I had no paid family leave, and twice went back to teaching a week after a c-section. I donโ€™t think this was ideal for my students.

Biotech Start-Ups Feel the Pain of Federal Funding Cuts Government grants are critical to the research ecosystem, and patients will suffer.

The proposed deep cuts to the NIH budget will hit biotechs-in fact, the upheaval already is affecting some. In addition to hobbling academia, where innovation starts, it'll shrink the gov seed $ that tiny firms, esp those outside biotech hubs, rely on. My latest @opinion.bloomberg.com (๐ŸŽ link):

Did you procrastinate (or forget) to submit a poster for the NOS?

You can still submit for a few more days (your poster will not be included in the program book however). We will release the program book online on Monday, June 9th.
