@MitoPsychoBio Going to push back on using "mitotype," since the existing practice in the field is that this refers to mitochondrial genotype (based on my experience, at least)

@baym Worse are the news headlines. Did you see one yesterday that read something like "There is a spoon's worth of plastic in your brain"? (and not how much plastic would fit in a spoon, but the amount of plastic that makes up a typical disposable plastic spoon)

Beautiful day on campus @Fresno_State - have a great Tuesday! (and dodge those raindrops later if you can)

Fun geography fact time: which of the 50 United States has the largest (and smallest) ratio of total area/land area? That is, which states have the smallest (and largest) percent of area covered by water? (Don't ask how I got down this rabbit hole…)

Reagent-sharing etiquette ? for PIs: what's the best response for a cold-email request to share a reagent (worm strain, in this case) that I used in a paper & I got from a stock center (CGC)? My instinct is to refer them to CGC.

@EricSHaag @VanGoorJ great peri-birthday present!

@UCSDCooperLab well, doesn't hurt to try I guess... but yeah bad advice

Which?

Package from @PenzeysSpices arrived in rough shape, but still intact! Good job packing my spices. Now for holiday baking to commence…

@TheTedAllen Sorrow pretty awesome live too. Enjoy!

@GilmourTour Thanks for coming across the pond - looking forward to seeing what comes next!

RT @Nature: Guess what? Mitochondria are weirder than we thought

@J0hnCarpent3r @GilmourTour @benworsleymusic yes, he is - or was in earlier concerts at least. Very powerful vocals!

Can't imagine what the context is…

@GilmourTour Wish I were there (wish you were here?)

@davidgilmour @TheGarden @PollySamson Looks warmer than Hollywood was!

close-in seats are great at lots of concerts, but best practice for prog rock seems to be to sit farther back to enjoy the lighting too! LASERs just aren't the same in the press pool and inner box seats

Here's the thing: most concerts are more energetic but the music quality isn't as good as the album. Go see @GilmourTour to get the best of both. Better than the album (esp. when the musicians are warm enough to feel their fingers), & the atmosphere is outstanding! Light show 🔥

A privilege to hear @thewebbsisters w/David Gilmour in Hollywood. Long time listener (via Leonard Cohen times) & 1st-time concern-goer. MSG attendees are in for a real treat. It is the harmonies.

@GilmourTour Was that @benworsleymusic also singing on In Any Tongue? Whoever it was has a fantastic voice that really complements the song.
