We regularly get three agricultural ms applicants from Bangladesh (eg) for open positions that require a PhD. The issue is that everyone wants to be in three or four geographic locales. If applicants are more flexible, they can find positions.

Time to return to the flock? 🤠

It’s a good inducing system for gene expression? Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater man. Tet off vectors rule!

haven't been to the theaters in 12 years. no thanks.

Haven’t seen it yet. But will because it’s fucking pta. There will be blood remains my favorite by him. I assume it remains only in theaters? I don’t go there. Movies are meant to be watched from a laptop. In bed. In underwear. With beer. I think Scorsese said this?

Be nice to greenwood. He has tinnitus.

Aaron is coming in a couple months. Hope to hear—not in talk form—about your work. Let’s catch up soon! Hope you are enjoying the non-Texas weather.

It is very familiar. I have dealt with this nonsense for 15 years. Please don’t sully the reputation of my Alma mater with bullshit. Thanks.

I’m glad I didn’t follow your faculty market proposal/chalk talk advice. I would have received more offers. And I might not be at UTSW. And this would suck. Oh. And my dp2 ordered my projects as you recommended for job pitch. Wash-out of good/bad advice I think. So. Don’t owe you anything.

This is great. Glad you joined us yeehaws in the beautiful state of Texas! And glad we can enjoy this lucky moment in the sun together. —apologies for the informality. I know we haven’t met. But @boeynaemssteven.bsky.social vouches for you. That is all I need to know to call you a friend.

My proposal, like most DP2s, was pie in the sky stuff that I thought we would disprove quickly. Yet, we have not. This is thanks to our incredible postdoc, Shefali Banerjee, who is moving toward mic drop/textbook territory. We are in replication and red team/blue team territory now. Stay tuned.

Don’t trigger me with your gen z jiffys on my big embargoed press release day. Cmon man.

Fantastic. I will take this as inspiration for my lab to prove you wrong in the court of scientific opinion. Enjoy.

As an expert on tau aggregation and stress granules…someone who has tried but failed to reproduce key findings with rigor and lack of bias…I am providing constructive discussion. Happy to eat crow if you provide a strong argument. It would certainly help me with funding.

Sure. Not all science is reproducible. This is hype science. Buzzwords combined. No mechanism. Sound and fury, no meaning.

When did stress granules become associated with tau aggregation? 🧐
