Not long after I started my lab, a prominent scientist told me it was “impossible” to be a successful PI and a mother Don’t ever let the naysayers tell you it can’t be done - of course it can! #HappyMothersDay this weekend to all the amazing scientist mamas raising their wonderful kids 🥰

“The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas — hardly a partisan institution — finds that nondefense government R&D yields long-run economic returns of 150% to 300% …“Our findings therefore point to a misallocation of public capital, and substantial underinvestment in nondefense R&D.”

I’m just going to keep telling myself, “I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.” And keep doing as much science as I can for as long as I can. 🙏🙏🙏

Live footage of the average NIH-funding academic as we cycle between maybe no longer having a job and court rulings allow NIH to resume evaluating and funding grants. I do not recommend this life style, it sucks Most of us just want to do important science unpeturbed.

What a great resource! My lab has struggled in the past with some of the exact variables interrogated here. A must read for anyone diving into human HSCs! Methodological Considerations on How to Identify Human Hematopoietic Stem Cells - Experimental Hematology www.exphem.org/article/S030...

Methodological Considerations on How to Identify Human Hematopoietic Stem Cells

The hematopoietic system is highly regenerative and is organized hierarchically with hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) sitting at the apex. Despite being some of the most widely studied stem cells, ques...

Starting a new lab?! The most important factors for choosing the university/institute/company are: the colleagues, students & postdocs, the leadership, equipment, the lab space and start-up funds; IN THAT ORDER.

More than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm RFK Jr. The letter marks the first time in recent memory that Nobel laureates have banded together against a Cabinet choice. But Kennedy is a threat they could not ignore, one said. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/h...
