Our toddler has learned how to ask us to leave him alone. So now when he is crawling all over us in bed, with his butt squarely in our face, he says “I need space!!” 🫠
Sooooo... Several people shared this slide with me. NIH is apparently working on a new parent mechanism called an RP1. I have many questions (and only a few answers). (EPMC is the NIH-wide Extramural Program Management Committee co-chaired by Jon Lorsch). 1/4

Pretti died after asking a woman he was with if she was OK. Good died after telling the man who killed her that she wasn’t mad at him.
in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today
I had the opportunity to spend the last week at TIGRR to work with emerging and established rehabilitation researchers on grantwriting skills and proposal development. 10/10 recommend. I’m always amazed at how supportive, kind, and inclusive the rehab community is and I’m proud to be part of it!
