I went to Capitol Hill yesterday as part of the @isscr.org advocacy day to talk about two emergent issues: 1) the defunding of public research, and 2) the threats of deregulation of unproven stem cell products.

Not long after I started my lab, a prominent scientist told me it was “impossible” to be a successful PI and a mother Don’t ever let the naysayers tell you it can’t be done - of course it can! #HappyMothersDay this weekend to all the amazing scientist mamas raising their wonderful kids 🥰

“The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas — hardly a partisan institution — finds that nondefense government R&D yields long-run economic returns of 150% to 300% …“Our findings therefore point to a misallocation of public capital, and substantial underinvestment in nondefense R&D.”

Starting a new lab?! The most important factors for choosing the university/institute/company are: the colleagues, students & postdocs, the leadership, equipment, the lab space and start-up funds; IN THAT ORDER.

How to write a grant? 1. The application is for the reviewer, not you, the applicant. 2. Communicate in stories. 3. Make your story cohesive—leave no puzzling gaps. 4. Make your story resonate to keep the reviewer reading. 5. Accept chance and noise in peer-review. www.pnas.org/doi/epub/10....
