They are super cute - they were chewing on the bark so they can eat the sap of the tree the next day. It was in a caatinga desert by a small town called Juatama.

What about this rodent? It’s the size of a big dog.

Such an amazing school of metabolomics in Brazil. Such a beautiful county. Thanks for the invite to describe why metabolomics is like reading a book with 93% of words missing.

Switching the clocks twice a year hurts Americans' health. A modeling study of county-level solar light patterns, time policy, health data, and circadian models suggests a permanent shift to Standard Time would reduce obesity and strokes. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Switching from the United States’ current policy to Standard Time reduces overall obesity prevalence more than switching to Daylight Saving Time.

Such awesome day today at UC-Riverside. Got to spend time with two of my science children and their team (science grandchildren). Just so fun thanks to Ming for the pic. And got to go biking with @func-metabo-lab.bsky.social

HT SpaceM: A high-throughput and reproducible method for small-molecule single-cell metabolomics

Single-cell metabolomics (SCM) can probe metabolic heterogeneity but is hindered by low sensitivity for small molecules, limited scalability, and the lack of standardized frameworks for data analysis....

The automation from sample to mass spec to purification to structure elucidation and screening is phenomenal. Driven by data science and sustainability, including growing plants in house. So amazing to see it evolve from that early concept.

It started with a concept of using data science and mass spectrometry for drug discovery with the goal to help people improve quality of their lives enveda.com. Now it’s a 🦄 that is getting a real shot at doing so with great clinical leads and in clinical trials www.youtube.com/watch?v=VafS....
