Very excited to show off our latest data. Videos hot off the microscope! Come see what crazy things cells of al types are up to tomorrow!
Cells can hunt prey, solve mazes, and learn from past experience. Does this mean they can think, at some level? Find out more at our upcoming session on "Cell Behavior and Cognition" at the ASCB/EMBO #cellbio2025 meeting, Saturday 1-3 pm rm 115.

Into collective behavior? Looking to learn more? There isn’t a better place than the school @zamakany.bsky.social hosts yearly. Excited to be speaking again next year.
Konstanz school of Collective Behavior will take place again from 20th July to 7th August , 2026. We have an amazing line up of speakers covering state of the art research on collective behavior across systems. Application deadline : March 15th

Doctor Crusher was my first scientist role model. It’s touching that she’s the very first part to assemble in the NCC-1701-D LEGO set.

My office orchid bloomed for the first time in years to celebrate today. Happy Thanksgiving!

Curious about or committed to collective behavior? Please register and submit your abstract ASAP! We are hoping to have a big crowd in Heidelberg in February.
Have you submitted your abstract for #EESCollectivity? No? It's about time! This new event will discuss how collective behaviours arise from fundamental principles across biological systems, from cells to animal groups. 🦠🐾

👉 Join us and submit your abstract by 18 Nov: s.embl.org/ees26-01-bl

The tunnel from the Main Terminal to Terminal A/B at IAD is one of my favorite finds of the year. Quiet ad free walk time.

Love America and want to see us be great again? Remember, here we have no kings!

See you Saturday.
THIS WEEKEND! Join us for No Kings Day nationwide, across 50 states, in DC and Puerto Rico, and internationally! We're standing up for science and democracy, and in solidarity with fired federal workers.

Security at ZRH was not amused by all the cheese I stuffed inside the large cratered moon vase I have been carrying across Europe.

One more flight until the moon, cheese, and I are all home!

I am on hold with the IRS and the representative has “picked up” so I’m out of the queue but isn’t responding. Lost 30 minutes in line.

After three hours waiting last night to find out I was routed to the wrong department.

Government efficiency.

PSA for others who are also immunosuppressed and interested in trying mNexSpike: flagging you are immunosuppressed and getting a confirmation saying you’re scheduled for mNexSpike is insufficient to guarantee that’s what’s in the syringe. Check and ask for what you want!
