In academia, one of the top goals is Full Professor - and I did it!
Thrilled to begin the year on a high with a promotion to Full Professor of Pharmacology.
Grateful beyond words for the journey and the shoulders I stood on. Cheers to an impactful 2026. May we all be great✨
The richest man in American history wrote 38 secret letters to his son.
They weren't about money.
They were ruthless psychological principles J.D. Rockefeller used to build empires worth more than most countries.
Here's 9 principles he really taught his heir: 🧵
Today, I received a delegation from the Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) Award Programme @DofE . We explored possible avenues for collaboration and discussed how DofE’s framework for youth development could complement the work of the Citizenship and Leadership Training Centre (CLTC) @cltcnigeria .
Originating in 1956 under the leadership of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, the DofE is a globally-recognized youth achievement programme for ages 14–24, offering progressive levels (Bronze, Silver, Gold) that combine volunteering, skill building, physical activity and expeditions. It is designed to help young people build confidence, resilience, leadership skills and community spirit through practical and often life-changing experiences.
Struggles are essential on every level of life—social, economic, mental, and spiritual. Facing challenges, whether through personal pain or exploitation, is part of our journey. When united in purpose, no task is insurmountable. Remember, even when feeling broken, the path to growth and victory lies in persistence. Keep moving forward; you are not alone in your battle.
My dad was in a car accident almost a year ago.
He spent three weeks in a coma. During that time, the only things he could hear, if he heard anything at all, were my little brother whispering, “Fight, Dad,” and the Braveheart score playing softly from my phone.
My mom never left his side. Not once. She slept upright in a hospital chair, holding his hand. She didn’t go home. She didn’t take a “Starbucks break.” She stayed with my dad.
People say women marry for protection, for resources, for provision.
But what happens when the man can no longer provide? When he can’t speak, can’t walk, can’t open his eyes?
That’s when you see what a marriage is.
My brothers and my husband lifted his body when he couldn’t lift himself. I figured out how to pay his credit card so his credit wouldn’t be dinged. I cooked meals at home and my brother’s boss treated our family to meals at restaurants. Friends sent gifts to my parents’ home. My kids brought youthful energy and joy.
My mom was his rock, his reason. Once he came back to us, he didn’t want anyone but her near him. And she never once complained. She was just grateful he was alive.
They say love is willing the good of the other.
But for a man? A good woman is more than rubies. She reminds you who you are when you forget. She stands by you in sickness and in health. When there’s only the sound of hospital machines and a heartbeat she’s praying won’t stop.
In the East, men were the warriors and women the healers.
In the West, men held the power and women had grace.
But in every culture, the deepest truth is the same:
A good woman brings you back to life
and gives you children and grandchildren who adore you, who drop everything to be by your side when it matters most.
"For the last 9-months, my wife, Brooklyn has been pregnant with a very sick baby boy. Three or four months ago, we learned that the baby had severe hydrocephalus. Back in the old days, hydrocephalus was called, 'water on the brain' - too much brain fluid. Ultimately, we were referred to Cincinnati Children's Hospital, where we were told by several of the most highly regarded fetal specialists in the country that his condition was dire. The baby's condition was 'off the charts bad'. It was so extreme that the specialists stopped measuring and monitoring his fluid level because, at that point, it didn't really matter. The MRIs were sickening to look at.
We were told, point blank, that there was over a 90% chance that the baby would either die shortly after birth or have such severe cognitive impairments that any quality of life would be hard to imagine. We had a meeting with palliative care regarding the use of life-sustaining measures and had detailed, awful, and emotional discussions about the ethics of when we might need to remove or cease such measures - which would result in the baby 'passing away peacefully.
Brooklyn relocated to Cincinnati and lived in a hotel close to the hospital - in case she went into labor. I commuted back and forth. On July 8th, Brooklyn did indeed go into labor. Literally, 15 minutes before they wheeled her back to start the C-section, we had another meeting with doctors regarding the use of a breathing tube and at what point we might need to remove that tube and let the baby go to Heaven. Guess what? The baby came out crying - which was the sweetest sound I ever heard.
In a nutshell, Charlie Schnarr stayed in infant intensive care until yesterday - when we all came home. He seems to be a normal, beautiful baby doing all the things that babies do. He has mild ventricular enlargement, but we can deal with that with checkups.
How did this happen?!
The doctors said, 'We do not have and cannot come up with a medical explanation for what we've witnessed here. Somehow his brain found a way to naturally clear the blockage or re-route the fluid that was causing the oppressive backup of brain fluid. During the last week, I heard the words, 'divine intervention' and 'miracle' more times than I could count. Nurses with decades of experience and esteemed, nationally admired doctors were flabbergasted but jubilant. Because of the domino effect of friends, family, clients, colleagues, and even strangers praying and asking others to pray for us, I do not doubt that there were thousands of people praying for us.
I'm a practical person that certainly believes in science and medical technology, but I absolutely know, from the bottom of my heart, that God was involved in this. I give ALL of the credit and glory to Him. Prayer is positively powerful. God is real, and He still performs miracles."
