Congrats! Such a wonderful feeling!

Yes! Lived next to one of the famous New Haven places for 8 years - Modern Apizza. Hands down best pizza!

Haha if it were huge I would not hesitate!

Well after taxes it would buy me a few dinners out. So that seems ok, no?

I was just offered an honorarium for a grant selection committee I serve on. Have I become so Canadian 🇨🇦 that I feel sheepish asking for the money💰?

Certainly more involved than running many small countries!

Merci Valentin!

Thanks Marco!

Thanks Amy 😊

Thank you - I hope so too!

What great news to wake up to: "I am happy to tell you that your manuscript has been accepted for publication in Disease Models & Mechanisms" 🥳🎉 It's been a bit rough lately, so hopefully this will start a new trend 🤞

Vancouver is entering the chat 😂

I'm so sorry to hear this. Sending your family condolences. I really valued her presence and opinions, which I mostly experienced through X and here. So sad.

Did you know the Santa Cruz Developmental Biology Meeting has an entire session just for NEW PI Talks? And a New PI Keynote Talk? It does! These will be chosen from the abstracts. New PIs, sign up!

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. 🧪

Hilarious! And I'm old enough to remember watching MASH!

What is MASH?

Any UC Berkeley grads who are early career faculty? Im first gen academic and didn’t get my regalia for years after starting as faculty because I didn’t know why I’d want it, but it’s sooo nice to wear when your own grads are crossing the stage! #AcademicSky 🧪

Moon joy indeed!

Oh yes! They are back. And safe.

I have been holding my breath - I didn't know how badly I needed this to go well. Will be relieved when we hear their voices!

Soundds amazing!

Where are you??

If you know a graduating undergraduate looking for the chance to spend 1-2 years in a lab before graduate school, we're hiring! Our lab explores morphogenesis, defining how the cell adhesion & cytoskeletal machinery work together to allow cells to change shape & move tarheels.live/peiferlab/ 1/n RT

Yes, midweek.

Sharing this again as it is so cool to watch this mission.

This is something that frustrates me - so much interesting stuff is in the supplements, but those are not included in the article PDF most of the time. Would be so easy to include for the full story. But also - reviewers should stop asking for insane amounts of data in papers!!

Yeah but that was for a whole book! I hate that we are offered summaries of emails! That is absurd.

This is so cool. I hadn't realized that the moon is of course moving so as they head towards it, it is also moving. In awe at the calculations involved to make this work!

Love seeing recognition of the Canadian presence on Artemis II.
