National lab scientist studying cancer drug resistance through machine learning techniques centered around integration of mass spec (e.g. #proteomics technologies). Recreational skier/climber exploring the Pacific Northwest. Views my own.⛷️🧗🏼👩🏼‍🔬
After a very frustrating weekend of editing a manuscript by a junior scientist who really. liked. words. I ordered and gifted a new copy of Strunk and White. Probably the single most satisfying thing I've done all month! #elementsofstyle #scientificwriting #allwritingreally #mentorship

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

An important message from my wife, a leading breast imaging researcher, and a 10+ year survivor of invasive breast cancer found because she knew enough to advocate for her own effective breast cancer screening.
Today is #WorldDenseBreastDay! Educate yourself and those you love about the higher risks of missed cancer on mammograms and of developing breast cancer. Great resources @densebreastinfo.bsky.social @densebreastscanada.bsky.social. Thank you @bcrfcure.bsky.social for supporting our research!

So I missed the boat on making a #30under30 or #40under40 list, but today I just learned that there's a #50over50 list so I have all sorts of new career goals: www.forbes.com/50over50/

Just landed in Cambridge, MA for the @asbmb.bsky.social meeting on #proteomics and found my coworkers at #PNNL. Come find us to talk about how we’re using proteomics in biological research!

So well said: every scientific finding is built upon the science of others - you start breaking the American scientific engine and everyone will suffer: scientists, industry, doctors, voters, etc. It is all linked together.
For those wondering and reaching out: thank you, truly. We are amongst the lucky ones, we are ok - for now. But the reality is that no one is an island. Research is stellar because it is an ecosystem, a fragile one at that, as we are learning. So we won't be fine, if no one else is. We all lose

More than 90 scientists at the National Institutes of Health signed a letter in protest of Trump administration policies they say are harming people’s health, in a rare sign of open resistance by career government employees.
NIH scientists have been angry for months. Now some are rebelling.

I think it's important to continuously reiterate that federal science funding grants in the US (and elsewhere) are made because the government, with the input of panels of independent experts, have concluded that the work being done is IN THE INTEREST OF THE NATION.
When the Trump administration froze this Nobel Prize–winning neuroscientist's research funding, he received an email from China offering to relocate his lab to any city and university of his choice, with guaranteed funding for 20 years.

I realize that as a retired professor I have a responsibility to say more on this than I have.

International students are essential to the fiscal bottom line of almost every university. This is an unambiguous attempt to destroy Harvard—permanently.

And he won’t stop with Harvard. This is madness.

Elevating this so that it gets more eyes. This type of grant termination, with no scientific cause or warning, will not only decimate our scientific infrastructure but will have horrific consequences downstream for drug development and subsequently human health.
Yesterday, the NIH R35 “Outstanding Investigator” grant to fund scientists in my lab studying antibiotic resistance was terminated for reasons not related to the content of the science, or any actions taken by me or members of my lab

NEW @npr.org: ~100 days in, what has DOGE actually done?

It hasn't delivered on its promised savings, efficiency or transparency in meaningful ways.

But Elon Musk's DOGE *has* amassed unprecedented power over data.

A deep dive with @shannonbond.bsky.social:
What has DOGE done in Trump's first 100 days?
One hundred days into President Trump's second term, DOGE hasn't delivered on its promised savings, efficiency or transparency in meaningful ways. But it has amassed unprecedented power over data.
