Ignorant, cruel, and shortsighted are but a few of the words I have to describe the current administration - they are destroying the fabric of government and who knows what else.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Questions today about vaccines might just be a product of their success. Here’s what people should know about six once-common illnesses that vaccines have contained for decades.

But please dont share this as a mantra for success. If your success comes at the direct expense of your colleagues because they are doing all the work everyone is supposed to share in, it does not make you ‘successful’ it just makes you a horrible colleague.

We have a guest tonight - Found a lost dog (no collar, not neutered) in our neighborhood. Sheltering him for the night; I feel so bad we can't afford to keep him (Ziggy and Bilbo are already very demanding.) It makes me sad to have to surrender him tomorrow.

I always have fun including the mascot of the school I am giving a talk at because they are usually warm-blooded animals, thus can be infected with Toxoplasma. Today will be an exception: the mascot is a SHARK!

A renewed reminder to anyone applying for a PhD or postdoc position in a lab--indicate your interest in the email/cover letter by talking a bit about that lab's work and why it would be a good fit. I answer any query that includes this information but do not answer those that do not.
