Today, we wrapped up an incredible summer with our SPUR intern, Karla Arcelay Garcia, who returned for a second year and absolutely shined. Watching her growth over these two summers has been inspiring, she came back more driven, more curious, and even more fearless. Way to go, Karla! #ProudMentor

NIH-funded research is at risk. Cuts to federal funding could harm science and the economy. Contact Congress now to protect research. Every call matters. Find your reps at govtrack.us and speak up today. #FundScience

A big loss and very bad sign for NIH, folks
Lawrence Tabak, longtime principal deputy director of the National Institutes of Health, has abruptly resigned—surprising even his own lab staff and the broader community. scim.ag/4hR40OE

Happy #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience. This year, I was asked to record a video to talk about what a scientist do and bring some contemporary role models to elementary school kids in my home country, Spain. Cute flyer of what they learn (in Spanish) #WomenInSTEM #RepresentationMatters
