Be the scientist who provides thoughtful and critical feedback to strengthen an idea without changing the idea completely. We need creative minds, not clones of thought. Mentors who foster creativity can have an enormous impact on the scientific enterprise: self-awareness is key ♥️ 🔑

✅ I had my first screening mammogram performed today: with a familial history of breast cancer spanning generations and most of my maternal aunts, it was time to check in. Happy to report that it was easy to schedule after getting a referral from my PCP, painless, and fast.

With everything being such a mess lately, I’m thankful to have a team that is passionate about science, yet sensitive to the strains I am feeling. Thank you, Termini lab, for giving me space and being patient. I’m thankful I still get to make discoveries with you everyday ♥️🩸

My auntie fought breast cancer hard, but recently passed away. She would always ask, “Have you found a cure yet?” to which I would say, “We’re working on it!”. And we are still working on it. Learn about her journey or donate to her cancer research fund: engage.fredhutch.org/goto/Yolanda...

I’m learning to immense value of self-preservation for persisting in this job. If I acted on or even just reacted to every single thing I felt outrage about, I’d have an empty tank. This is a really hard part of the job, but essential.

It’s just one of those days where I feel like a total loser and like I don’t belong here (in academia, in science, in a leadership position). I keep showing up, though, because I know I actually do deserve to be here. It’s just hard… 😩 🥸

The wave of energy I get from talking to the scientists in our lab about their projects and discoveries is unparalleled. It truly keeps me going! ♥️♥️♥️

If you are an @isehsociety.bsky.social member, don't forget to vote for leadership before March 18. There are so many dedicated, hard working people to choose from and if you're not a member consider joining just for this-great time to benefit from the international community!

My study section (DDK-D) met last week! Score release is being held up… but it still feels good to know the science was at least seen.

Said farewell to Jen Adair who is heading to UMass Chan to lead their Gene Therapy Center. Couldn’t be more grateful to have gotten to learn from her scientifically & professionally. I’ll keep holding down the fort here, but it’s gonna be harder now ♥️ 🧬 Congrats, Jen: www.umassmed.edu/gtc/

My new routine is that every morning, I spend about 30 minutes ruminating in despair with Bart. I’m so profoundly sad about what science has become. Sending strength to everyone who is trying to carry on ♥️ 🐈‍⬛ #NewPI
