Nature is amazing, over the weekend I was able to spend time admiring this beautiful place. To me this is the type of cathedral Gaudí was inspired to mimic in his works.

Great starter packs for folks in the #AgingResearch world
Updated Aging Starter Packs to find people and labs who work on aging!!
Aging Starter Pack 1 (already reached the maximum number!): go.bsky.app/5UXXaDA
Aging Starter Pack 2 (can still add!): go.bsky.app/RfFYndJ
Let me know if you'd like to be added! 😀

With today's report outlining risks on mirror life www.science.org/doi/full/10.... many have asked:
Could mirror life survive in the wild?
Yes. While mirror life in the wild could have some significant disadvantages (like finding food it can digest), they do not appear to be insurmountable: 🧵

On The Climate Brink: Stop emissions, stop warming: A climate reality check
This is a crucial point because it determines how much warming is already "locked in" and effectively unavoidable.
The answer is very little warming is locked in.

I worked with FFPE breast tissue from breast cancer patients during my postdoc @buckinstitute.bsky.social and found a lot of great biology underlying the different subtypes of breast cancer. This allowed us to differentiate the subtypes on a molecular level.
Once upon a time, FFPE was considered a death knell for studying molecular biology in archived cancer samples.
So many wonderful advances in this area now make FFPE a rich source for study of RNA, DNA and protein.
Check out this new gem. 💎

Looks like the Bay Area is in for some rain and snow in the mountains. Hopefully the atmospheric river doesn’t stall out over San Francisco like it did in 2022 - it dropped 5.5 inches of rain on New Years Eve.
A strong, prolonged, very moist, and relatively warm #AtmosphericRiver event, in conjunction with rapidly-strengthening #BombCyclone (yes, that's the term!), will bring major rain (and, locally, wind) impacts to OR/NorCal this week. Flooding is likely. #CAwx #ORwx #CAwater [1/6]
