This is why it's not enough for Congress to just appropriate funds to scientific agencies. How the funds are or are not spent and when they are spent needs to be enforced.

The administration is playing games with our taxpayer dollars, when they should be going towards scientific innovation.

Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

Alex's mom on his 38th birthday.

We are 30 today!! 🎂🎈🎉
30 yrs of scientific ups and downs, exciting new findings and totally wrong hypotheses, fundable scores and not, and the privilege of working with all the many people who joined our adventures in the wormverse.
Can’t wait to see everyone again at our lab reunion this summer!

My Matthew Effect reading took me down some odd avenues and now I'm learning that Merton admitted later in life that Zuckerman (who became his wife) should've been a co-author on the original piece because he relied so heavily on her work to conceive of and write the piece

As always, I'm happy to give ppl feedback on "Background & Key Gaps" or "Specific Aims" sections. And I agree completely with the "generating enthusiasm" concepts enumerated in this thread & the earlier quoted thread.

Thanks Mike!

I don't know the best way to balance these things. For those of us who've been at least moderately successful at this game, it's hard to know with very small n's whether we should be changing our strategies. At least more than just on the margins of what has already made us successful.

I've been chewing on this for days. I've gotten some comments where reviewers actually seemed to like my being nuanced and thoughtful. I *want* to be thought of as a careful scientist--that you can trust the shit that comes out of my lab. I also know that grants are aspirational--a call to action.

Please don’t make me regret being earnest on main when I discuss what I need to consider changing for professional reasons.

Often, I already don’t like that I have to do it. 😭

I’ve spent a big portion of my career recognizing that what worked for other people doesn’t always work for me, for personal AND professional reasons. And I have made *some* peace with the reality that I have to be somewhat pragmatic, professionally, to keep doing parts of my job

I get that some are eager to help. I make that mistake too. But I also try to remember that unsolicited advice can also feel and land like unsolicited criticism. so some careful wording, or even some self analysis about what motivates the advice, could go a long way

Directives are not likely to work and get my back up

framings that emphasize what has worked for you without you telling me what to do land much better
