Please sign! Awesome labmates of mine have super reasonable, specific proposals to make NIH-supported science more supportive for parents. K99 eligibility extension, guaranteed parental leave, allowing fellowship funds for childcare, and more! #changeNIH
Postdocs with families are being pushed out of academia because of regressive policies and insufficient NIH support. Sign our proposal https://t.co/fazEaFLbG8 to ask @NIH to support ALL postdoc parents. #changeNIH#supportpostdocparents#WomenInSTEM
I'm thrilled and honored to be a Freeman Hrabowski Scholar! I'm especially proud to be recognized for my past efforts and future potential to mentor diverse people and pursue creative scientific questions. #FHScholars

I’m excited to announce our preprint on mosquito pursuit predation! We used optogenetics to discover and characterize a persistent internal behavior state that mosquitoes use to find and bite humans. Summary below https://t.co/6pxJNvRZO2
Excited to share this preprint where we show that the bacterial toxin-antitoxin family, DarTG, defends bacteria against their viral predators, bacteriophage. 1/5 https://t.co/If0dZUxCIW
