I'm excited to have this review article out in @cp-trendsbiochem.bsky.social ! In a collaboration with the Darnell lab, we discuss the complexity of the ribosome ubiquitin code and what the field has done to crack this intricate signaling code!

Watching (needed) energy, collaboration & collective effort about NIH indirect costs by institutions/societies & the difference in energy & collective efforts around rollback of DEI took me back to impetus to write "Make equity essential to expedite change in academia" www.nature.com/articles/s41...

When they came for Black & Brown folks, or #DEI efforts, I heard very little commotion Only now with these new directives has the scientific community become concerned with the future of research & academic institutions It will not stop here. If you are not rich & conservative, you are at risk!

As this is a delicate political moment, in which words are being weaponized, can we get some of the language right? DIVERSE is a feature of group, not a person! A person is what they are. There is no such thing as a diverse hire/employee. Thank you. www.scientificamerican.com/blog/voices/...

Extremely important thread. NIH (and what will likely be NSF next) are and have been important agencies for *all* of us, whether you know/understand that yet or not.
