- Once this paycheck hits, I’m putting this on a shirt. #FDT
- If you can spare a bit of time for one day or several days, consider contributing verifiable public info to wiki.icelist.is. The information is sparse at the moment. It is important for the info to be accurate.
- As the US celebrates its 250th year, you’re going to see a lot about George Washington, whose importance is undeniable. Also remember Oney Judge, a woman who secured her own freedom, & her children’s freedom from the enslavement by George & Martha Washington. #goldstandardhistory #USA250
- @altcdc.altgov.info Thank you for standing strong. I was walking past the CDC campus to Emory and spotted some yellow rubber ducks by the fence, with messages about the new vaccine advisory panel being a bunch of “quacks.” I can send a snapshot. They’re brilliant!

- Good morning! I’m changing the titles of the inclusion and equity content on my blog to “gold standard science,” while keeping the content the same. I like the ring of it. Thanks RFK Jr! I claim no ownership of this idea, so feel free to copy.
- Someone is already vying for the 2026 John Lewis good trouble award! Visit www.trumpkennedycenter.org I made up that award, but there should be one.
- I thought this was just me or my computer! I’m sharing this thread with our pre-award admin who is telling us to complete this by Friday.
- Happy #GeorgeWashingtonCarverDay!

- This column in a word: boss-up, y’all. It is not a warm and fuzzy hug, or an outrage sing-along. It’s a clear reflection of the present, a wake up call, and a preview of the future. We aren’t going to complain Trump away. It’s survival time. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
- Black eyed peas and greens with smoked turkey for the New Year! Plus a bonus bowl of chicken and sausage gumbo. Ready to fight and win in 2026. #newyear2026 #soulfood
- Special recognition of today's Kwanzaa principle "Ujima" - collective work and responsibility (Day 3). The Adinkra symbol Akoma Ntoaso (united hearts) is used to represent agreed-upon effort. The symbol also represents a machine-readable XML format for govt., legislative & judiciary documents.
- Happy Holidays from the Haynes lab and our awesome epigenetic lncRNA bioengineering collaborators from NYU! Thanks to the Jones lab for a great micro-symposium and for hanging with us at our holiday party!
- I just returned from a conference where a couple of grad students from India said that one thing that unifies conservative and liberal Indians is the opinion that Kash Patel is a total joke.
- New preprint! A bold aspiration, to target and control genes as chromatin complexes, not as nucleotide strings. How it started: total noise. New resolution: fuzzy blobs coming into focus. Not perfect yet but a huge step. khayneslab.wordpress.com/2025/11/27/r...
- My new kink is getting into a racially loaded exchange with a bigot, avoiding any direct mention of race, and when they finally mention race, I say “why are you so obsessed with race?” Yes, this is petty. Healing is a journey.
- My favorite* academic mic drop “As strongly requested by the reviewers, here we cite some references [35-47] although they are completely irrelevant to the present work” … has been retracted! But in good faith … the paper is getting a new review. retractionwatch.com/2025/04/09/i...
