It brings me so much joy to unveil organizō: an online forum for sharing organizational tools & resources to support scientific operations and mentoring. Seeing @organizolife come to life is beyond anything I could have dreamed. I guess I’m a founder now!.

I think you can be a good person and a good scientist. I will die on this hill.

RT @ADiaz_PhD: The path to excellence is rarely a straight line; it comes with ups and downs, twists and turns. Let’s not fixate on the end….

Wow - such an elegant study answering a longstanding question. Fascinating!!! 🤯🤩.

I submitted a grant today!. ❓ Will it get funded? Probably not. ♥️ Do I love the project I proposed? Absolutely. We will find a way to make these discoveries reality 💪

My heart and brain are so full after a terrific symposium. The Cornell students crushed it - the science was AMAZING to see and truly inspiring. Thank you again for the invite - I had the best time learning and sharing knowledge.

Keynote ready!!

Hello, Ithaca! Excited to share our research on proteoglycans and hematopoiesis at the 24th Annual Biomedical & Biological Sciences Symposium at Cornell tomorrow! 🩸 🔮 🌳

RT @ISEHSociety: This week, we're excited to highlight the #ExpHem Special Issue on erythropoiesis edited by Drs. @emerybresnick Papayannop….

Tips:. 1. Decide first what you are willing to compromise on and stick to it. What is negotiable?. 2. Get feedback from trusted mentors. 3. Sleep on it - don’t rush into major decisions. 4. Give yourself grace - there is often no “right” decision. Reflect on each one to learn.

It’s not enough to be good at the technical parts of your job as a PI… you have to be able to identify solutions to complex problems in and out of the lab. There is never a perfect solution, and you’ll often have to compromise… but there is always a way forward.

I spent a lot of energy being upset that I didn't have the support I needed readily available, instead of just being proactive to find the support. Sure, it took energy, and it's not fair. but at the end of the day, reviewers don't care how you got there. The product speaks.

A big component of being successful is learning how to work with people, navigate personalities, and pick your battles. It's not a skill that can readily be taught, but self-awareness is a big component. The sooner we can teach trainees this, the more successful they will be 🌟.

✅ Grant submitted… it’s the first one Lenny and I did from start to finish together. He’s filling the role of co-PI very well. Thankful for my little dude and also all the amazing blood folks who were willing to help me with my application! You are deeply appreciated 🩸 ♥️

RT @challenlab: Please check out or new paper describing a novel relationship between DNMT3A and telomeres. It truly was a team effort !. E….

Being a PI is the best job in the world. It is also a very hard job, and I’m okay with that!.

High visibility and high expectations mean there’s huge opportunity for failure. Trying take every “failure” as a learning opportunity. It’s hard but this is the reality; if you can’t recognize, address, and move past the missteps, you’ll never grow.

RT @labonnelab: Some journals are claiming that you need to pay big $$ for gold open access to comply with NIH's new public access policy.….

That energy when you have it in your head that a grant is due on 9/9, but you realize that it’s actually due on 8/8… 😳

Today was hard but tomorrow is likely to also be challenging. This job is a marathon, not a race. Important to keep focused, hear the hard feedback, and find the path forward - it takes work. Thankful for my friends and family who help me get through these hard times.
