Blunt advice: If your figures and legends are too small to easily read in your grant proposal, they have a negative impact. If the reviewer can't get the information from the figure easily, there is functionally no information with added irritation.

My undergrad, Jeyashri Rameshbabu, passed her neuroscience honors defense this week - her committee said it was by far one of the best UG defenses they have ever seen. And she got there with character and kindness. So proud of her!

I applaud this initiative to try to break the fascination with journal name prestige. As long as I remember to do it, I put only the PMID for my papers in the slides for my talks. If @ardemp.bsky.social can do it, so can you!

I love my job @hhmi.bsky.social This week we hosted 164 scientists and heard 30 amazing 15-minute talks, dove into 70 posters, ate many fancy meals, and saw zero journal names.

Can we design allosteric modulators that change a GPCR's preferred G protein? Yes!💥 BAMs at the GPCR-transducer interface change G protein subtype selectivity in predictable ways, enabling rational drug design. The lab's 1st preprint! Check it out! 🧪💊🧠🟦https://doi.org/10.1101/2024.11.20.624209 🧵👇

“There are all these people, it's loud, there's music, there's talking, there's laughing. The kind of people that apply to this lab like collaborating. They like everybody being willing to help each other. I put a premium on that.” — Bonnie Bassler about her lab at Princeton #science
