This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

It’s been a long month. Grateful for February. 💌

AIMBE's Annual Event on March 29-31, 2025 is especially important. With a new Congress and presidential administration, it's a timely opportunity to engage in science policy post-election. Fellows, register now and we will arrange your congressional visits for you: annualevent.aimbe.org #AIMBE2025

My favorite part of Thanksgiving: repurposing leftover turkey into #turkeysoup 🍲

This year, we added soy marinated raw crab and abalone to the menu - a must for Korean food. 🦃🦀🦪 #thanksgiving2024

Dear NIH, No, I do not want to read the summary statement of my rejected grant on Thanksgiving. Sincerely, boundaries.

The secret to my pumpkin pie I’ve been making for a decade: mochi flour! Always a crowd favorite. 🥧 Happy thanksgiving - hope it’s a good one. 🦃

New tat to start my 40’s: my initials in my handwriting.

Hi 🦋! I’m Eunji Chung, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at USC. My lab develops nanotherapeutics and gene therapy for kidney and cardiovascular diseases. I’m a mom, cofounder, and a believer of hard work. I also love everything Disney and a sense of adventure.

Two fatal crashes this week - one @usc campus, another in front of our kids’ school. It’s 7:30am, it’s quiet, and needed to walk through the lab, my forever happy place. Increasing my gratefulness and will try to decrease my perception of stress today.

I looked up the @wikipedia.bsky.social for @bsky.app and this post is officially a “skeet.”

Unwinding from the day with capybara pics, the largest rodents in the world and cutest. Will need to visit this cafe next time 🩷 @cafe_capyba

Fall and winter waves.

Dr. Gang Chen @mit and Congresswoman Judy Chu at the AAASE inaugural summit.

Pretty remarkable start of the AAASE inaugural summit. Nobel laureate, Prof @Stanford, and former Sec of Energy under the Obama administration Steven Chu goes through the history of Asian American contributions while describing his own family history of scholars and scientists.
