Hey scientists -
@UCSF
is hiring - remember you don’t need a CSN paper or a K. We are looking for fresh ideas, curiosity, and desire to work in a public university with an awesome academic research community. Pls RT 👇
The golden
@NobelPrize
handshake 🤝 at lunch today with
@DJuliusSF
Randy Schekman and Richard Axel. And yes this cake was well worth all those calories!
Other than Salk, perhaps the most beautifully designed research institute here
@NCBS_Bangalore
- dedicated to outstanding basic science in India 🇮🇳
Thanks for the opportunity to present our work.
Happy to announce that the Women in Basic Sciences at UCSF advocated, organized, and used data to have our awesome colleague Dr. Carol Gross recognized as the 2019 Faculty Research Lecture Awardee - our highest scientific honor at UCSF.

For those of you

interviewing for faculty positions, please be gracious to faculty who are spending their precious time to host you even if you have no intentions of taking the job. Paths will always cross at some point.
Our neighbours provided the 🌶tie. Admitting that I was sound asleep 💤 when this aired - but headed to So Cal soon to see

Be still my heart:
@hollyingrahamSF
now uses some of her keynote time to discuss issues in STEM for trainees, including underrepresentation of women in STEM and the nuclear receptor field. Powerful statements and some tips:
“I’m not surprised” that women’s immune systems may do things in ways that men could learn from, Pinkerton said. For years, immunologists only studied males”

- for me a recent request for $$$ from

that relies on 1950 demographics. 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Please

ask yourselves why two top CA public institutions can’t diversify leadership in

Thank you for reiterating your policy on

#preprints
- now can we get some meaningful education for panel members as not all of them are tuned into Tweeting.
In 2017, NIH announced (NOT-OD-17-050) that preprints and other interim research products can be cited in NIH grant applications. Common in other scientific fields, but relatively new in biomedical science.
An amazing turnout for 2022

We could use some institutional muscle 💪 from

I keep hearing about PIs that continue to be skeptical. It is our job to convince them otherwise.

Great Basic Science - told my lab that they should all join this scholarly, supportive community of scientists working on so many cool models systems connecting hormones and behaviors. See you in Atlanta in 2020.
We also need to be honest if all that $$$$ revealed nothing (🙈🚫) as we did in our recent preprint:
"..single-cell RNASeq data, unfortunately, provided few hints regarding the identity of ..."
