Thank you to @asmicrobiology for allowing us to give talks, share our research, and connect with students at #ABRCMS2025. We enjoyed the opportunity to promote our young researchers & share our work with the community
A week full of excitement and inspiration at #ABRCMS2025. Grateful to return for the 3rd time with my research students and to watch them grow within the broader scientific community. Moments like these remind me why mentorship is such a privilege. ✨🔬💙 #STEMcommunity #FutureInScience
APHL connected with professionals at #ABRCMS2025 (Nov 19–22), sharing career pathways in public health laboratory science and engaging with attendees dedicated to strengthening the laboratory workforce. #APHLinternship #APHLfellowship #workforcedevelopment

👏 Congrats to all the @jacksonlab.bsky.social SSP alums who presented their research!
The #ABRCMS2025 conference was my first scientific meeting as an undergrad, and it was the experience that propelled me into science. Being back this week, surrounded by brilliant, aspiring young scientists, has been incredible. #seeingisbelieving
Y’all…we worked and Biochemistry was ahead but suddenly Immuno came back strong to steal the lead (😁). Let’s take back and lead and support our students! Details below #ABRCMS2025

GW IBS hippos at San Antonio riverwalk
Gracias por una #ABRCMS2025 inolvidable San Antonio - our GWIBS hippo herd is officially starting the trek to Seattle! 🛣️ #ABRCMS2026
#ABRCMS2025 and providing training to the NIH K99/R00–ASM MOSAIC awardees!
Being able to support and mentoring the next generation of STEM professionals is truly inspiring, especially during these challenging times.

There are now far more places which have biotechnology hubs which aren't Boston and San Francisco so look for opportunities in other cities like LA, San Diego, Houston, Chicago, Seattle etc. Lauren Celano at #ABRCMS2025
Lauren Celano has a podcast called "Propelling Careers" with Dr. Jim Gould from Harvard. They give amazing career advice so listen to it on Apple and Spotify! #ABRCMS2025
Life Sci VC is a blog you may want to follow for more information about the funding space. Lauren Celano at #ABRCMS2025
Fierce Biotech have a layoff tracker so you can be aware of how a company is doing. Lauren Celano at #ABRCMS2025
Funding cuts have lead to uncertainty. Regulatory changes at the FDA also affects funders as companies timelines are unknown. Therefore they are less likely to invest which leads to less jobs. Lauren Celano at #ABRCMS2025
There are some areas of opportunity. Digital health, digital transformation, AI, AI medical devices, IT are all potential areas which are still hiring. Lauren Celano at #ABRCMS2025
So proud of you! We aren't at #ABRCMS2025 but we're glad that you're there to support all those attending. Thanks for giving back.

Me in front of the ABRCMS sign
16 (! What?) years ago I went to my first ABRCMS and was welcomed and encouraged to pursue my scientific dreams. I met folks that provided direct feedback on my graduate school applications and served a pivotal role in my career. I am honored return and give back again as faculty.

Speed date AI tools, prolifically. Don’t trust them. Propel yourself forward on the edge.

AI ethics. What happens if you give permission to an AI platform to use your image but you don't revoke it before you die. They could theoretically keep using your image in any circumstance they want. Justin Shaifer #ABRCMS2025
Apparently failure tolerance is a general life skill. Fail, learn, keep going!

How we do what we do is as important as what we do (Team work)
Lattice in your ladder—take lateral opportunities (linear career paths are rare)
Success means failing fast because your time is limited (prioritization leads to impact)
