This job is hard and absolute chaos mixed with emotional taxation sometimes, but all in all, this is where I want to be. I am thankful to the people who have helped me make this place my scientific home 🏡 🩸 🧪

Happy 4th birthday, Termini Lab! So grateful that I get to work with this outstanding group of scientists every day to explore the cool and complex underworkings of hematopoiesis. We are another year older, smarter, and stronger! ❤️🐁🩸☢️🍭🎂

This work highlights the need to continue to study off-target effects that may exist in even the most exquisitely targeted forms of radiation delivery, like RIT. We are in an era of exceptional targeting, but the the microenvironment is clearly still sensitive to the impact 🩸 ☢️ 🦴

Excited to share recent work from our lab in @bloodjournal.bsky.social #BloodAdvances! We studied the impact of CD45-targeted radioimmunotherapy (RIT) on the bone marrow vascular niche. Turns out the vasculature is majorly disrupted by hematopoietic targeted RIT ☢️🩸 shorturl.at/qzWIB

My goal this week is to protect my peace. I’m going to take a deep breath instead of reacting to frustrations as they arise. Who’s with me?

My cup is so full after spending last week at the Keystone Meeting on Hematopoiesis. Time with cutting-edge science, supportive mentors & colleagues, and getting to share this with members of my lab was priceless. Excited to bring new ideas back to the lab - blood rules! ♥️🩸

This faculty journey would be so much harder without a best friend to go through it with. We share all the drama, all the wins, and all the in between. I hope every PI finds a person who gets them like we get each other - thank for @myron_evansPhD this and every season ♥️ 🍁

Recent office addition: peel and stick wallpaper to add some more brightness to accompany my endowed purple chair. It’s a dark time right now, so every bit helps keep me inspired and focused to take on the challenges that each day brings ♥️ 🌺 🩸 🦙

#NewPI achievement unlocked: first manuscript rejection 🫠☢️🫠🩸🫠 Bart is disappointed that we weren’t invited to resubmit, but at least we made it to review and got some useful feedback. Gotta keep it moving…

Said farewell to Jen Adair who is heading to UMass Chan to lead their Gene Therapy Center. Couldn’t be more grateful to have gotten to learn from her scientifically & professionally. I’ll keep holding down the fort here, but it’s gonna be harder now ♥️ 🧬 Congrats, Jen: www.umassmed.edu/gtc/

My new routine is that every morning, I spend about 30 minutes ruminating in despair with Bart. I’m so profoundly sad about what science has become. Sending strength to everyone who is trying to carry on ♥️ 🐈‍⬛ #NewPI

Feels even weirder/more important to share this news... last night, I was honored with the Fred Hutch Excellence in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion award at our faculty conclave. I'm thankful that my efforts continue to be supported, especially during these complex times 🧵

Time to bring #TheLabEdit to this blue place… We implemented a riser spice rack into our chemical bay to make it easier to see/grab the chemicals in the back. Form and function, would definitely work inside of fridges or cabinets as well 🫙🫙🫙

Easier said than done, but I highly recommend finding a Best Pal™️ who is at a similar career stage to share the good, bad, and ridiculous with. Sometimes you just gotta slide into someone’s DMs to ask if they wanna hang out and talk about PI things 😂🍹
