Today, I would like to honor the memory of Roger Y. Tsien, who died on August 24, 2016. His legacy lives with all who use his technologies, including calcium sensors, fluorescent proteins, the acetoxymethyl (AM) ester, & many more!

Go right now, don't wait, and read Harvard's response to the government's demands. Everyone needs to fight. Remember Columbia caving got them absolutely nothing back. You can see the gov demands from a link inside Harvard's response.

This is a great thread with super practical advice: pre-tenure PIs need to emphasize any and all wins and more senior PIs need to push back on unrealistic expectations about productivity. Despite all that is happening, we can still be a community that takes care of each other
