My most succinct grant advice: Hold the reviewer's hand. My second most succinct grant advice: Write to a non-expert that you expect to be tired, angry, or both.

The immigrant discourse right now 😑. As a “highly skilled” immigrant who is now a citizen. I feel like many Americans are betraying the foundation of their country, which was literally built by successive waves of immigrants from all over the world.

The St. Louis tradition of telling jokes while trick or treating is incredibly charming. I'm not sure which is more touching, the 3-year-olds attempting their first joke or the 13-year-olds suddenly seeming earnest as they take a deep breath and try to get a laugh. It's the best.

Sometimes (always?) things take longer than you expect and that’s often okay. As I age, I see science is as much about the process as the finished product. Largely because there’s never a finished product, just concise and (hopefully) coherent updates along the way! Onwards!.

#newpi folks out there, I always thought this would be the lab’s first paper. This project was started by one of my first undergrads (@alexbuck1ey now a @UCSF PhD student). When Kyle joined the lab I said “we’ll finish this within a year”. Said the same to Chao 2y later 🙃.

Altogether we think this VTA glutamate projection enhances aversive behavior through integration with other LC inputs. I am extremely thankful for early support from @BBRFoundation and recent support from @NIDAnews to carry this work forward!.
