born too late to get a two Western blot Nature paper, born too early to be a science TikTokker, born just in time to start a postdoc during a global pandemic and look for faculty positions during a historic hiring freeze
Proud to stand with my colleagues at the Minnesota capitol today! #StandUpForScience #FundTheNIH
Had a great time with @theaacr.bsky.social at Early Career Hill Day! It was a fantastic opportunity to make sure our elected officials understand how critical NIH funding is!
I just found out that my first book 📗, LAB GIRL 🌱🌿🌳, was challenged by a parent and subsequently removed from the shelves of the library at Walworth High School in Elkhorn, Wisconsin.

In an unprecedented move, research-grant reviews have been suspended indefinitely at the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research
