On this day 2 years ago, I was heading out on my first job interview (at my current institution)! I was so freaking nervous. To those setting out on that journey this month, have confidence!
You made it this far.
You are a rockstar.
Now show them how bright you shine!

Ever joined a new lab and felt that not knowing where/what stuff is was holding your research back? Yeah, same.
Kudos to Kage & Taylor from our lab for a beautiful piece in @TrendsBiochem highlighting how lab inventory systems support independence.

How do genes and environment shape psychiatric conditions? 🧬
A new lab at @FralinBiomed is looking into the genetic & environmental factors behind conditions like schizophrenia & autism, using advanced tech to study cellular & molecular neurodevelopment.

You can also connect directly via email. Please do not send me generic emails - what catches my eye is often a spark of honesty - tell me why you are excited about my lab, and what we can do together! #glia #epigenetics

Huda Zoghbi says that mentorship enables her to multiply the impact of her science 100x over. The HHMI Investigator at @bcmhouston hopes this ripple effect is felt in the future of treatment & prevention of diseases like #Rett syndrome and #Alzheimer’s. hhmi.news/3C5xXuQ

UPDATE: U.S. Airlines are now required to refund you for a canceled flight automatically.
Domestic flights delayed by 3 hours or more and international flights delayed by 6 hours or more also qualify for a full refund.

New: Airlines in the US are now *required* to give you a REFUND for a canceled or significantly delayed flight, automatically.
The DOT's "automatic refund provision" went into effect today. Good news for travelers with a month until the holiday rush begins.

I’ve always thought of science and art as the same kind of endeavor, both expanding the boundaries of the human experience.

“The publication process was fast and efficient. But more importantly, we were given the time necessary for the generation of high-quality data during the review process.”
Hear what authors like @heijdenlab are saying about publishing with eLife.

More than just speaker panels: I'm tired of homogeny within leadership positions, grant awardees, new hires, scientists in media... #LatinxAtlas was designed to make identifying deserving candidates outside the majority easier - spread the word to those who need to know! 🧵
Tired of wondering why conference speaker panels are not more diverse, Fred Hutch Faculty member and #latina @CterminiPhD , decided to do something about it. She created the Atlas of Inspiring Hispanic/Latinx #Scientists .
