The study section that I have reviewed for since 2012, and was a permanent member of for multiple terms, just finished our last review meeting. It was housed under NINDS, and is moving to CSR. Fingers crossed that the amazing staff who have made the magic happen for all these years move with it.

I never thought of participating in study section as an act of resistance, until now. Proud to do my part to help further science. @altnih4science.bsky.social

Mark your calendars for our CENS mixer at #ENAR2025 in New Orleans! It’ll be a great place to meet fellow early-career folks and enjoy some bingo and snacks. 📋🍿

Today we learned that a pause in State Department funding may mean our Fulbright Scholars will not be receiving their full stipends.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Missouri punches above its weight in having outstanding scholars researching and producing life saving cures. I encourage all in our federal delegation work to ensure Missouri orgs can keep employing those who do vital work to save lives in our country and around the world.

Since RFK Jr just got confirmed today, I am taking this chance to share this wonderful @sciam.bsky.social piece on The Staggering Success of Vaccines www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-...

I read this first as: a moronic vaccine and thought… yes, please can we vaccinate against morons. It’s been a LONG week.

Midwest winter: it gets up to 30° and everyone is smiling and talking about the heatwave!
