I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision, it’s time to redouble our efforts.

Incredibly proud of Zion for getting a poster award at #Worm23. In the past 2 yrs she has been working with me in the Hobert lab, I have witnessed her immense talent, dedication and perseverance. She’ll go places 🎇
had a great time at the international c. elegans conference this year but glad to be coming home just in time to celebrate Eid with my family. Eid Mubarak to my Muslim brothers & sisters, especially those I saw at #worm23 !

My finished shot from this morning's total lunar eclipse. This image was captured by using two telescopes, one to capture intricate detail on the lunar surface, and one to capture the rich tones cast by Earth's shadow across the disc. Go ahead, zoom in on it!

A 🧵 on burnout
Yesterday I learned that when people are burnt out, their amygdala enlarges. For all you non-neuroscientists, here's what that means and why it's important. 1/

My (admittedly very rough) attempt at a Hubble v #JWST comparison. And this is literally just the beginning.
