I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year. Republicans in Washington did this. This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

As a Norwegian-American, I must say I’m really sick of all this white supremacist Valhalla bullshit. Most Viking Age Norwegians were not cruising around in longships pillaging & blood-eagling their enemies, unless by that you mean growing barley, cod fishing, & herding sheep.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but Iron is a cofactor in making dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. XO, Dr. Jen

Humility is not a lack of confidence. It's a lack of arrogance. Arrogance says: I can do great things and you can't, so I'm better than you. Confidence says: I can do great things and so can you, let's work together. You can own your skills without diminishing those of others.

Scientists developed a way to engineer immune cells called T cells within a living organism. The approach could make CAR T cell therapies more accessible for treating cancer and autoimmune diseases. nih.gov/news-events/nih-rese…

Actually, here’s a hint: don’t compare yourself to your peers - compare yourself to the people in positions that you aspire to - what they did they need to do to get to that place?
Every PhD is different, try not to compare yourself.

Down over 60%. That’s how far federal research funding has fallen compared to this time last year. Every delay in funding is a delay in delivering for the health of American people.

Ever joined a new lab and felt that not knowing where/what stuff is was holding your research back? Yeah, same. Kudos to Kage & Taylor from our lab for a beautiful piece in @TrendsBiochem highlighting how lab inventory systems support independence. doi.org/10.1016/j.tibs.2024.…

If you have a leadership job, then you also have a kindness job. Yes, there is work to get done and goals to meet. But we also have a responsibility to leverage our authority and decision making capability to uphold human dignity.

Being rigorous about science does not mean we have to be cruel in how we interact as scientists. Sadly, there are people who are cruel without ever being rigorous. Encouragingly, there are people who are kind while also being rigorous. We can each choose how we treat others.

Hey, I did an experiment: I decided to ask if it was possible to lead an academic lab (ok, 70% core) with kindness. No absurd pressures, understanding, and comprehension to the fact we are human beings trying to do our best. Turns out it surpasses expectations. Try it, please.
