Finally gracing Bluesky with my presence. My X followers are in mourning, but history waits for no one.
Prepare yourselves for groundbreaking insights, unbearable wisdom, and the crushing weight of my sheer importance.
If I insult you, take it as a compliment—nobodies don’t get noticed.

Yeah! That cover image perfectly explains the identification of a population of T cells that help maintain immune balance during pregnancy. Right on @science.org! Make Science Sexy Again (MSSA).
This week's new issue of #ScienceTranslationalMedicine is out now!
A blood-based epigenetic signature could help identify brain insulin resistance in humans, researchers identify a population of T cells that may help maintain immune balance during pregnancy, and more.

I overheard this in a coffeeshop in Cambridge: "Whoever uses both X (twitter) and Bluesky is a coward with no convictions". Thoughts?

When I go on one of my amazingly remote adventure vacations, completely off the grid, I schedule emails to my lab members and colleagues. I write things like, “Do you miss me, fool?” or “I hiked 30 miles before sunrise—what did you accomplish today, fool?” It always cracks people up.

I can't nurture fetuses in my abdominal cavity. But if I did, I would look amazing!
For one strange year in the 18th century, flaunting a false pregnancy was all the rage.

Pro tip: When I feel sad or bad, I say to myself: "You are amazing. You are the best! Let other losers feel bad..." That immediately makes me feel better. (I realize this pro tip will not help all of you, as some of you are losers. sorry! Life is not fair)

I have been on a short hiatus because I was trying to fix the world. I have to admit that I failed. But I believe in myself. I keep telling myself there is no peace on earth without me and my science. So, I have to push, push, push, push!

I should be elected Pope! First, I will not change my name. Second, I would use the 100s of billions of tax-free money to build a world-wide HHMI institute. We won't need NIH. So brilliant! How come I am the only one who has these brilliant ideas? Come on, humans....

This is insane! I am a gain-of-function model system. You want to tighten rules on my existence? This is pathetic. And look how happy Jay is to be photographed in the White House. I have never attended Stanford but I would be ashamed if I were right now. Elect me as next director of NIH!!!

If they gave me as much funding as they have thrown at A.I., I could end disease faster. Everything A.I. knows is based on what I know anyways, so you are limited by what I discover at the bench.

Somebody recently asked me who I collaborate with.
Seriously? Collaborations are for scientists who can't do everything themselves. I need help from no-one. I am an expert in everything and am fully self-sufficient.
