- I gotta say, I wouldn't have clocked these for being from 1895 immediately after Roentgen's discovery of X-rays. I feel like the field of medical imaging moved pretty slow for the period after this.
- #OnThisDay in 1895, Wilhelm Roentgen discovered x-rays and altered the course of medical history. Pictured: images from one of the 1st series of x-rays ever produced (just 2 weeks after Roentgen published his discovery). More here: publicdomainreview.org/collection/e... #WorldRadiographyDay
- Golden boy living his best life 🐈
- As an imaging scientist, I will never type the word "imagine" without typing "imaging" first.
- Reposted by Charles F. Caskey"Chladni figures" from 1787 created by German physicist and musician Ernst Chladni, showing nodal patterns made by drawing a bow along the edge of a sand-covered plate. More here: publicdomainreview.org/collection/chladni-…
- Also A+ use of what looks like video of a Yayoi Kusama installation in the background
- Is this the bar we're holding our tech entrepreneurs to these days? It seems difficult to spend trillions and *not* transform the world. Hit me up, I can do it for 1/10th of that.
- As a fan of the em and en dashes prior to the explosion of its use with ChatGPT, I'm conflicted. One one hand, I am happy others will now use this helpful punctuation; however, I don't like that people view it as a signal that GPT was the source of the writing.
- Writing 'Hope all is well!' in an email has felt increasingly awkward lately. Like, no, all is clearly not well, but what am I supposed to do, write 'Hope things are medium okay'?
- Reposted by Charles F. CaskeyI'm hiring! I'm recruiting a postdoctoral scholar to help launch and shape my new lab at @uoknightcampus.bsky.social!! careers.uoregon.edu/en-us/job/53...
- Quote a record you found in your parents' collection when you were young
- Finally fulfilled my dream of owning a 1952 Topps card with this Larry Doby gem. Sharing it on Jackie Robinson Day because Doby was the second African American in MLB, following Robinson. Both legends broke barriers, inspiring us toward equality and inclusion. #JackieRobinsonDay #LarryDoby
- Pub alert for a paper written in collaboration with Mike King's lab where we used focused ultrasound to mechanically stimulate prostate tumor cells in vivo, enhancing apoptosis. Congratulations to our brilliant team members, Abigail Fabiano and Malachy Newman, for their exceptional work!
- Excited to share our new paper using Focused Ultrasound to mechanically stimulate prostate tumor cells in vivo, now published in Advanced Science! #OpenAccess Great collab with @cfcaskey.bsky.social Congrats to Abby Fabiano and Malachy Newman 🔊 news.rice.edu/news/2025/ri...
- I don't see any other way to look at this: Trump and Republicans are killing cancer and brain research while vacuuming $126 million out of our economy
- I've been calling every day to see what our Republican Senators in Tennessee's official stance is on the NIH cuts and firings: Marsha Blackburn: (202) 224-3344 Bill Hagerty: (202) 224-4944 No word yet. The interns at Hagerty's office are friendly. Marsha's goes to voicemail
- 💯 A company might have a much lower IDC rate but they are not responsible for training their employees for 5 years with the intended goal that these people move on and bring these skills to another company.
- In Tennessee - NIH FUNDING: $770M Jobs supported: 9,362 Economic activity supported: $1.99 B www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...
- Total novice on this topic, but I'm pretty sure the indirect rate is negotiated between the NIH and research institutes. It's not a made up number. It's what both parties agreed on as the cost to perform research
