"As out of fashion as it is to talk this way, we are all really in this together. Academia and industry do different things most of the time, and we each benefit from that. And that’s why the silence from industry about what’s going on with the NIH et al. is so infuriating."
Biopharma companies and CEOs are keeping their heads down at their own peril. They should speak up about what’s happening to the NIH and other science agencies before it’s too late.
Silence gives consent. And no one should consent to this.

There is something about a haka that is absolutely undeniable. It’s embodied resistance to colonization that is completely alive & a source of strength & determination. It’s a practice that reminds these people of their power. They blocked this bill that would have rolled back indigenous rights.

This allowed her to reduce the size of the data files needed to describe the sequence of amino acids in a protein, which I can imagine was a big deal in the 1960s, when hard drives had MB capacities 💾

This is terrible. To me, this is a signal that the department chair does not care about their colleague. I would also write a great letter but I will also add that the department chair needs to do more to support their colleagues in the letter.
Dear all dept chairs:
Pls give tenure & promotion letter writers more than 2-3wks. This is really important.
Dear all Asst (and Assoc) profs,
Yes, I'm going to agree to write a letter, and yes, I'm going to do a good job. Don't worry.

This is such an important lesson, y'all: peer networks are so often where the most relevant and useful support can happen.
Here’s what I tell my student when they express this anxiety:
Write in community along the way and your community will be there to support you further down the path too.
Share your work with friends. Go to readings and cheer on peers and mentors. Activate yourself as a literary citizen.

Instead they all wanted to know how best to insulate themselves from it
