Today we’re having cakes to celebrate Philippe Vincent’s first funded NIH grant! And he made that fancy looking cake himself! Get yourselves some French colleagues who bake, my friends. It makes the lab meeting so much better 🤣

Thinking about how even short funding lapses may affect the small businesses that keep us caffeinated and fed. Scientists spend money in their communities, but only if we get paid😢
