In honor of the #Nobel prize 41 years ago today from Brown and Goldstein @UTSWMedCenter, I’m starting a statin. (Not just because I’m sentimental for Nobel prizes, but also MD recommended). Genes > diet. 🫣

I thought it was blasphemy that nyc & @WeillCornell didn’t allow natural gas & Bunsen burners, and my agar plates would get contaminated. Same @UTSWMedCenter, but then over the past decade, I noticed nothing got contaminated. 🤷🏻‍♂️ So long old Bunsen friend. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
