Baby’s first NIH oral presentation 🥰 - it was such an honor to share my thesis work introducing a new therapeutic target in pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma.

Communicating my science to others is one of my favorite things about my job.

A childhood friend and her family recently received news that no parent or family should EVER have to hear. Her beautiful boy, Phoenix was just diagnosed with cancer.

Please help with any penny that you can.

Nature used to be the world’s most prestigious science journal. Now it’s one of many accused of favouring authors because of their identity group rather than the excellence and importance of their science.

@EricLDaugh Absolutely thrilled to see this young man be celebrated and his strength recognized. Recognition of the people was the highlight of the evening.

What is sad is that this administration is cutting millions of pediatric research funding for kids who need it.

OK PubMed is down

It's run by the NIH and the main way to search for academic papers.

If this isn't a temporary thing , and is a Trump/Musk doing, academics around the world are royally screwed right now.

My best advice to new graduate students:

You’re not stuck if you don’t STOP 🛑
The degree will come, eventually.

[Chris Black @DownToBlack]

All of you who loved that halftime show along with me…
I see you now, like I saw you back on those 2004 dance floors.

gets sick ➡️ rests so I can return to lab ➡️ anxious about being sick and away from lab ➡️ takes longer to heal ➡️ plans to go back to lab ➡️ symptoms get worse ➡️ rinse & repeat

I need to do better at this, but here is a reminder that you shouldn’t beat yourself up when sick
