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!

Shoot me a DM or an email and I can help! I can help you find all the files to 3D print (or convert open-source CT scans into 3D-printable files) and either walk you through how to print them there or even print them at my institution! I would love to help with this ❤️

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...

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.

Offer to early career faculty, grad students, local HS teachers! When I ran HOSA club in a public HS, anatomy profs donate books to us and it made it so that my students didn’t have to go out and buy books in order to compete. It was so helpful.

Hoping to reach fellow anatomy professors with this question- in your experience, what are some reasons a donor might have a missing/reduced greater omentum? (Picture from Sobotta’s Human Anatomy 1908)

I totally agree. But the hard part is, how to you help those students? We go over “study skills” multiple times in their first semester, and they meet with me one-on-one as well. But it really seems like a “you can lead a horse to water but you can’t force them to drink” situation to me.

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.”

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.
