Hey academics, after how many unsuccessful attempts were you able to secure funding?
Is there any rejection cut-off?

Academic growth is best understood not as a linear or exponential curve, but as a process of dispersal—spreading ideas, people, and collaborations outward into new domains.
#notetoself it’s dispersal, should be dispersal.

This summer, I’m mentoring three high school students, and they’re absolute rockstars! Three brilliant, budding minds who are eager to dive into STEM. The insightful questions they ask and how quickly they grow are simply astounding—it’s impossible not to be impressed.

Some exciting news! NCBI has finished the annotation pipeline for our new #zebrafish reference sequence GRCz12tu:

This is a big step up in data depth and quality and should be super helpful going forward.

I think I am my own “reviewer 2” 😅 I don’t like watching my presentation recordings but I should admit that it’s very useful for the progress. I know what I can do and I can see how close I was, and how I can improve myself. I took my notes and looking forward to having my next conference talk 😊

A study in Nature suggests that parrots and humans may use similar brain mechanisms to produce complex sounds. The study uncovers a specialized brain region in budgerigars that works in a similar way to speech-related regions in the human brain. https://go.nature.com/43VkmC5 🧪

All of them are wearing masks not because of pepper spray but being afraid of not to find a job if their faces are seen in one of these pics when they graduate, even they don’t know whether their diploma will still be valid! I’m so proud of all of them! They are shining diamonds!
And “we are clean”!
