and anyone when placed under stress.
Your math is wrong dude. Let me get this straight. All this time you thought a that an indirect cost rate of 60% meant that Universities took 60% of the grant? 🤦♂️
Can you believe that universities with tens of billions in endowments were siphoning off 60% of research award money for “overhead”? What a ripoff!
As a PI, most of my lab skills have deteriorated. I barely know how to do anything in the lab, but I'm pretty good at multi-factor authentication, paperwork, electronic signatures... I also tell myself that I'm good at thinking about the big picture, whatever that means.
Most people misunderstand the Central Dogma. In school, perhaps you were taught it as “DNA → RNA → protein.” But that’s a massive oversimplification. Francis Crick’s real "Central Dogma" was about what *cannot* happen in a cell. Let’s break it down. 🧵
2024 recap: - 2 first-author papers (one published, one under review) - 2 proposal grants submission (one successful, one failed) - 5 conferences (3 oral, 2 posters) - 9 cities, 4 countries, 4 continents
🎁 New RNA-Seq tutorial! Learn to run differential expression analysis with DESeq2, and create your own bioinformatics projects using public data and the Expression Atlas. Link in the next tweet because Twitter hates links.
How to write a grant? 1. Write it for the reviewer, not you, the applicant. 2. Communicate in stories. 3. Make your story cohesive—leave no puzzling gaps. 4. Make your story resonate to keep the reviewer reading. 5. Accept chance and noise in peer-review. pnas.org/doi/epub/10.10…
Here is a comparison between Qubit and nanodrop for 39 total RNA samples (from petal tissues).
