First real ride on my new bike! Wasn't sure about a single-speed but I'm loving it so far (haven't seen a hill yet though so we'll see...)

Delighted to share that my first ever R package has just been released on bioconductor! If you use R for flow cytometry, or would like to learn how, have a look at bioconductor.org/packages/re… for easy GUI-based gating and a beginner-oriented vignette.

So many times I was made feel “guilty” for having 2 kids (and pregnant with 3rd). I felt less of a scientist. This immigrant with thick accent and 3 kids just got her first independent paper in @CellCellPress Never let anybody make you doubt authors.elsevier.com/a/1exmg…

Hey @RideBluebikes you gotta do something about Longwood. It's slammed, there's about a dozen bikers circling looking for a place to park. Closest I could find was Roxbury.

Both Wentworth and colleges of the fens show one dock free but a few of us tried this morning and couldn't get them to lock.

Pure love when I'm wearing my ID that says "PhD, cancer immunology" and my coat that says "cancer researcher" and my hand is on the door to the cancer research center where I do cancer research and someone stops me to ask for a cigarette...

I've been wondering who Biden's voice reminds me of and it finally hit me listening to the inauguration yesterday when my brain filled in "said Morley" to the end of each of his sentences. Have a listen and tell me he doesn't sound just like Stuart McLean.

A brief reminder that if vaccines could alter your DNA we would have used them to cure a few dozen genetic diseases by now. 🤨 Thank-you.

Huge props to @CityOfBoston for keeping the bike path on the southeast corridor ploughed this morning - made biking into the lab a breeze. Thanks!
