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!

I'm so excited and relieved that our NIH R35 grant has been renewed!! NoA received and grant actually started this July!!
We will continue to advance our research on ubiquitin and translation control for the next 5 years!!
Hoping to see more posts like this from y'all tooππΎππΎ

Make equity essential to expedite change in academia - Nature Microbiology
In response to COVID-19, universities and other education providers pivoted rapidly from in-class learning to digital course instruction. Student tuition was deemed essential, thus swift change ensued...
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.
