Cooking for Thanksgiving just changed to cooking by candlelight. Hoping the power comes back on soon. 🤞

Cookies and Christmas Music time.

Spice Up Your Thanksgiving With Science Should you brine your turkey? Why do mashed potatoes get glue-y? Cookbook author Kenji López-Alt tackles the science behind thanksgiving.

Chances are, you've seen one of his recipes online (his hasselback potato gratin for @nytimes.com is having a moment). Author and food scientist J. Kenji Lopez-Alt shares that the secret behind a great Thanksgiving meal is solid chemistry. 🧪🦃

Wonderful Saturday of prepping for Thanksgiving, and decorating for Christmas. 🎄 But first…tire rotation.

New journal and pen really make Monday better ✍️

Snow! ❄️

Sweatpants, sweatshirt, heated blanket, purring cat. Best Friday night after a long day. ❤️

Happy National Cat Day to my closest pals ❤️ We’ve been through a lot together 💕

Gene behind orange fur in cats found at last After 60 years, scientists know why gingers, calicos, and tortoiseshells look the way they do

Congratulations Dr. Dobersch! Phenomenal and important work to better understand what drives the basal subtype of PDAC!

Afternoon walk, peaceful by the water

Targeted protein degradation for cancer therapy Nature Reviews Cancer, Published online: 25 April 2025; doi:10.1038/s41568-025-00817-8Targeted protein degradation (TPD) is an emerging pharmacological modality in cancer therapy. In this Review, Hinterndorfer et al. outline the mechanistic bases of TPD and discuss the characteristics, advantages and applications of established compounds as well as upcoming classes of degraders.
