Two flights in 8 hours cancelled by Air Canada for mechanical reasons. No more confidence in @AirCanada and yet I don’t have a fucking choice if I want to go to Montreal or Toronto bc @united is too lazy to go there. Missing time with my mother that I can’t get back

Excited to share MaxToki, a temporal AI model that predicts the impact of perturbations on cell states over time along dynamic trajectories. We applied MaxToki to predict how cells age across the human lifespan & discovered new cardiac pro-aging drivers that we validated in vivo.

Hi @united UA1844 1/31/2026 does not have screen power and the rear restrooms (it’s a 757) are non-functional (only one now for the entire economy set). We’ve paid a lot including those of us in business. I’m returning from a family tragedy and was hoping for better.

Hey there! Please consider supporting my daughter Nika as she raises funds for the American Heart Association as a 2025 Teen of Impact nominee. More than ever we need support for cardiovascular research, and this is a noble way to help. Thank you! heart.org/site/TR?px=2899227…

Ten years. Together we built a warm, tight-knit, international community, shared new computational and experimental technologies around the the world, posted >400 preprints, and catalyzed understanding of the mechanisms and functions of chromatin in development and disease.

Happy to share our new work describing DESynR genes! The evolution of new human protein-coding genes relies on repurposing protein domains from ancestral genes, rather than de novo sequence creation. New genes evolved from old parts, and while we have methods that enable high-throughput generation and screening of base-pair level sequence evolution (mutagenesis, directed evolution, CRISPR, etc), we lack similar scalable technologies for domain-level evolution. We developed a high-throughput combinatorial molecular assembly method to generate thousands of barcoded novel genes from the domain building blocks of natural genes, termed DESynR (Domain Engineered via Synthesis and Recombination) genes.

I'm not giving up. Not letting any political agendas interfere with dissemination of life science and medical stuff via this channel and others. The latter includes Substack, Threads, LinkedIn, Bluesky, and Mastodon.
