As a basic scientist aiming for expertise in two fields, sometimes you have to be your own hype person. I’m excited to celebrate that I successfully isolated and cultured ileal enteroids in a liver lab! 🎉

What an inspiring @aasldnews.bsky.social TLM '25 in DC! The Monga lab went swinging with six posters (four of distinction), five talks, and three sessions moderated. It's great to be back in the liver sphere and celebrating cholangiocytes! Can't wait to see all the science at Denver next year!

More than half of the 1500 research grants that NSF has terminated under orders from Trump were to women, racial and ethnic minorities, veterans, and low-income and rural students, groups targeted by his administration.

science.org

NSF’s grant cuts fall heaviest on scientists from underrepresented groups

Projects to broaden participation were cut disproportionately—and were often led by Black scientists, women, and those with disabilities
