🎉Brady Lab is 10! A decade of discovery & growth. This milestone belongs to the incredible trainees, collaborators, colleagues, & steadfast friends & family who’ve fueled our journey every step. On to the next chapter @pennmedicine.bsky.social @penncbio.bsky.social @rtaatpennmed.bsky.social 💙

As Faculty Director of @rtaatpennmed.bsky.social, I’m proud to affirm our values that shape our education, training & outreach commitments. Juneteenth reminds us that progress is ongoing—and our work must be rooted in respect, access, & opportunity for all. #Juneteenth

My buddy hard at work on his experiments! There’s nothing quite as pure as the excitement he feels learning through play.

Check out the first preprint from @drariav.bsky.social lab!

Hey y'all! My department is conducting a search for an assistant or associate professor in bacteriology. It's pretty broadly defined. If you know anyone who's looking for a great department that does awesome science - please send them our way! You can DM me with any questions you have 😀

Proud to see ASBMB joining other scientific societies in support of the MOSAIC programs!

Diversity is our greatest asset, even if the government disagrees… They not like us! POC in STEM are here to stay.

They tried to rig the game but you can’t fake influence!

Happy Black History Month!

Thank you for submitting your Letter of Intent (LOI) to CZI. We appreciate your interest in our work. CZI has decided not to continue with the second round of its Science Diversity Leadership Awards. We are committed to supporting groundbreaking research that advances the frontiers of scientific knowledge in pursuit of our mission to cure, prevent, or manage all diseases by the end of the century. We will provide information on future funding opportunities. We look forward to staying in touch. Bil Clemons, Program Officer, CZI

Pretty sad. Just got the email that CZI is canceling the second round of Diversity Leadership Awards. Private industry will definitely not fill the hole that NIH and NSF are leaving. 😢💔

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated.

Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!
