Science is a career full of rejection & self doubt. Most scientists don't go around collecting awards & kudos but sit there wondering if anyone reads our papers. Telling a scientist whose work you like that you value & appreciate what they do is a small & very meaningful gesture.

Motivation is a myth. Taking action despite feeling low is what drives you closer to your goals.

Show up daily even when you don't want to. Success doesn't wait for your feelings or mood.

I rarely speak up, but when it happens so much… Dear grant reviewers: Stop suggesting male colleague “experts” to “oversee” research of female PIs who are experts themselves. Are the many, many pubs not sufficient credibility? This does not happen to male PIs. Trust female PIs.

Monitoring airborne pathogens with bacteria is the objective of @BBehkam and her team of collaborators in this @NSF-funded research. news.vt.edu/articles/2023/11…

Researchers secure $2 million grant to develop airborne pathogen-monitoring technology

With the funding, Bahareh Behkam and her team will use the funding to develop engineered living systems for indoor air monitoring.
