Hi, friends from outside Mexico. I invite you to donate to the Guerrero (my state in Mexico) Red Cross (https://t.co/IrIiObPQmd). #HurricaneOtis has devastated much of the southwestern part of the state.

Proud and inspiring moment to see indigenous Wixárika art (an ancient culture still thriving that has been an important personal inspiration for me) on the cover of @Nature featuring our Mexican Biobank study

Let's make it "official"! 🎉🔬
I'm beyond thrilled to share that I'll start as group leader at the PNAC @MRC_LMB in September 2024. The "Neuroimmune crosstalk" Lab is self-explanatory: we'll focus on studying the mechanisms by which the nervous system modulates immunity. 🧠🫁 1/

María Fernanda –Maffy– es mexicana y desapareció en Berlín. Tiene 24 años. Es migrante. La última vez que la vieron fue en su departamento en Adlershof el 22 de julio.

Su familia la está buscando, ayúdenos a encontrarla 💜

La portada de Cell Metabolism de mayo fue diseñada por mi ex alumna Silvana Bazúa-Valenti, que desde hace 4 años está en el posdoc en el Broad Institute MIT/Harvard. Vean las células en forma de nopal (chido!). Silvana Rules! Explicación en el hilo. @incmnszmx @biomedicasunam

Salaries in industry are ~ 2x higher than in academia after #PhD. This is a huge gap.

Many students ask me what to do about their bad advisors and boring PhD time. They love doing #research but have no idea how to stay in academia.

My advice these days is simple:

1. Do your best to get the PhD degree.

2. Try to leave your advisor somewhat happy so that you can ask for a recommendation letter.

3. And then LEAVE academia for industry. DON’T look for a postdoc position, it won’t help you.

- Why? Because if you have a difficult advisor and unproductive PhD time, it means your chances of staying in academia are extremely slim (~ 1%).

BUT companies don’t care about your advisor as much as academics do. They don’t need your fancy papers in Science and Nature.

They need your expertise and skills. And you as a critical thinker.

It may feel like a hard transition because you’ve got used to academic work so much.

But once you move to a company and see your bank account finally doing well, you will be surprised by how shortsighted you were before.

In industry, people solve all sorts of complex problems. Many of them are more challenging than in academia. So, believe me that you WON'T be bored if you find the right company.

And if you want to stay in academia because your brain strives for solving complex problems, you will be equally challenged in industry, especially in a tech company.

Of course industry also has all sorts of troubles. However, they are usually much easier to solve than in academia, especially when you’re a high-level professional.
