I’m happy to announce that I’ve been named Director of @presbycollege’s new Center for Inquiry, Research and Scholarship (CIRAS). Our goal is further bolster a research and scholarship culture among our talented PC faculty and students. 1/n

I had an amazing time today giving today’s afternoon talk for #PISA2026. It was an honor for the invitation to be extended by the ASIP trainees who organize this meeting.
Based on the talks I heard today, science is in good hands with these young investigators.
It's PISA month! The final day of #PISA2026 will feature Austin Shull, PhD, from @presbycollege. Register to join us asip.org/pisa2026

I was happy to help mentor this study with my colleague Stuart Gordon. While not my area of expertise, it's always great to help lead student in producing positive data & moving science forward. Thanks to @Micropub7n for providing that space to publish.

Since clammies are the “green yeast,” I feel like the yeast model organism gets to claim another Nobel Prize.
BREAKING NEWS
The 2026 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel “for their discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and optogenetics.”
A journal Impact factor is analogous to measuring a person’s BMI.
Both are clumsy measurements created for very different purposes than what they’re lazily used for now.

What do you your students work on between experiments?
Answer: Their own sweaters with nucleosome packaging! May our data be as beautiful as Carlie’s sweatshirt design 😂
It still baffles me that MAGA got peptides and the Left got mRNA in the divorce.

Guys, this is why companies spend a lot of resources doing rigorous internal testing for protein quality. You cannot trust the claims from vendors, you'll hear plenty of horror stories from people who have been in the industry long enough.
Now apply this thinking to grey market peptides.
At @presbycollege, the professor of the year has the privilege to give the commencement address. I was given that privilege this year.
Here is the YouTube of my speech. I hope it provided a level of encouragement for the 2026 class & for anyone else.
