SO THRILLED to welcome Dr. Miguel Guardado to the #newPhD club! 🎉 His exit talk was incredible, and his acknowledgements among the most impassioned I’ve heard. So proud of him and all he’s accomplished! Please read his words of hope—take up space! Progress takes us all. @scimiguel.bsky.social

Trying to wrangle highly scored but unfunded grants to fit within new NIH priorities, but in a way that will still be effective to achieve your goals and you are still excited about the work… hopefully we all find that comfort soon…

Yesterday, I took a moment to celebrate some big wins with a lovely bottle of rum gifted to me from Paraguay: an award I can’t disclose yet and two major NIH grants that will fuel exciting work ahead!! #CelebrateWins

Part 2. After pitting 5lbs of cherries, my hands are completely stained, and there is red splatter everywhere… I feel like I’m in a Dexter kill zone… a complete maceration in here!

Needed some major baking therapy today… first time making empanadas! May not make them again for a long while, but these are amazing. Mexa-nadian chocolate and (fresh picked) cherry. Would share but they will be gone before you get here… #procrastibaking #bakingtherapy

Is this a pernicious phishing attempt to identify DEI leaders? This org doesn't appear to exist, which Google emojifies as a monster fishing... Which may be an amazingly accurate representation of this email attempt... Anyone familiar with this or get a similar email? (no need to out yourself)

V. strange! I have 2 grants with fundable scores (#humblebrag), both had council meetings scheduled in early Feb that never happened. Both asked for JIT (one before/one after scheduled council meeting). Oddly, one switched to "Council review completed" (NHLBI), other still "Pending" (NIGMS)... 🤷♂️ 🤞
