Politeness is not the same as kindness. Being polite is saying what makes people feel good today. Being kind is doing what helps people get better tomorrow. When the norm is politeness, people withhold disagreement and criticism. When the norm is kindness, people speak their minds respectfully.

The kindest people in the room are often the smartest since those who act with cruelty “have failed the first test of an advanced society … and never forced their animal brain to evolve past its first instinct.” ~ @govpritzker.illinois.gov at Northwestern University #kindness #hope #theoffice

NIH Study Sections have been cancelled. These are groups of experts who get paid a pittance, if anything, to review research funding applications from their peers. The result of these reviews is to rank these research grants to decide which proposals get funded.

Excited to share our work on broadly effective phage-antibiotic cocktails. We report 4 cocktails that each work against 96% of 153 antibiotic resistant Pseudomonas isolates. Check it out here: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Congrats to Kevin Kim @KevinMinyo6651
