Kudos Kyro! Way to go!

[UAMS Physiology & Cell Biology @uams_physiology]

Kyrilos Sadaka, formerly a summer student and currently an M1 student in Dr. Bagchi's lab won the popular People's Choice Award at the 3MT semi-finals on March 3rd. He will be competing at the finals on Student Research Day on March 10th. Congrats Kyro!

My lab at MSKCC in New York is hiring for two positions. Join us at the frontier of functional genomics, studying fibroblast state transitions, combinatorial genetics, and ECM in disease. Please share with anyone who might be a good fit! (Mustache not required.)

[Prof Lennart Nacke, PhD @acagamic]

Your postdoc is trying to start a family.
Your PhD student just lost a friend.
Your staff scientist sends money home every month.

You spend years with these people.

You know their research inside out.
You know nothing about what they're carrying.

Ask how they're actually doing.

It matters more than you think.

[Prof Lennart Nacke, PhD @acagamic]

A literature review is not proof that you read widely.

It is proof that you think precisely.

The papers you exclude reveal your judgment as much as the papers you include. The patterns you name reveal your analytical capacity. The gaps you surface reveal your readiness to contribute.

Your literature review is your first argument to the academic community.

Make it count.

We had a great experience writing this. Thank you @physiol_journal for the opportunity! @uamshealth @UAMS

[UAMS Physiology & Cell Biology @uams_physiology]

Dr. Bagchi's lab published a review article titled “Histone Deacetylases in Metabolism: The Known and the Unexplored” in the reputed journal Physiology (IF 10.3). The article is authored by Somaya Ibrahim and Jayden Carter. Congrats to the team! https://t.co/VtFBjtJcch

@JussherLab This is such disheartening news. Gary wasn't just a great scientist but a wonderful human being, which will make it even more difficult to accept this loss. May his soul be at peace.

[American Society for Investigative Pathobiology @ASIPath]

Are you an undergraduate student interested in pursuing #ExperimentalPathology #research? The ASIP Summer Research Opportunity Program in Pathology (SROPP) is a fantastic opportunity to explore! Learn more https://t.co/mB1TEanwxP

[Michael 英泉 Eisen @mbeisen]

Here's the thing. We have **NO IDEA** how to pick good graduate students. I served on admission committees for 10+ years, and chaired a few, and what I learned is that all the spreadsheets of grades and test scores and recommendations and essays and publications and interview rubrics are just an elaborate ruse to pretend we know what we're doing when we simply don't. Many of the most highly ranked applicants to our "top" program flamed out quickly, and tons of the students we summarily rejected have turned into amazing scientists. But in the name of creating meritocratic seeming rankings that are more about creating a workforce than great scientists (a system that anyone paying attention knows is bullshit), we've created a homogenous process adopted by nearly all institutions that has stamped out the one thing we should be striving for - given our lack of any clear understanding of what leads to success - a wide range of difference talents and experiences.

Mentors can’t achieve your goals for you, but they can:

-help you focus on what you want to do
-inspire you to believe in what you are capable of doing
-offer practical supports to equip you for success

And we can each do these things for someone else.
