Mast cells are total backstabbers. New research shows that during allergic responses, they attract, trap and digest neutrophils, then spew out their captives' inflammatory compounds. I had a blast writing this story for @sciencenews.bsky.social. www.sciencenews.org/article/some...
During an allergic response, some immune cells digest others
Mast cells lure and trap other immune cells during allergic reactions, using their compounds to increase inflammation in a process dubbed nexocytosis

I had a great time reporting and writing this story for Eos! Atmospheric rivers and drought in California are intimately linked. Read more at the link:
Atmospheric rivers soaked California in 2023, dousing the state’s deep drought. 🧪 eos.org/articles/cal...
California Storms Recharged Watersheds, Geodesy Data Reveal - Eos
The atmospheric rivers that soaked the state in early 2023 released enough water to warp the ground and douse a deep drought.

My first story for Stanford Medicine went up today! Stanford Medicine researchers found a gene involved in cardiotoxic chemotherapy side effects, and a drug that could provide relief. med.stanford.edu/news/all-new...
Stanford Medicine study discovers what’s behind heart cell damage from chemotherapy
Researchers used a new screening technique to identify genes involved in heart cell damage during a common chemotherapy treatment. They also found a drug that may be able to prevent it.

Earlier this month, the UCSC SciCom cohort had the opportunity to attend the National Association of Science Writers Conference in Raleigh! I met many incredible writers, and heard informative talks from researchers and science communicators. Already looking forward to Pittsburgh 2025!
