Did you know that you can detect COVID or other respiratory disease on your smartwatch days before feeling symptoms? Wearables and longitudinal monitoring are changing wellness and medicine. I was part of this work so happy to answer any questions. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.06.20147512v1

It is time to admit that genes are not the blueprint for life. After spending a few decades and billions of dollars studying the genome with very little to show for it, both academia and biopharma are finally waking up and studying the proteome!

🚨A YouTuber, Drake Anthony just built a 250-watt portable handheld laser. That's 50,000x stronger than a regular pointer. Technically a world record but not official yet.

AI is actually surprisingly useful in drug discovery but isn’t the end all be all. It’s a tool you can use to guide your designs and generate hypothesis. You still need to test experimentally but it can help especially if the other option is randomness.

Liquid biopsies (circulating tumor DNA tests) are a gamechanger for oncology, greatly improving patient outcomes. It is still early but looking positive. https://www.biospace.com/press-releases/serena-6-phase-iii-trial-demonstrates-clinical-value-of-guardant360-cdx-test-to-detect-emergence-of-endocrine-resistance-and-inform-a-switch-in-therapy-before-radiological-disease-progression-in-advanced-breast-cancer

Overwhelmed by how many of you want science content so here is a quick intro about me in my professional capacity. I’m a PhD scientist and have spent the past 5 years working to develop next-gen cancer immunotherapy drugs. I work in Research Oncology department of a mid-sized biopharma and lead a small team where we pair our expertise of mass spectrometry-based proteomics with others with different skillsets to quickly tackle complex problems that are impossible to solve alone. I've seen my work directly help patients with no other options which keeps me motivated day to day. I'm happy to answer any questions about my research or science in general!

I spent most of my life in the desert, living in Tucson, Arizona. Monsoon rainstorms are nothing short of magical. While the rest of the non-desert world takes rain for granted, the monsoons were a reason to stop what you were doing and marvel at nature. People would sit in their garages on lawn chairs and watch the storms roll through. https://phys.org/news/2025-05-atmospheric-memory-billions-people-monsoon.html

I’m learning about Fourier transforms in math class, and @eulerlagrange told me how Joseph Fourier wrapped himself up like a mummy since he believed heat had beneficial properties lol What’s your favorite math anecdote?
