One thing about Dolly’s Imagination Library that I haven’t seen highlighted is how inclusive the books are. They feature stories about families from different ethnic backgrounds. Many of them are written in both english and spanish. They celebrate differences. What a legacy ❤️ 📖

In a million years I could never be as classy as Dolly Parton. I so admire her -the world has never seen someone with so much confidence and not a shred of arrogance. May her memory be a blessing -and an inspiration -to us all ❤️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=If-o...

This is a setup for obscuring the impact of the political review of grants, which is fixing to be massive. It also greases the skids for corruption and funneling money away from universities and toward venture capitalists. Please vote this November, friends. It’s bad out here.

A wee explainer on why the NIH hiding impact scores and percentages from peer review of grants: 1. Spend 6 months writing proposal 2. Submit to NIH 3. Peers review it, give it a score, and it’s ranked by percentile—the lower, the better 4. If you’re in the 1st percentile you can expect funds

Just so it’s clear: putting Dr. Fauci in the spotlight for this humiliation ritual wasn’t a long time coming. It’s a distraction from the ongoing foodborne illness outbreakS (plural) that illustrate current failures of their public health policies. Stop 👏 taking 👏 the bait 👏

I feel like a bare minimum criteria for Primate Leadership should be Understanding How Bananas Work. Like, on one hand, of course we’re not going to ask you, ‘Do you understand how bananas work?’ We will just assume you do. BUT! If you demonstrate inability to clear that hurdle you must resign.

Let's learn a lesson from the nearly 500K of us who mobilized to comment on the OMB rules. We can leave the sidelines, take action and it can make a difference. After 15 months of inaction, our scientific societies finally woke up and mobilized members. It doesn't stop there 1/n

Funny story… Setting up our lab meeting schedule is tricky for a few reasons. The process we finally found is that i create a draft schedule and we edit it as a group, it takes about 10 minutes. One student tried to get AI to make the schedule and it failed spectacularly. At making a schedule.

🪼 Your tax dollars paid a scientist to squeeze jellyfish through cheesecloth. Osamu Shimomura processed tens of thousands on an NSF grant to understand why they glow. He found a protein that glowed green under UV light. Called it "green protein." Nobody cared. For decades.

This photo of Andy Kim in the moments before ICE gassed everyone at Delaney Hall is going into the history books. We need more of this from our electeds.

Senator Andy Kim runs into the street as an ICE armored vehicle behind him prepares to deploy chemical agents against protestors in front of Delaney Hall concentration camp in Newark, NJ. His hands are outstretched and he appears to be shouting.

One fun pregnancy symptom is rhinitis due to increased blood flow at mucus membranes. Meaning I’m already congested, and it makes it hard to sleep. And my body already aches. And I’m already tired AF. I don’t want so much as a common cold to make that worse. Better believe I’m in a N95 on flights.

Since my first pregnancy was during COVID lockdown, this time I get to enjoy some *fabulous* symptoms that make being pregnant in academia truly breathtaking. Literally, presenting seminars when I can’t catch my breath. Now it’s vision changes that make reading difficult. #momademia 🧪 #newPI
