Proud of our latest paper in @jbiolchem showing that inhibiting the mitotic kinase, NEK2, can improve the efficacy of #CDK4/6 inhibitors. Congrats to hardworking @caseccc grad students Jessica Bobbitt and @lessleeeh! @CCLRI #bcsm https://t.co/OMVIdkyNws

@HeyDasRio I’m love this sooo much ❤️😂

When I first experienced physical manifestations of stress, I thought I was dying. I have had intense chest and stomach pains in multiple occasions. At first, these symptoms fed my anxiety. Now, through the help of therapy, I take those signs as reminders to be kind to myself.

[Emily King (she/her) @EKing_Sci]

You know something I didn't realise was a thing before my PhD?

Physical manifestations of stress.

From nausea, tension headaches & loss of appetite to gut and vital organ impacts.

We should talk about that. It's not something that should be ignored.

Because I feel like this needs to be stated... it’s also not celebrated with tacky mustaches and sombreros.

[Leslie CV @lessleeeh]

I absolutely loved this! Thank you Yesenia for capturing the beauty (and struggles) of living on your own with family and friends long ways away.

[Leslie CV @lessleeeh]

In the #KeriLab we don’t say “I appreciate you”, instead we test each other’s ability to keep things alive through plants and I think that’s beautiful.

[Leslie CV @lessleeeh]

This needs to be amplified.

I can't go to lab late at night because there's a police/military occupation in my city and I could go to jail or die for tryna go feed my cells. That's being Black in academia. My white peers don't worry about these things.

Congratulations @dseachrist!! Best Lab Mom ever!!

[Ruth Keri @RuthKeri2]

Very proud of @dseachrist who knocked it out of the park today with her private #PhD thesis defense on regulators of breast cancer metastasis. Congratulations! @caseccc @CWRUSOM #bcsm 🍾🎉🎈 🔬 🧬 🧫 🧪

@HannahntheWolf @AcademicChatter I love iAnnotate. You can connect your Google Drive/Dropbox. That way you can access your pdfs and markup (highlight, write, add text, etc). Saved automatically to the file. Additionally, you can create new PDFs (blank, lined, or grid) where you can free write/draw.

I started journaling to release anxiety I’ve pent up for the past couple months. On Friday I decided to start a small trainee institutional grant application and I’m about 90% done. I’m pleasantly surprised how journaling has made me a better scientific writer.

@christineliuart I spoke at/helped organize my city’s first rally and felt tokenized. It was a great experience to talk to thousands of people and help with the event. But the experience left a bad taste. I’ve been holding onto this for years. Feels great to have it called out.

[Leslie CV @lessleeeh]

@MRodFlores Watch the documentary too! It is such a great aid to the book.
