This video makes me feel an emotion I have never felt. Watching this video is the only time I can reliably reproduce it. I just think they’re beautiful and I’m proud of them and happy for them. It’s like I’m their dad.
All perfect for today's indecisive weather

Nom nom. Fam favorite one pot meal. Add cannellini beans for protein and kalamata olives bc everything is better with olives.

A diagram showing that 24 annually funded grants becomes only 15 funded grants if 50% of the funds for competitive grants are used for multi-year funding.
I was preparing for a talk I gave last evening to a lay audience and came up with this graphic to explain multi-year funding and why it leads to fewer competitive awards and funding investigators and projects.

We can have nice things!
I am so sorry to hear this. Ellen was so kind and reasonable and open hearted. Much love to you and your family. May her memory be a blessing
To any that knew Ellen in the #DevBio community- you know she was so thoughtful and always willing to help. She cared about all of us and dedicated herself to improving the future of science and our community. She will be sorely missed. Sending my condolences to all that loved her.💔

I see you @natashaobrown.bsky.social

LOVE that many women’s fear (being defined by their harassment and/or their harasser) is being legitimized here
wonder why so few come forward? It’s because of bullshit like this
I know at least 5 peeps w/NIH grants that have scored 1-4% who are not being funded.
My hopes are those who are funded are using their resources to help others, particularly junior faculty. Sharing resources, personnel, time, etc…
If we don’t all pull together, science and the country suffers.
Same. my mom's go to cereals were rice crispies, puffed rice 🤮 and special K. The sugar was the prize

Today’s important life lesson when calling the authorities to figure out how to get off the mountain that has caught on fire during your hike make sure they have up to date trail maps so when you tell them you are on the AT they know that’s leading you straight towards the fire and not safely down
I didn't know AT was so close to Lafayette
BREAKING: A record-high 40 senators just voted to block weapons to Israel, up from 27 last July.
There is much more work to be done, but today was yet another statement that the movement for Palestinian rights is growing in the halls of power.
Thank you, NJ Senators @booker.senate.gov and @kim.senate.gov
Glad you are safe, and hope you were with people during this
Omg. What are "things you don't expect on a local hike" for $500?
As a recipient of federal grants from #NIH (for now! 😭) that funds research in my lab, I'd like to sincerely thank American taxpayers on #TaxDay for investing in scientific research that lays the foundation for medical and technological innovation in this country and keeps us ALL safe and healthy
NPP-21-GFP (green) forming a spindle matrix around mitotic chromosomes (magenta) in metaphase in P1 cells
Addition of auxin further exacerbated the phenotype in P1 cells but not AB cells, consistent with a role only in these cells. Also supporting this developmental role, a GFP tagged version of NPP-21 was enriched in and consistently localized to a spindle matrix structure in P1 cells.
SO PRETTY!

💀 I am also a walking disaster area
He knows that NIH spent their apportionment but he also knows they did by sending dollars to upcoming years with the result of ~25% fewer proposals- which is a massive cut. He just lies to the face of Congress
Senior professors - if you want to help your junior colleagues in these times, I am begging you, review our papers. I have done 25 manuscript reviews in the last 6 years. But my own manuscript is stalled out waiting for reviewers. Relatedly, I won't be doing any more reviews until tenure. 🧪
