I just did an updated calculation of what happens to America if we do nothing. And it is nothing short of terrifying.
The current rate of spread is a near-perfect exponential. If we do not change our behavior dramatically and fast, here is what the math says: 1/n

On Thursdays, we usually highlight a single RNA scientist on our little platform. But since the Women In Science-Day was just two days ago, we wanted to take the opportunity to emphasize the importance and necessity of female researchers in general and in our field. (1/4)

From a paper published in @nature yesterday by @HarvardMed scientists.
I just reported it to the EiC, with shaking hands and pounding heart because scary to see that this passed #peerreview and editorial screening in such a high impact journal.

When we see a speaker who is relaxed and spontaneous, we think that must come naturally to them. The reality is that they probably practice and prepare more than anyone. It's easiest to be successful at going off script when you have the script mastered.

Worst career advice I've received:
(1) Don't get too ambitious
(2) Don't spend much time on education
(3) Don't treat your group members as colleagues
