Cracked me up that "y'all", "roly poly", and "coke" are what cracked the code on where I'm from 😂. So many places take diphthongs *really* seriously

It’s my 7 year anniversary @ucdavisvetmed.bsky.social and I have been a professor for 10.5 years total! It has been an amazing journey so far and I’m lucky to have such a wonderful team to work with. I started my @ucdavis.bsky.social journey on 9/1/2019 and here we are today!

Today I'm posting a new blog! Nearly two hundred papers have muddled the names for different proteins and recorded using the wrong antibody for a range of experiments. This time it's PERK vs. p-ERK. Including researchers from Harvard, the Mayo Clinic, and more. sholto.substack.com/p/perk-vs-p-...

Just had my daily reminder of how wonderful the NIH peeps are who handle all of the work involved in managing grants for those of us out here in extramural land. The NIH staff really are the best humans, working so hard to ensure that the science can continue in incredibly challenging times.
