Bluetorial: My NIH grant got funded; The money is in the bank What happens behind the scenes with NIH fund transfers

A woman studies embryos for decades, struggles for funding and respect. She publishes under her husband’s name, until they divorce. A single mother, she moves across an ocean to continue her studies. It all sounds quite modern, until you learn that she also worried she’d be burned as a witch. 🧵 1/15
