#TruthMatters

⭐ Call to make STEM education relevant! ⭐
When we don't make our science relevant, we risk creating a society where facts lose meaning and expertise loses value. Creating learning experiences built around real-world issues, both teaching and learning are more engaging and fun!

No words. Grateful to have connected with you through the grant.

Cryosectioning to dull the pain of having our institutional HHMI grant canceled. Not working. Crushed for my colleagues in #LCC6 who have worked so hard over the last 5 years.

Opportunity! Internship for GetHIRED! Course @socdevbio.bsky.social you’ll get to work ‘behind the scenes’ with me to deliver this amazing course and preview what the academic job market is like and how to prepare your materials. www.sdbonline.org/gethired_int...

I regret I watched it 🤢

Same here!

This year’s lab holiday lab ornament! I started this tradition during the pandemic- giving an ornament to each of my research students. Wish I had started this 20 years ago! #devbio #skates #devbio #PILife
