There is a lot of hubbub about RNA vaccines & I'm an RNA biologist 🧵 RNA is the message made from DNA that tells our body what proteins the cell should make. If DNA is the waiter, then RNA is the restaurant ticket to tell the body what dish (protein) to make 1/3

Reading good books is really important to me and I recently wrote the below that discusses how Millennials/Gen Z are reading more, but that these reads are “popular” books from TikTok/Instagram that are more for entertainment than literary value.

Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 was so disappointing. It's like Marvel doesn't trust us to handle our emotions with how often they cut away from emotional scenes with pithy quotes or 80s music Let alone the human trafficking/animal abuse plotlines

I work in an industry where I receive feedback on everything I write numerous times a day. This feedback is constructive and helpful because it doesn't feel like an attack! Feedback in grad school often felt personal for me likely because there was minimal positive feedback

Getting a PhD teaches us how to learn deeply in one topic so that we can continue to do so for the rest of our lives! We do not know everything, but a deep sliver of one thing.
Replying to @ravenscimaven
Stop this ELITIST narrative that people with PhDs know EVERYTHING. We know A LOT about ONE thing, maybe TWO or FOUR things, but every damn thing? No. Learning does NOT stop at the PhD. You learn for life.

With the news about the UK's first three person baby I was reminded that four years ago @steministaspod did a YouTube video on 'What is a three person baby?' and it's still very relevant today! #threepersonbaby youtube.com/watch?v=l9OZ-nJf…

I went to a coffee tasting this morning and had three cups of coffee and an espresso shot in the span of an hour. My brain feels like it is on another plane of existence 😅
