I had the honor of speaking with one of SciAm’s #SciAmYoungScientists, Jaye Gardiner @thegardinerlab.bsky.social. I was struck by Jaye’s enthusiasm for research and the genuine care she has for her students. Her love of science goes back to high school chemistry. @sciam.bsky.social

The whole issue is amazing, and the folks I got to meet in Boston were so brilliant and passionate about what they do. Also: we inevitably ended up just trading stories about funding cuts. Everyone is hurting, but it did make me feel a little less alone. www.scientificamerican.com/issue/sa/202...

Representation matters, but representation is not power. If your diversity efforts stop at panels and photos, you are performing diversity, not building it.

And just like that, the first semester of the lab is complete! 🥳 Got to work with these two fabulous undergrads, Kira (left) and Rori (right) and am super pumped to physically do the science they wrote their papers on next semester! Happy holidays to all! - JCG

My tenth ASCB/ Cell Bio meeting; my first meeting as a PI. I love the amazing community I have and am so excited for our new and future labs 🥰 Until next time! #CellBio2025

Article out by @statnews.com profiling the terminated MOSAIC K99 program even though the goals fulfilled what the NIH says are their priorities: www.statnews.com/2025/12/08/t... If you’re at #CellBio2025 coming to the MOSAIC scholar session today at 5:30pm in room 116!

Panel 1 at #CellBio2025 done! (And forgot to mention I was on a panel - whoops) Thanks Mike Boyce and Monica Quiones-Frias for the invite and the 100+ people in attendance asking questions about the transition to independence. Was very fun being on a panel with my friends in academia and industry!

Powerful words from Dr. Bryan Dewsbury (@dewsbury.bsky.social) from the #CellBio2025 Education keynote: “When I stand in front of a classroom, I tell students that I am interested in being more than their destination to a final grade”

First science session of #CellBio2025! 🧫🧪 Co-organized by @iaincheeseman.bsky.social and @abbybuch.bsky.social on the importance of the physiological context on studying cell biology. As a big fan of the ECM, I couldn’t agree more!

Packed room for the opening mentoring keynote by Maggie Werner Washburne talking about the importance of imagination in science and persistence #CellBio2025

What’s up Philly?! It’s been 5 months but I’m back! Ready for @ascbiology.bsky.social #CellBio2025

The Leading Edge Fellows gathered this week to celebrate Zara Weinberg, a beloved member of our community. Our 7th cohort of Leading Edge Fellows (2026) will be named in her honor. The Zara Weinberg Leading Edge Cohort application is now open! Due Feb 2. www.leadingedgesymposium.org/apply/

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.
