ya girl’s got a paper!! come skim read the abstract!!!
New paper online! cell.com/cell-host-microbe/f… (collaboration with Jun Huh's lab) describing how bacteria biosynthesize the bile acid metabolite isoalloLCA and how this molecule induces the development of regulatory T cells, and featuring lead co-authors @miniboe and @saiyu_hang (1/2)
*rises from the dead*
apply to our cozy little lab! 🥰🥰
Bold of them to publish a study that literally everyone on the internet can disprove. 🤨
Mental-health crisis from pandemic was minimal, study suggests bbc.in/3ZA0EHd
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
From the article & authors of study-
“The review did not look at lower-income countries, or specifically focus on children, young people & those with existing problems, the groups most likely affected, experts say, and risks hiding important effects among disadvantaged groups.“
After I sent a long email about how our chamber is deflating for strange reasons, it stops deflating. And then immediately after I emailed back about how it’s all good now, it starts to deflate again. 🤨🤨 problem child

a bunch of my friends are choosing between PhD programs. here's my advice to them:
it is FAR more important to work with someone who is kind, than someone who does exactly the research you want to do or is at a prestigious institution.
Why am I constantly being headhunted for positions that I’m not qualified for 😭 inflating my ego only to deflate it immediately

lab mate: are you going to the seminar?
me: nah, it doesn’t seem interesting

Spent all day working to separate my science work from my *ahem* other works. I’m kinda proud of it now ig??? Hehe
I cannot believe they closed down BGOOD in Longwood. I was collecting points and I have enough for a free smoothie!! Now I have to go all the way to Northeastern to get it 🙄🙄🙄
