#Nicholaslab student left her poster for @UCIrvine #urop by the door last night and couldn't find it today for her presentation. The lab manager came through and found it in the dumpster!! Crisis averted!

Saw this in the fridge and was Hella confused until I remembered it's the name of my undergrad. 😆

Up one min and down the next. Reworking funding plans after losing support for a student. I'm so tired 😫 Of all the things why would they target the youngest and must vulnerable

I ❤️ my students. I've had the best time teaching cell & molec bio and advanced immuno. My students are smart, hard working engaged and really a joy to teach this year. This cohort is gonna be hard to beat.

I've found myself making lots of sweets for the #Nicholaslab lab lately. Yesterday we had rice crispy treats. Just because. The world is crazy but my team is awesome

Staying committed to celebrating the wins. Extremely proud of my students for submitting fellowships today. Their hardwork despite a demoralizing atmosphere didn't go unnoticed.

Today I received the best course evaluations ever since I started teaching. Not because they were all positive but because they were all so thoughtful. I have clear actionable feasible and logical items to improve student learning next year and know exactly what to do ;) Thanks

A sneak peak into my state of mind the last couple weeks. I lost my office keys and work badge for 4 days...wait for it.... On my desk, in lab, where I worked everyday

I cried in front of 4 different faculty members yesterday for various reasons. Happy to be at an institution where I wasn't judged for it. #mood

New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024. That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved. Show me a better investment than that. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

Huge congrats to Rayyan Gorashi on her first author Science Advances @science.org paper! She discovered the Y-linked UTY gene modulates male-specific valve myofibroblast phenotypes - both X and Y chromosomes modulate cell phenotypes! 🤯 Link: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @jacobsschool.bsky.social

One of the most powerful moments of the day came from Emily Whitehead who told the story of how she was the first pediatric patient to receive CAR T-cell therapy for her leukemia at age 5: “I stand up for science because science saved my life. And that’s a fact.” @standupforscience.bsky.social

Anyone @ucirvine.bsky.social have a really tall ladder that the #Nicholaslab can use??? We're not trying to call facilities. Lol. Once we get a ladder you'll see what it is for. :)

I have been talking to the media, Time, Fortune, NBC, etc., to explain how the onslaught on science and NIH will impact the health of all Americans. Everyone knows someone who has cancer, heart disease, or depression. Spread the word about how cutting science impacts all. time.com/7216299/nih-...

As a leader in my lab & various initiatives, I’ve made my stance clear....my commitment to DEI is unwavering. I won’t back down or shy away, even as others do. I’ll continue to uphold and advocate for these values.

Call for abstracts! Research is under attack but we can push back by moving technology forward. #flowcytometry allows detection of blood cancers and advancement in technology is leading to new discoveries that are the basis cancer cures. Socalflow.org

Today they went nuclear. Imagine all firefighters were told "You all still have salaries, but as of today the government will no longer pay for building maintenance, firetruck maintenance and repair, hydrant upkeep, or admin assistants." That's what they're doing to US universities.

This is a full on assault on education. The US is the world leader in innovation research, technology only because we as a society support it. Without support for world leading research, we will brain drain and the best and brightest will go where research thrives www.statnews.com/2025/02/07/n...
