I am more excited than ever for this new opportunity for my family and I, which is bittersweet of course. Last, I have made great friends and started long lasting collaborations through this platform. As this is likely my last Tweet, I thank you all and wish everyone the best!

Some might say yes, but I believe you have to trust your gut and bet on yourself sometimes to truly be happy. I have learned many lessons as a professor and PI and I am eternally grateful for the effort of students and scientists from my lab.

In less than 2 weeks I will shut the doors to my lab for the last time and start an entirely new career. I am very thankful for my time at Virginia Tech and @vtbiochem where I received great support and had amazing colleagues. Is it scary leaving a tenured position? 🧵

So well deserved and I'm excited for your next chapter. You'll continue to do amazing science and be an exemplary mentor while upping your game even more in Chicago! Very excited for you and the family. Save a seat for me at a Cubs game!

This is the best journal cover of all time. Also, this may or may not be my office.

You're never too old for anything. And we listen to hundreds of songs a week. Smattered with 80s hair metal, pearl jam, and bands that rock synthesizers like they were made for the 80s. Should I set up a live web feed so you can virtually rock with us? 🎸🤘

Always having fun in the lab. Here are our songs of the day so far this week. The lab that rocks together, publishes together. #confucius

Since I spend a significant amount of time at the keyboard, I needed a change. Upgraded my key caps to something a bit brighter and I love it 🤙🏼🏝️. The before and after

I forgot to introduce the World to the new family and lab dog, Lord Haesten Cnut Slade, King of the Brittany’s and chief presider of the couch. And yes, he’s soft and awesome 😎 From 7-17 weeks
