Excited to see this published and to be able to read the whole story! Exciting science and a tour de force. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Ragini also gave a phenomenal talk on this at GS-Connect (gs-connect.us).

Such a great meeting with a brilliant and supportive community. Also congrats to Georgia Moore, a 2nd year grad student in the lab, for winning an oral presentation award.

Such a great conference for trainees and early career scientists. Going back for the first time last year (since leaving the Midwest) this conference felt like home. Such a wonderful supportive DNA repair community. Awesome science and even better people!!

you can acknowledge contributions to science AND also acknowledge he was not a good person. This is not nuanced. He told you he was on a regular basis, believe him.

Given recent events, I do not have faith the university I work for will not sign this. And likely without faculty knowing they did.

So sad. I had to email my very talented 2nd year grad student to let her know the app she has been working on cannot be submitted 😢😭

It has been one of the harder weeks at work so far. This is a great article that clearly describes my viewpoints on the manner. We are all angry and afraid right now. www.thestate.com/opinion/arti...

I teach at Clemson. It shouldn’t have fired faculty for Charlie Kirk comments | Opinion
Mike Gregory, an assistant professor of philosophy at Clemson University, says it “has just shown the country what happens when a university forgets what it is.”

😢 RIP. Still to this day my favorite experiment in molecular biology.

This! This is how I review papers. We are the only ones that can fix this and stop asking for a lot of unnecessary experiments. I will say the last few manuscripts we have submitted have been reviewed this way as well.

This! i cringe every time I read that this is scientist’s fault because we don’t have spend more time convincing the public why our science matters. 1) I am socially awkward. 2) we have an office at the uni for that 3) I already don’t have enough time to do the other 19 jobs my job entails.

Yes!! One of the best pieces of advice I received as an Asst Prof is “The institution will never love you back”.

Not surprised. Complying will not work. The goal is to destroy. My heart breaks for all my colleagues at Columbia.

Such a big loss to the scientific community. I still remember when he came to Umich for a seminar when I was a grad student. Such a blast! Thinking of all the meiosis peeps today!

Small victory. After battling injuries and illness (stupid COVID), I ran for 30 minutes without stopping for the first time in 3+ years! Still slow as molasses right now but stoked about my progress!!!
