My cup is so full after spending last week at the Keystone Meeting on Hematopoiesis. Time with cutting-edge science, supportive mentors & colleagues, and getting to share this with members of my lab was priceless. Excited to bring new ideas back to the lab - blood rules! โฅ๏ธ๐ฉธ

Excited to visit Penn later this week and share my career journey with graduate students. Penn took a chance on me 15+ years ago, and Iโll always be grateful for how it helped shape such a rewarding path.

NIH shut out hundreds of young scientists from funding to start their own labs
Special Report: The NIH has shut out hundreds of young scientists from funding to start their own labs.
"The only reason I donโt have this funding is because my last name is Rodriguez,โ he said. โIt has nothing to do with the science."

Blocking ferroptosis to expand human HSCs
Nature Cell Biology - Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are used in a variety of cellular therapies, but our ability to support these cells ex vivo remains technically challenging. A new study...
Truly enjoyed writing this piece about recent discoveries by @bloodgenes.bsky.social and colleagues about how we can improve HSC expansion & gene editing by blocking ferroptosis!

This faculty journey would be so much harder without a best friend to go through it with. We share all the drama, all the wins, and all the in between. I hope every PI finds a person who gets them like we get each other - thank for @myron_evansPhD this and every season โฅ๏ธ ๐

I guess I am hitting a nerve, because they just put me on admin leave.
TikTok video by Jenna
Trumpโs HHS put me on โnon-disciplinaryโ admin leave today. This was retaliation for speaking up. Moves like this are designed to silence us. Letโs not let.

If you find yourself in a mismatch, itโs okay for a mentor or a mentee say, โthis is a mismatchโ, or โI canโt give you what you needโ and follow a path to another opportunity. Itโs not a failure, itโs actually a sign of maturity and self-awareness.

That doesnโt mean to discount what lab personnel sayโฆ but you might desire more hands-off mentoring and space for creativity while someone else might need more hands-on training, more frequent check ins, or directives. Everyone is different.

Not every mentor is for every person. I always tell grad students to listen to what folks in the lab say about a mentor, but itโs okay to also see it for yourself in a rotation. Itโs about the match - finding the person who can meet your needs (which are unique!).
