Completed a submission for the BioRender 2025 Grant Support Initiative. This initiative is to provide funds to labs affected by the funding cuts in the US. I submitted a graphic/figure I made using Biorender for my Burroughs Wellcome Grant I was awarded in 2023. Here's a link to learn more:

While I’m a big fan of new technologies that help us study human biology…there’s still no replacement for animal research! See my article in Gen News. www.genengnews.com/topics/trans...
Why We Still Need Animal Research in a World of AI and Organoids
The portrayal of uncaring scientists without any thought for the animals being used in their research is far from the truth.

This is fascinating!
Why do some people leap to help while others hold back?
New research traces these choices to how we perceive need, merit, and fairness, patterns that stay surprisingly stable over time.

What shapes kindness?
People appear to have stable individual differences in their tendency to perceive neediness or deservingness of others, which in turn shapes their willingness to help others.

As a diversity grant dies, young scientists fear it will haunt their careers
The Trump administration defunded the National Institute of Health's MOSAIC grant program, which launched the careers of scientists from diverse backgrounds.

First Principle of Academic Freedom:

Second Principle of Academic Freedom:
Other scientists have the right to say we are wrong.
The end. Let’s stand up for those. 🧪
