@JEncarnacion_ I’m the hater, the hater is me 🤣🤣🤣

[Allie Karz @doc_doc_goose47]

I have family attending my defense, including 4 kiddos aged 3-13. I need to show mouse data. If they happen to be paying attention, how do I explain without traumatizing them and making them hate me for being an animal torturer? Parents in #science, how do you handle this? 🐭🐭🐭

@GarciaLabMS Congrats! And don’t worry dogs make everything better

I've been a bit busy to realize how much has changed for me in the past decade. Just 10 yrs ago I just graduated high school. I dropped out to take care of my grandma but resumed a couple years later when she passed from Cancer. Now here I am as a 5th yr Cancer Bio PhD Candidate.

@GarciaLabMS @HarmitMalik would add that being a good person requires constant self examination - am i biased? did i respond correctly? how will my actions impact those that work with me?

Most students don't need another thing on the CV. They need more money, more autonomy, and better working environments so that they can do what they're already doing with less stress.

Starting off the week right with a sweet treat for the lab. I made “Rice CRISPR Treats” to commemorate our first knockout in the lab. Gotta celebrate all the wins!

In 2016, Pharrell Williams visited an N.Y.U. music production class to critique student songs.

After he listened to a song called “Alaska” by a student named Maggie Rogers, he explained why “I have zero, zero, zero notes for that:”

In an acute visit, a patient seemingly out of nowhere said, “I know my weight is probably affecting this too.”
I paused, “Actually, I don’t think this problem has anything to do with weight so I wasn’t going to bring it up, but I also don’t see weight as an indicator of health.”
