Scientists are unfairly and devastatingly seeing their grants cut and careers thrown into uncertainty, yet are still working 24/7 to continue their research, treat patients, talk to journalists, advocate with elected officials, and keep the public informed about potential threats. Absolute heroes!

Are you a PI interested in redirecting to something new? @simonsfoundation.org is now accepting applications for their Pivot Fellowships. I'm grateful to be a Simons Pivot Fellow (I'm pivoting from memory to mood). Very few mechanisms like this exist. www.simonsfoundation.org/2025/03/03/s...

I don’t even know how this could be presented as being in service of anything other than hindering scientific progress.

Looking for a collaborator/mentor who can help me with some survey data analysis (Likert-scale questions, etc.). The project is on PT curricula focusing on pelvic health and oncology. This is a skill I never really learned and really need someone who doesn’t mind teaching me the basics.

Women in Academia — “The academic structure ... with its relentless relocations, temporary contracts, and focus on individual achievement, makes planning for a family feel like an impossible luxury.”
science.org
As women in academia, having children can feel impossible. Talking about it makes us feel less alone
The struggle is “balancing their careers not just with motherhood, but with what comes before: relationships and planning for a family,” these postdocs write

A decomposing figure holds up its own heart for contemplation. This transi was produced by sculptor François Pompon in the 19thC, and it can be seen in the Palais de beaux arts in Lille, France. It’s a reproduction of the one produced for the tomb of René de Chalon in Bar le Duc in the 16thC.

New paper! For all of you working with 3d scans (e.g. micro-CT, MRI), check out SPROUT, a rapid open-source tool for generating segmented and parcellated data, meaning your scans are separated into the individual elements without any manual labelling or training. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Throwback to some of my favorite #scicomm… if it involves human evolution, anatomy, or 3D prints… I’m there! I still do a lot of outreach/education, but these days it mostly involves the cadaver lab. If you are an educator in MD/DE area and are interested in a tour, please reach out! 🧪🧠👩🏼‍🔬
