Been quiet on here for a while! But, i submitted an AHA career development award, and I’m very close to submitting an R01 in Feb, so I’ve been busy! Any senior folks have advice for an assistant professor anxious about this stuff?

Hi friends! I’ll be at AHA in NOLA this Friday-Sunday! If anyone’s in town and wants to connect, lmk! #aha #hypertension #SGM

REALLY can’t get anything right lately

I’ve FINALLY finished The Crown and now I don’t know what to do with my life

William 😍😍😍😍😍😍

I forgot my AirPods for the train .. this is na omen for how today’s gonna go 😵‍💫

Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"

Applying for an @ahascience.bsky.social Career Development Award this coming cycle! Happy to take any advice! #cardiology #aha #physiology #hypertension

Saw Gaga this weekend. Twas chaos. Twas gay. 🤘🏻🏳️‍🌈

The American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association have released new guidelines for managing acute coronary syndromes, incorporating recent trial data and updated recommendations for treatments.

Just fully speechless lately. 🥲

Meetings at 8, 9, 10, 11, and noon do not leave a lot of extra time for bathroom, snack, or crying breaks

Stages of CKM syndrome

There are strong connections among cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity, defined as cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome. For the first time, the AHA defines this condition and outlines screening and treatment.

Academia is feeling very unsustainable

Cannot believe we are living in the future where McConnell is the only R to cross the aisle to vote with Dems on a couple terrible appt nominations.

I wanted the another future. The one with monorails & interlinked public transit & parks & urban gardens & public health care & vacation days.

I wish there was a way to quantify the collective amount of work lost due to stress and despair over the last few weeks, independent of barriers to funding.

My feed is overwhelmed with scientists right now calling out the catastrophic consequences of the NIH indirect cost order from last night. If those same people aren't also speaking out against the anti-trans, anti-DEI, anti-immigrant orders...we are lost. The only path forward is solidarity.

Anyways, I hope everyone here knows I see you, I love you, and I will continue to push this field forward for you. United we stand.

I muse over a piece I’ve been writing since before the election on expanding our definition of gender equity to radically and authentically include trans and nonbinary people. This feels even more pertinent to publish now, as a call to resist efforts to silence gender equity research.

Lastly, this work will absolutely continue, nonetheless. We’ve always been the ones clawing our way forward, and it would be a disservice to those who came before me to stop because I’m disheartened.

I feel like less than a human. As a scientist who studies queer cardiovascular health, it hurts to know that funders will be unable to support my work. It hurts to know my work will not be highlighted, keeping queer people in the dark. That helping people achieve health equity is frowned upon.

I’ve mostly kept my thoughts to myself the past few weeks, but I have thoughts for here, now. I am incredibly professionally and personally disheartened, but by no means surprised, that this administration is attacking the trans community. As a nonbinary person, it hurts to exist right now.

During my PhD, I met so many colleagues who only read papers for journal clubs or when their PI demanded it.

Reading the literature is a must for PhDs. It keeps you sharp, sparks ideas, builds critical thinking, and once it’s a habit, it’s even fun.
