Irma Sánchez PhD replies : I was born & raised in Dallas, Tx. When I applied to college, a counselor offered to
mail in one college application for me - under the pretext that she could get me a fee waiver . She told me later she decided not to mail it. There is nothing to understand - its Texas.

Irma Sanchez PhD says Not me ! a NYer since 2002.

so what says Irma Sanchez PhD?

It is true that as the lab approaches its 30th anniversary (this Sept),
I am no longer 2 or 3 years older or the same age as my postdocs.
That being said, most of my postdocs are several years older than I was when my lab opened. I am fortunate that everyone on my team is on the same page as me.

Irma Sanchez PhD replies : I guess we need to just keep on ticking like the Energizer bunny. In the past week, anything we try to do seems to oscillate back and forth. The bank even forgot to send a new debit card on time. It does seem like the world needs to take a Valium.

Which fiscal year 2025 or 2026?

Who knows ? The world is crazy right now.

Irma Sánchez PhD: I would say "not valued." Actually, senior people have fewer options (stiffer paylines, no career awards, institutional grant expectations) and are held to a higher standard than junior people. Covid affected everyone not just junior people. And "this" affects us too.

Irma Sánchez PhD: Look at what the Dem nominee for NYC wants to do. This is just LUNACY.

Irma Sanchez PhD comments : Note the emphasis " NYC Dem primary voters ".......... didnt about 70% of registered Democrats NOT vote in the Dem mayoral primary ?

Irma Sánchez PhD : To be honest, I don't know who they polled.
I am a NYC Jew, and I live with another one, and we know lots of others. None of them support Mamdani's candidacy. Most of us didnt bother to vote in the Democratic primary......

Irma Sánchez PhD: What percent of the total NYC voters does that add up to ?

Irma Sánchez PhD : Unbelievable statement ! Not all Israelis are Jews. If the money paying for this is private and doesnt come from the American taxpayer - why NOT ? Personally,
I have no problems with this. What about other POC ? What about left handers ? We are ten percent of the population.

Would be nice, but who has the money these days to go to an international meeting ? Not my lab.

Irma Sánchez PhD : No one is perfect - I exist because FDR
paid my grandfather to dig ditches. He got paid and his family were able to buy food to survive.

Irma Sánchez PhD : This is terrible news, as this shift will probably create more red states and red cities.
I for one, have lost faith in my party. My mother raised me to be a Democrat - FDRs party is DEAD.

Irma Sánchez PhD : It will be catastrophic for EVERYONE. I do not understand why some "animals are more equal than others."
There seems to be no regard for established, productive, experienced investigators whose only crime is running a lab for more than 20 years. Seniority is no longer valued.

Irma Sánchez PhD comments and posts : And one NYC mayoral candidate thinks that the NYPD should be defunded... A NYPD officer was shot dead,a Muslim, an immigrant from Bangladesh, a father of 2 children and one on the way. May the memory of Officer Islam be a blessing.

We are not sure what this means either. However, big cities like NYC "house" homeless and mentally ill people on the sidewalks. Some use the sidewalk as a toilet or a place to have sex or shoot up drugs. These people need to be taken care of and not ignored.

Irma Sánchez PhD : Maybe I am dense, but what is the point of this "study"?
