Engineered Serendipity
I believe that some of what we call "luck" is actually the macro result of 1,000s of micro actions.
Your daily habits can put you in a position where "luck" is more likely to strike.
Increase your serendipity surface area.
Engineer your own serendipity.

When people start attacking you as a person with petty insults, instead of engaging with your research & arguments, then you know you’re doing something right.

You can’t be pawsitive without paws.
Also hard to be a proton without pawsitivity (a + subatomic pawticle within the nucleus of an atom)
The “paw”uns are strong this morning.
You can’t have an awwww without a paaaaw.
Ok. I’ll stop.

Migrating cells escape microfluidic mazes, by creating via degradation local gradients of chemoattractants & detecting dead ends (lowest attractant concentration). The flux of attractant matters more than concentration. Great study @robinsall @UofGlasgow

Or as @BenneriahY likes to say “TP53 mutations play Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde in the mouse gut”. Natively, mutant p53 is as helpful as Dr. Jekyll in the gut, but upon confronting the gut microbiome its evil face is exposed, then being as harmful as Mr. Hyde. 2/n

A thread about our study highlighting the tumor suppressive effects of the notorious mutant p53. Our study underscores a remarkable functional plasticity of mutant p53, as well as the instructive role played by the microbiota in moulding this plasticity. 1/n
