ATTENTION: NSF GRANT RECIPIENTS We received a heads up from a trusted source that you should proactively download/print/screen shot any documentation on research.gov pertaining to your NSF awards, both those that are current and any that have closed in the last 5-6 years. 1/n

The weekly notifications of #NIH funding opportunities is so depressing.

The study section that I have reviewed for since 2012, and was a permanent member of for multiple terms, just finished our last review meeting. It was housed under NINDS, and is moving to CSR. Fingers crossed that the amazing staff who have made the magic happen for all these years move with it.

I never thought of participating in study section as an act of resistance, until now. Proud to do my part to help further science. @altnih4science.bsky.social

Really, I was going to go change out of my work clothes.

Reading “The Chronicle of Higher Ed” and “Inside Higher Ed” each morning. The academic version of doomscrolling.

Saw this little bird sitting on the sidewalk. Snapped the photo just before it flew away (and scared the crap out of me). Think it’s a Wilson’s snipe.

Wish I was still in the Philly area to see this!

Mark your calendars for our CENS mixer at #ENAR2025 in New Orleans! It’ll be a great place to meet fellow early-career folks and enjoy some bingo and snacks. 📋🍿

Sometimes I have fun at work! And now you can have a laugh… at my expense.

Today is International Women’s Day. You know what I’d like for International Women’s Day? Not to have to have an International Women’s Day. And if you don’t understand what I mean by that, you’re part of the reason we need an International Women’s Day.

Today we learned that a pause in State Department funding may mean our Fulbright Scholars will not be receiving their full stipends.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Missouri punches above its weight in having outstanding scholars researching and producing life saving cures. I encourage all in our federal delegation work to ensure Missouri orgs can keep employing those who do vital work to save lives in our country and around the world.

Since RFK Jr just got confirmed today, I am taking this chance to share this wonderful @sciam.bsky.social piece on The Staggering Success of Vaccines www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-...

I read this first as: a moronic vaccine and thought… yes, please can we vaccinate against morons. It’s been a LONG week.

Midwest winter: it gets up to 30° and everyone is smiling and talking about the heatwave!

Data alert!

Somehow I’m seeing cats in my feed instead of dogs! Help!

Had a goal of submitting a paper by the end of the year. Just pressed submit! Made it by a day and a half… #PhDLife

This is a disaster. Infectious diseases do not understand state lines, as people in Louisiana do not stay in Louisiana. It has never been more important to invest in public health, especially at the local level. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

So much fun celebrating the holidays and our move to @slu-official.bsky.social North Campus next semester. Saying goodbye to Salus Center with memories, laughs, and gingerbread houses! #PublicHealth

Best birthday present!

I cannot tell a lie. I’m addicted to @hallmark.bsky.social Christmas Movies. I need all the predictability and happy endings right now.

Love my late fall morning walks with Bosco, before the rest of the world is awake. Except for this guy!

This week, I gave a talk in the department where I earned my #PhD and learned that the students are “passing down” my blog post to students who fail their qualifying exam. I was so touched! I was also reminded that it’s been too long since I wrote… statgirlblog.wordpress.com/2016/07/30/p...
