I miss the community of scientists I was able to build on the old twitter. Y’all opened up my eyes to so many cool things. I want to re-engage! Yet, I’m wary of social media and probably will be more guarded about my views. A lot of vindictive people out there with too much power on their hands.

Hats off to all the fantastic women who taught me so much when they were in my laboratory and who now run their own research groups!
Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science 🧪👩🔬

Hope it lasts!
At least temporarily staving off what many saw as a crushing blow to U.S. biomedical research, a federal judge has suspended a plan by the Trump administration to slash billions of dollars in payments from the NIH that now go to universities to cover the overhead costs of research. scim.ag/40T7g5q
Judges suspend NIH plan to slash payments and order health agencies to restore web pages
Lawsuits argued that cutting “indirect cost” rate would have “devastating” impact on research
