Professor at @ucdavis.bsky.social. Here for science and 'connexting'. But, I'm still lurking on Twitter to monitor the chaos of the nasty world.
Former Obama advisor, Ben Rhodes, is absolutely right!

You can't trust someone who’s an AIPAC puppet to lead with integrity on issues like healthcare or education. If they sell out on war and genocide, they'll sell out anywhere!

Had a great time at the Heart Rhythm Society meeting! It was my first invitation to speak at a cardiac-focused meeting, presenting our recent work on connexins and arrhythmias. Plus, there were free lattes and drinks, and, as usual, San Diego was fantastic!

Nobel laureate Maria Ressa:

"What rights you lose today, you will not get back."

"If you value your rights, you stand up for them. You hold the line."

"Silence is complicity, silence gives approval to create a new normal."

No matter how much institutions like Columbia comply, this administration will still label professors as the enemy (check out Vance's full presentation in the comments)

Any ideas for a sign with this guy’s face on March 7?

If you think this is only about pro-Palestine protests...you’re either naive, stupid, or complicit in this disaster

I’m heading to Chile for a scientific meeting right after March 7. Finally, a place where I can afford to eat eggs without taking out a second mortgage!

The lab needed a break from all this craziness. Some joined @doctheagrif.bsky.social l and me for a fun ski day at Tahoe!

My daughters are huge fans of the @ucdavis.bsky.social mascot and the women's basketball team. So naturally, they made sure they got a starring role in this ad for the next basketball game. Go Aggies!

Had a fantastic time at UT Austin for a seminar—great science, amazing colleagues, and delicious modern Mexican cuisine. Usually, I’m the photobomber, but the couple behind us stole my job…though they took their role very seriously! 😄
