The next Einstein, Curie, or Salk might be sitting in a lab right now, wondering if they should quit. Don’t let them. Fund science like the future depends on it…because actually it does.

Dear partners of medical people: Thank you for supporting us. Know that decision fatigue is real & after a busy day of work we often can't make another decision at home... it's not because we don't love you or don't care, we are just mentally spent. Thanks for loving us anyway.

The fact I’m not eligible for a bunch of grants/awards because I’m not tenure track is getting on my nerves. Third time I’ve gotten a reply back with “oh sorry we meant tenure track only when we said independent..” Sigh. Roadblocks to science.

Superb keynote lecture at #ASMB2023 by Erkki Ruoslahti. Maybe it is bc I am getting old, but I love these historic talks. All the way from discovery of fibronectin, RGD sequence, and integrins to the presence!

Imagine being black, queer and having student loans in this country over the past two days. The racists and homophobes on social media did not hold back their disdain for us. Still we rise.

I'll be honest, the argument in favor of Early Career Investigator (ESI) preferences during the NIH grant review process parallels that for affirmative action, but it's beyond me why some would justifiably support the former while being ardently opposed to the latter.

Breaking: point of order was SUSTAINED on Sb 18, the tenure bill, kicking bill back to House higher ed committee. @ronreynolds called point of order that bill analysis was misleading. #txlege
