America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

It’s horrific that there are students who lived through Parkland and are now going through a second school shooting at FSU.

The government has failed our children. It doesn’t have to be this way.

I was on campus today, ran to a locked lab when I got the alert, was locked down for hours.

My 3y old was also locked down at FSU childcare.

I am still very much in shock, and scared. This is so preventable. Thank you for being the only politician I’ve seen so far for saying something, Sen Booker
My heart is with the FSU community, and the victims as they recover. Firearms are the leading cause of death for children and teens and there have been over 300 incidents of gunfire on college campuses since 2013–not including mass shootings.

Senator Booker has moved me to tears multiple times and is STILL GOING. What an absolute badass.

I just finished a 👎🏼 self-improvement book & kept thinking how it would be torn apart in a peer review YET it’s not subject to that. Would love to start a club of scientists someday to peer review these books & post it with supports that may actually help the people trying to better themselves.

I had a convo with my husband last week about what we love about America, what actually makes it great. The landscape and national parks were #1 on both of our lists. This image, and the events that led to it, feel devastating. I have immense gratitude for these fed workers.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ a cozy sci-fi in a hellscape of a week. Keeping up fiction reading is the only thing keeping me sane 🙂

Keme presented our poster at the 2025 Vanderbilt Translational Research Forum today! The work I’ve done with QRC is some of the most rewarding work I’ll ever do 🤍 #vanderbilt #translationalresearch

I’m not sure if it’s because I’m a baby academic or because the situation is so niche and nuanced, but I’ve been struggling to explain to my friends and family how cutting NIH, NSF, and IES funding will disrupt our higher education and health systems, some of the things that actually make us great.

To quell the anxiety of making a late-ish in life career switch to academia, right as NIH gets nerfed, I started seeds for my garden today.

4 weeks later than I should have, because I’m a PhD student so absolutely nothing is on time in my life except for course assignments.

This is an excellent explainer. Witty, clear, and appropriately dire.

Make them tell you, specifically, what you're not allowed to do. Don't make changes you guess that they want. Don't offer them a menu of things that you infer they might be telling you not to do. Do the work you proposed, and received funding to do, unless instructed otherwise in specific detail.

During my maternity “leave” last sem, I helped write 3 trainee fellowship applications to NIH & NSF. Probably ~50 hrs of my time, certainly hundreds of theirs. All have reviews occurring in ~month. In some cases it affects their ability to stay in my lab. This grant review shutdown is devastating.
