I'm excited to have this review article out in @cp-trendsbiochem.bsky.social ! In a collaboration with the Darnell lab, we discuss the complexity of the ribosome ubiquitin code and what the field has done to crack this intricate signaling code!

2025 Black History Month: Black Plant Scientists Spotlight | Plantae An initiative originated by Kevin Cox Jr., PhD, Plantae carries on Kevin’s tremendous effort of bringing visibility to several exceptional scientists and their work across the science community.

It's Black History Month and I'm excited to bring another edition of "28 Days, 28 Black Botanists" - now posted as a blog on Plantae! Thanks to @aspbofficial.bsky.social for continuing to support this fun tradition of mine! πŸ’ͺπŸΎπŸ‘¨πŸΎβ€πŸ”¬πŸŒ»πŸŒ±

Watching (needed) energy, collaboration & collective effort about NIH indirect costs by institutions/societies & the difference in energy & collective efforts around rollback of DEI took me back to impetus to write "Make equity essential to expedite change in academia"

Of course there have been responses at the individual level. As academic institutions, professionals societies, private foundations, the response has been largely of silence and of overcompliance, which included the removal of many programs that were not even federally funded... this is what I mean

When they came for Black & Brown folks, or #DEI efforts, I heard very little commotion

Only now with these new directives has the scientific community become concerned with the future of research & academic institutions

It will not stop here. If you are not rich & conservative, you are at risk!

Diversity in STEM: What It Is and Why It Matters Innovations resulting from science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields have positively touched nearly every aspect of human life.

As this is a delicate political moment, in which words are being weaponized, can we get some of the language right?

DIVERSE is a feature of group, not a person! A person is what they are. There is no such thing as a diverse hire/employee. Thank you.

Extremely important thread. NIH (and what will likely be NSF next) are and have been important agencies for *all* of us, whether you know/understand that yet or not.

Ok, here we are πŸ”΅πŸ¦‹!

We are a lab at #DukeUniversity studying protein dynamics, gene expression, cellular response to stress, and their relationship to health and disease!

Our team is also very focused on promoting equity and diversity in higher education!
