A tree fell on my fence few months ago. Neither my spouse nor I are handy, and we left it in its unkempt state. My neighbor took it up on himself to buy the materials, and fix it (after he checked with us). Welcome to Iowa! People are way too nice here.

First R01 application went from "Not discussed" to an amazing score in the resubmission! I am still in shock, but sharing this to offer hope to anyone who might have received the dreaded ND this application cycle. Your amazing score is just one submission away! Keep doing your awesome science!

Very happy to share these photos from the winter commencement at Indiana University! @subashree.bsky.social officially graduated with her Ph.D. in Vision Science. To say that I am proud of her would be an understatement! Wish you all the very best in your future endeavors, Subashree!
