Sitting with my Duke ugrads listening to @KafuiDzirasa normalize failure and thankful they get to hear this powerful message. #ABRCMS2023
Mad props to @KOlusola and @PTXofficial for pulling off last night’s performance. It looked seamless but the effort it took had to be tremendous! My kids LOVED their first concert!
Its @PanCAN Advocacy Day! Let congress know that they need to increase funding for pancreatic cancer research! pancan.org/get-involved/a…
Settle an office debate: Microsoft Teams or Slack?
We started the semester on zoom for rising cases, and had to end the semester on zoom because I'm positive. Hated to end it that way. Felt like a strange way to end an even stranger semester. Still looking for the new normal.
Slides are visual aids that assist your presentation. Anytime you put something on your slides, its primary purpose is to help the *audience*, not you. Nothing should distract from your verbal presentation, it should only enhance it. A mini-presentation on slide design. 1/
Lots of good advice here I will use when teaching!
1) My gut feeling from hearing of Omicron cases in Botswana, ex-Malawi, ex-Egypt (2 now it seems) and in South Africa is, that the variant was flying under the radar in undersequenced countries for some time until Botswana and South Africa detected it and sounded the alarm.
I did a research summer program in 2000 at Rockefeller U. I was a clueless ugrad and had never led a journal club before. My lab suggested a recent Science paper would be cool to do. I'll be damned if that dude and paper didn't just win the Nobel Prize!
We're off to bring supplies to our family and friends in South Louisiana! Thankful to neighbors, friends, and family for helping us to make this happen!

Been getting lots of questions about the #COVID19 delta variant. While the epi data makes it clear that this variant is more transmissible, the biology is a bit different than the other VOCs. A thread of musings about delta and why there is concern (1/9)
