I'm so honored and thrilled to be awarded an R01 from the National Cancer Institute at National Institutes of Health (NIH) to continue my work on WNK1 signaling in glioblastoma! This is my favorite kind of science, and I'm so excited to get started.

I am so honored to receive a VeloSano Pilot Grant in support of my research on glioblastoma! Velosano's mission is to advance groundbreaking cancer research from laboratory discoveries to life-saving treatments, and I am grateful to be a part of this community.

And taught me to ask questions, answer questions, and present data both orally and written, skills that I now try to pass on. All my best wishes to Jon on his retirement. I'll always remember how he could show up to a seminar 10 minutes late and ask a great question one minute later.

99.4% of new drugs approved by the FDA are the product of NIH funded research. Remember this every time you see another headline on the NIH funding cuts. It will directly impact YOU. #ScienceNOTSilence

I'm sorry for raining on this parade, but the "transgender mice" talking point is bullshit, but not because someone mistook "transgenic" for "transgender." The blog post that kicked it off (from a partisan bullshit website) listed a number of papers testing the effects of sex hormones on animals.

Big congratulations to my graduate mentor on his retirement! Jon is a classic academic, and I got the best training there. In my mind, the Cooper lab will exist at the Hutch forever.

My R01 was just assigned to a study section! (Not the one I asked for, but who can be picky right now?) And it finally has an ID number. I'm going to choose to look at this as progress.

1/ I am seeing a lot of comments on the slashing of NIH support along the lines of “universities should just spend their huge endowments.” I’m the last person to cheer on the institutional stratification rising endowments have contributed to. But let me explain why this is not a solution.

If you have been affected by the fires in LA, or are concerned about your ability to keep precious Drosophila strains going during the latest funding crisis, we will host your strains as a backup. Please email me. Please amplify. If you are also able to host fly strains, add your name as well.
