Excited to share recent work from our lab in @bloodjournal.bsky.social #BloodAdvances! We studied the impact of CD45-targeted radioimmunotherapy (RIT) on the bone marrow vascular niche. Turns out the vasculature is majorly disrupted by hematopoietic targeted RIT ☢️🩸 shorturl.at/qzWIB

Very excited to share the most recent review from our lab, available online and soon in #BiochemSocTrans! This review covers an area of ongoing research in the lab: the role of TAM receptors in the spread of non-enveloped viruses portlandpress.com/biochemsoctr...

A beautiful rainbow in the sky over the ocean today to wrap up #girlstrip!

Dolphins off the beach this morning! Happy Mother’s Day!!! 🥰

"I am constantly encouraging people to nurture the tender parts of themselves, because our willingness to experience empathy, to feel other people’s pain, & to remain aware of tragedies & perils that so many others ignore, can become scabbed & scarred over." organizingmythoughts.org/bad-dreams-a...

It’s amazing how you can write one bad grant, while recovering from surgery, and suddenly everyone thinks you write bad grants. Good writing, bad writing: it doesn’t really matter. Just publish. That’s the truth.

If you would like to support my classroom this week, here is my wishlist: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... Appreciate you all!

It seems that even when your strong friends tell you they are struggling, no one hears. Everyone is so used to them figuring it out, that there’s never any real help. Don’t just check on your strong friends: show up for them.

Oh hey - it's me! I'm at the table presenting Article 42! (Not only me - this is this result of months of committee work, and I'm co-presenting with a colleague from the med school side).

I‘m happy to see Rockefeller Press (publisher of @jcb.org and @lsajournal.org) provide explicit guidance about how to comply with NIH publication policies without having to pay gold OA fees: “You wrote it, you choose how to comply.” 🧪 rupress.org/pages/nih-hh...

I just donated to ABRCMS. It is my favorite conference, and it so beautifully showcases the spirit of what science is and can be. Don't let that light fade, donate now please! donate.abrcms.org

ABRCMS was my 1st conference. I attended with these two at a critical point in my career and my experience there cemented my trajectory in science. This is us at ABRCMS in my 1st year as faculty. Please use the link below to donate and keep ABRCMS going for future generations! donate.abrcms.org

New Data Management and Sharing Plan format required for NIH grants submitted after May 25, 2026 (so for EI MIRAs due May 27, 2026) 🧪 grants.nih.gov/grants-proce... grants.nih.gov/policy-and-c...

I love SciDraw. Excited to check out the other resources as well!

I am looking for a new reserach technician. This is an entry level position ideal for a graudating senior. Please re-post and send candidates my way! [email protected]

Last day to vote! Details in the comments of the original post 🤞🏾😁

I spent 18 years hearing Universities say “oh our funds are our best umbrella to survive the rainy days” … now I keep asking myself: is it raining enough for them already? Have they burned the umbrella? - I guess they were thinking of the great flood …

I agree wholeheartedly with the comment to this post. For years when asking for funding for various initiatives, we were told some funds are not accessible because they exist to protect the university during tough financial periods. Aren’t we there yet?

Sharing this screen grab from a friend at NIH (with permission). This is a checklist program officers have to complete before a grant can be awarded. The first question: "Is this grant All Clean/Clear in the NIH Text analysis Tool?" 🧵1/3

SO excited for @berlowlab.bsky.social on this HUGE achievement!!!! Be on the lookout for more exciting work on intrinsically disordered proteins from the Berlow Lab soon! 🎉 news.unchealthcare.org/2026/04/berl...

I tell my kids often that what defines you isn’t what you do on the easy days but what you do on the hard ones. With that said, yes I’m going to the stupid gym now

96% of surveyed early career researchers on NIH K awards reported that federal changes in science funding has impacted their career stability

If anyone in the Chapel Hill area needs help this summer, send me a message. My middle child will be home and is seeking work. I’m clearly biased, but they are a super talented and hard working graphic design/animation student with experience as an administrative assistant and in career counseling 😁

✨I’m honored to be a 2026 @aspenideas.bsky.social Health Fellow! Looking forward to learning from today’s big thinkers in health – and bringing ideas from @yalesph.bsky.social to the conversations. #AspenIdeasHealth #AspenIdeasHealth2026 💡🏔️

When your lab neighbors/friends bring viral treats!!! 💃🏾

Fellow ASCB-ers, one more week to vote. Thank you to everyone for your support thus far!

My son is having ongoing issues after a TBI, and none of the specialists the ER asked us to see right away can get him in before 2 months from now, even with an urgent referral. This is crazy 🤬

How can a single cell learn without a brain? We explore this in my paper with @wallaceucsf.bsky.social! We discovered that single cells may learn using molecules similar to those that animal brains use to learn, like CaMKII. Cells can also propagate memory states to their progeny!

Between floods/losing home, cancer, surgeries, and health issues with my kids (currently in the ER), this year has been exhausting. And that’s not even considering all the heartbreaking things happening in the world right now. Thankful for my amazing team and friends this year! 🙏🏾

Cool patient art at the specialty clinics today 😍

Celebrating several recent wins in the Starbird lab! We have a lot of work to do over the the next few months to get some stories out, but the lab has been putting in the work 🎉

To any that knew Ellen in the #DevBio community- you know she was so thoughtful and always willing to help. She cared about all of us and dedicated herself to improving the future of science and our community. She will be sorely missed. Sending my condolences to all that loved her.💔

@hhmi-science.bsky.social's #FreemanHrabowski Scholars Program offers early career faculty up to $10M over 10 yrs, plus salary & benefits Stable, sustained support can transform your career: Senior Postdoc? This year's competition has a program for you too. Applications open 11/3! bit.ly/4vhC0LA

2/ Awardee @drohsopretty.bsky.social hypothesizes that aging is caused by a breakdown in metabolic communication 💬 between cells. Her work introduces a new conceptual layer to aging biology, and may be key to restoring metabolic aging. 🥳 Congrats Dr. McReynolds! 🙏 #HFScout @harmitmalik.bsky.social

Congrats to all of the new awardees, but especially @drohsopretty.bsky.social !!!! Welcome to an amazing community!!!

I'm excited to tell you about the most recent preprint in my lab, demonstrating that a conserved spindle matrix protein, NPP-21/TPR, is required for the stronger checkpoint in germline cells during embryogenesis in C. elegans

As a recipient of federal grants from #NIH (for now! 😭) that funds research in my lab, I'd like to sincerely thank American taxpayers on #TaxDay for investing in scientific research that lays the foundation for medical and technological innovation in this country and keeps us ALL safe and healthy

Watching a property show as my brain break tonight. Who is out here making 4 bedroom houses with only one bathroom?! 😬

Really excited and proud to share this episode of “Standard Deviation”, part of the “Out of Patients” podcast where I talk about my work with LSEF and what motivated me to do advocacy work. It’s a packed 15-minute episode, so please listen when you have time! www.mzpod.com/standard-dev...

I had the most amazing visit to Fred Hutch. Not only did I give two talks and engage with a vibrant community of faculty and trainees, but when I experienced a family emergency mid-way, I was treated with the most inspiring dose of kindness. Thank you @cterminiphd.bsky.social for hosting me!

Couldn't think of a better candidate to be on the ASCB Council!

Someone’s alarm has been going off for almost 30 minutes. How is their phone even set up that way, and how are they?!

1st stop in Seattle! Such a beautiful campus at UW! (If you zoom, you can see Mt. Ranier in the background) 🤩

Just landed! I see a familiar view! 😁

Posting about ASCB Council (please vote!) and my phone caught on and reminded me of the great time that was had at the ASCB annual meeting last year 🫶🏾

Just in case you missed it or it ended up in your Spam folder, the ballot should have come from the following email address: [email protected]. Please find the email and vote for your favorite candidates for several leadership roles!
