No Kings Protest in Santa Cruz was huge and all peaceful! I've lived here for 13 years and have never seen this kind of turnout for anything before. Im proud of my town!

The fight against fascism is alive and well. Keep it up y'all! #nokings

I am excited to announce that I will be a Postdoc with David Olson's Lab and the Institute of Psychedelics and Neurotherapeutics (IPN) at UC Davis later this summer!

Here's a cool video of what I've been doing for the PhD

So a grants to study - patient derived iPSCs bias towards forming blood brain barrier choroid plexus and its influence on the apical-basal polarization of cerebral cells in organoids - wouldn't be considered for federal funding because it uses words Trump / white supremacists / fascists find scary?

Mistakes were made... 🧪🥼🔬

Anyone else feeling like this for the last few days? 🎨

And yeah, that's Trump colored brainrot, and that sh*ts leaking everywhere

So depending on what video you watch, they may have cut away when Elon did the Nazi salute... but it did happen

Here is a link to NBCs video. It occurs 19sec into the video

I'm sorry to put this further out there more. But mainstream media is not talking about it

Merry Christmas! This is an old experiment I'd do with my high school chemistry students

I liked to call it - The Littlest Christmas Tree! 🎄

This is redox displacement reaction between a strip of copper, whose atoms are reacting with the aqueous nitrate to form dendritic growths of Cu(NO3)2 🧪🔬🥼

The building ripped from the Santa Cruz wharf has washed to shore near the river mouth.

My Cal Fire friend has said that people are okay. But the Coast Guard is still in the water looking for people

It sounds like this was part of the wharf that was already damaged and closed off. (Not confirmed)

Be careful out there
