The NSF is on track to award 30% fewer new research grants this year—the lowest number in four decades. Basic science is the foundation of future medicines, technologies, and prosperity. We must fund it. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Maud Menten was born in Canada in 1879 and completed her UG and MD education at University of Toronto. As a research assistant with Leonor Michaelis in 1912, they wrote the classic paper describing the “Michaelis-Menten” model of enzyme kinetics.. #WomenInScience

Working with WANDA (and Emory!) was one of the highlights of my PhD, and I’m looking forward to my group returning someday to take advantage of these amazing tools. Also excited for the Automating Chemical Laboratories Scialog conference this week to think about how the field moves into the future!
