To our colleagues at Brown, my heart is broken. I send my deepest sympathy.

Submitted my grant today for the December 8th deadline. Not Dec 10 - I don't have cs anymore since my ss was dissolved. Dec 8 would have been November 19th which would have been November 5th since I had study section on November 12th to 13th which is actually on January 12th to 13th. Any questions?

feeling very inspired serving on study section right now thank you to the pos/sros/etc that are working the long hours

As someone who has spent the last 25 years studying sex differences in brain function and behavior and the last 10 advocating (loudly) for SABV and working to help my colleagues implement the policy into their work, this is utterly heartbreaking.

Come through!! @pennmedicine.bsky.social

Upon learning that yesterday would be my last day as a program officer at the National Science Foundation, I shared this parting message with my colleagues. The next few months will be frenetic and stressful for them. Here are some things that you can do to help them with the mission ahead. (1)

So very, incredibly proud to have been a McKnight Scholar and so grateful to be connected to a Foundation that values inclusion of people who are so precious to me. (This email made me cry.)

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

I have a confession . . . I was an “overhead cost”. I was a beaker washer, agar plate pourer, research secretary. I was paid by “overhead cost” fees. Loved it. Those “overhead cost” jobs allowed this rural kid to become a physician. Please tag how #OverheadCostJob impact u.

Morning musings for NIH-grant-applying noobs, unrelated to impending doom. I often hear from ESI that they 'don't have enough data' to submit. Just as often, these PIs have more data than they realized. 1/3

The kid who shot the united healthcare ceo was a penn grad. ba/ma in engineering. Valedictorian of his fancy prep school in Maryland. Reports that he was very smart and well to do. And then I remembered that case from years ago in California where the defendant claimed his only crime was “affluenza”
