Returning to Science Twitter briefly to thank the UTSW newsroom for their kind story on my New Innovator award. Humbling experience. A few thank yous to follow, as most haven't switched to the "other" place. :)

The next discovery in treating brain diseases may come from tiny cell structures. David Sanders, Ph.D., studies biomolecular condensates and their role in Alzheimer’s/ALS—work that earned him the @NIH Director’s New Innovator Award. Explore more: https://t.co/NgiJFolBDA #UTSWMed

@mbeisen Didn’t know lawyers were so highly cited. Good to know that someone still loves them.

@AdrianoAguzzi @silvirouskin It’s a glam grant for new PIs in the us. You write a non-deliverable, pie-in-the-sky proposal and then pray that you randomly get a better score than a bunch of others. I suppose a good CV helps slightly.

@silvirouskin Since Covid, things have been different re: trainee motivation. Not sure whether it’s due to a generational change or stasis-driven malaise. But it has become more challenging to excite trainees and motivate them to do impactful research! Exception: students from china.

@kenneylj Despite my age, I try to be young at heart. Enjoy your culture wars while we do good science!

Ut southwestern is recruiting! 3-milly start-up for tenure-track or tenured positions in O’Donnell Brain institute. Basic and translational neuroscientists both. If I can call myself a neuroscientist, so can you! Please consider reposting :) #DPRITisComing https://t.co/aiSDX86s3W

The OBI Scholars Program is recruiting early career scientists of ANY discipline whose research includes mechanistic studies that advance understanding of CNS disease & aging. Scholars receive a generous ~$3M recruitment package and lab space. Learn more: https://t.co/XfBJXBhdVV

@kenneylj You do realize you run a lab in Singapore right? Enjoy your pearl clutching.

[David W. Sanders! @DavidWSanders2]

@kenneylj We’re a med school not an undergrad campus. And tenure is overrated in biomedical research. I, personally, love it here, but thanks for your perspective.

@AdrianoAguzzi yeah, I am every morning.

[David W. Sanders! @DavidWSanders2]

@AdrianoAguzzi I know man. it's just a play on words. :)

[David W. Sanders! @DavidWSanders2]

@AdrianoAguzzi glad you guys are no longer doing CRISPR screens. AI is the future.

@MDiamond_Lab for recruiting me to this wonderful institution; @brangwynnelab for taking a chance on a postdoc with a psychology degree; @ShahmoraLab for co-leading our remarkable group of scientists; and our amazing lab members and @NIH for believing in our high risk research!

@ShorterLab Glad to see Aaron’s backyard infinitiPool cordoned off with police tape. As one would expect.
