These have not solely humanized scientists in my eyes, but reminded me, as I review the interviews, that it was bold to assume humanization was necessary. Every scientist I spoke to, trainee, ecr, middle career, and senior have things they are nervous about things they hope for

Sure is telling to see scientists up in arms about a few week delay in grant reviews but utterly silent about the cancelling of the diversity initiatives they’ve been trumpeting for a decade.

Thanks again for all your support! After taxes this helped cover 1/10th the boiler repair bill, which is a HUGE dent and a step closer to paying it off. Shipping out today. If anyone wants to support, check out my shop! Hand made biomolecules! https://t.co/pQiT5T6lnA

I think many folks should read this. I’ve been told by many chairs deans Professors chairs of X super important thing and everyone is terrified of being creative or different to the degree of recursivism. While I wholly am unsure of how the NIH differs from large sector funding

For years I couldn’t see the board but had no clue I had -5.5 vision, when I finally was assessed my parents struggled to pay for glasses, I still managed somehow but the shame many children endure and continue to endure through adulthood for basic issues like this—this is what
my hot take today is that homework is classist. everybody doesnt have a conducive home environment to study in, some of us had to work after school, everybody didnt have a tutor they could pass stuff off on. homework only exists to prep the worker for a life of unpaid overtime

I don’t understand how every cell culture person understands that cells die if you don’t change the environment to keep them alive, they dutifully tend to the uM, but if they see humans in wildtype human culture they’ll be damned to change a single thing to keep anyone alive let
