Friends, if anyone is looking for an electron microscopist outside of the US, I'm listening. Open to any country, regardless of weather. Can do cryo, room temp, image anything from tissues to nanoparticles, viruses, catalysts, etc. Thanks for any lead(s).

Hoy se cumple 1️⃣ año desde que el USDA notificó la primera detección del #GripeAviar #H5N1 en ganado vacuno en EEUU.
Desde entonces, se han declarado brotes en 989 granjas de vacas en 17 estados y la infección se ha confirmado en 41 trabajadores (36 en California).

Many US students don’t know how to seek opportunities outside the US. With some help from our colleagues in EU and Canada, we could put together a consolidated website of PhD opportunities and scholarships outside the US, organized by field. There might still be time for this year in some places.
I’m having similar conversations and sharing international opportunities a lot. I’m sure for a lot of US based trainees that feels overwhelming. I moved to Europe for my postdoc.Happy to chat with any trainees about my experience if it would be helpful.
Heartbreaking chats this week with students thinking of giving up on their dreams of getting a PhD. They worry about getting in PhD programs and careers post PhD. My suggestions: don’t be hasty, think broadly incl EU & Canada, & careers beyond traditional academia. What’re you telling your students?

Me llaman de un programa de TV nacional para debatir con el exfutbolista Javi Poves sobre si la Tierra es plana o no.
Obviamente he dicho que no, porque:
1. Está en un libro de primaria.
2. No se debe tratar desde la equidistancia.
3. Dará igual lo que se le diga, no es una cuestión racional.

Feel free to contact me if you are interested in studying those tiny things that have RNA instead of DNA, that mutate so much and that use cells as supermarkets.
