For #WorldPolioDay, @asm.org named the University of Pittsburgh a Milestones in Microbiology site to honor Dr. Jonas Salk for developing the world’s first polio vaccine. After use in the early 1950s, it reduced paralytic polio in the U.S. by 96% in only a few years.

This show makes me feel awful yet I keep watching to see what happens. They are all terrible people.
The problem with a show like Black Rabbit on Netflix is that they’re all bad guys. There’s no one I’m rooting for, no one I care about.

Like they are all pieces of sh!t.

I’ve thought about this several times over the years

My heart is broken for all of my #CDC and #NIH colleagues and friends.

You don’t deserve this.

A discovery doesn't usually happen as a single moment but in 3 phases:
1. Observing the results from experiments & analyses,
2. Realizing the big story when writing up the paper,
3. Understanding what's truly new about the work when presenting to friends, reviewers & audiences.

Two sisters side by side. Sunny spent one night away and is back today with Gizmo. I wonder if Sunny will stay for the night? #bigbeareagles

Sunny fledged the nest today. I can’t seem to share it here. So go find the video. I am legit 😭☠️. Gizmo watching her fly away from the nest…😓

Way too many parallels with my son graduating and heading off to college…

I am thinking a lot today about how heavy things feel in my world of faculty doing scientific research. There's the immediate chaos and panic about our ability to pay people and continue our research. But there's also a deeper grief at watching everything get bulldozed for no reason

Wishing us all this level of peace ✌🏼 ☮️
