I really wish I knew… any suggestions?

A shame I missed out on the cake but a joy to have been there and met so many great people
Days 2 and 3 of #AAASmtg were so action-packed I only now got a chance to post about them! More insightful and inspiring conversations about the state and future of energy policy and scicomm. And many new friends made, as well as finally meeting longtime internet friend @neurosciallgire.bsky.social!

So a former postdoc from our department had just started as a PO at NIH and was terminated in the wave of terminations last week. He is in the research triangle and a phenomenal scientist with expertise in stress and glia. If anyone in the RTI is hiring asap please let me know! #neuroskyence

What the NIH funding cuts show is that average Americans have absolutely no idea how much of their economy and just general lives depends on scientific research.

I am so so SO excited to share the final version of my FIRST first author paper. My thesis work is exploring the relationship between PTSD and severe asthma, and this work sets the stage for the bulk of that.
