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... my 4yr old told me that she is the only smart person in the world. 😆 I asked her what about mommy. She said yeah. I asked her what about daddy. She said no. Lmao 🤣

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...

On this first day of #BlackHistoryMonth I'd like to share how much I admire the work of Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett, who did trailblazing work developing the COVID vaccine that saved millions of lives around the world. She continues to be a role model every day.Gift article www.nytimes.com/2023/02/09/s...

Hi All, you will be seeing me share this GoFundMe across platforms regularly. My friend, fellow scientist and person I love needs support. She's battling cancer but she doesn't have to do it alone. Please donate or share even a little makes a difference. gofund.me/01259717

#BlackHistoryMonth seems ESPECIALLY important now. So, I pledge to teach myself about a Black scientist everyday this month & report back here. Our Black brothers & sisters have done enough of the heavy lifting in the education of white people. I’m going to start with these men. #🧑🏿‍🔬👩🏿‍🔬🧪

In the midst of chaos as a #newPI doing acade research and supporting #DEI I enjoyed my 4yo flying a kite my dad made. Reminds me of my childhood flying newspaper kites that were better than anything store bought

Literally watching everything I care about and love being dismantled by ignorance and racism. I'm doubling down on finding other ways to support students who otherwise would never have the opportunity. If it weren't for these programs I would have never even known what research was.

With science funding in turmoil, If you are an educator like me, one thing we can do is educate our students about the impact of NIH and NSF funding, both on the science we teach and on the economy of our state & nation--this site from FASEB is a great resource 🧪 1/n www.faseb.org/science-poli...

I knew this journey as a #newPI and #momlife would challenging. This morning I felt on top of my responsibilities until my 4 yr old woke up with a fever. My week is flipped upside-down. The struggle is balancing responsibilities while making my baby know she is the priority #tired

I’m fine and my lab is fine, but many in the UCLA community are not, following the recent fires in Los Angeles. If you feel compelled to help, Baby2Baby, Pasadena Humane, and World Central Kitchen are great organizations helping the Los Angeles community and accepting monetary donations.
