For #CysticFibrosisAwarenessMonth, we’re spotlighting the science that helped make today’s treatments possible.

Jue Chen’s research reveals how small molecules rescue misfolded CFTR proteins — a breakthrough in cystic fibrosis therapy.

[HHMI | Janelia @HHMIJanelia]

🥼 Janelia researchers are helping to shed light on the molecular mechanisms underlying synaptic plasticity, which could increase our understanding of how the brain works normally & in diseases where these processes go awry, like Alzheimer’s. ➡️ https://t.co/kqVaXk18cN

There is no such thing as a perfect leader.

In fact, if someone claims to be a perfect leader, they are probably not even a good leader, as they lack the self-awareness needed to seek out feedback and continue to grow and improve.

No proposal or manuscript is ever perfect, but to be effective, it does eventually need to be finished.

Nothing we submit will ever be as good as it *could* be and just recognizing that can be an important step forward.

Perfection is not the goal. Finished is the goal.

I’ve said it before and l’ll say it again, neglect is a form of trainee abuse.

If you don’t have the bandwidth to effectively mentor, don’t take trainees.

And if you see neglect, don’t say it’s due to busy PIs or big labs - that’s excusing bad behavior & discounting the trainee

[Jen Heemstra @jenheemstra]

A key takeaway from today’s @HeemstraLab professional development session:

When writing your methods section, use the same level of detail and clarity that you would hope to find in a protocol that you need to replicate from the literature.

As a PhD student, I thought the best supervisors had the most papers or the biggest lab

As a supervisor, I realise that's absolutely not true

It’s TODAY everyone!
See you in the auditorium or on zoom.
@carolinejia22 will be sharing her highly creative thesis work!

First graduation in a very long time, please join us for a reception after the closed defense concludes (roughly 3/3:30)!

[Earl K. Miller @MillerLabMIT]

New paper! We break down "mixed selectivity" and discuss why smart brains need it.
Thanks to my colleagues @kaymtye @StefanoFusi2 @mattiarigotti Marcus Benna and @felixtaschbach
