Tips:
1. Include your handle at beginning and end
2. Make clear what is published/not
3. Have a conclusions slide with key message
4. Highlight new preprint or publication if relevant

For those that haven't spoken with grad students openly lately: we are not okay
We are watching our futures be gutted (in both industry in academia), while becoming 'overeducated' for other jobs too.
Seeing post docs being suddenly dropped, we know that money isn't coming back soon enough...
Who is headed to ASV next week ?

Three GAT2 traps line in a row on a lab bench. One has a rain cover attached. In the bag round is a lab space with different lab supplies on shelves.
The gangs all here! 12 new Biogent GAT2 and 4 BG-Pro traps ready to go. Hoping to find some Aedes triseriatus, japonicus, and cantador this summer.

This is precisely where the priorities of this administration lie.
academic folks: Harvard international students may need to begin immediately transferring out in order to avoid having to leave the country
If it sounds insane, that's because it is
what will your institutions do to help?
The reason you're having trouble concentrating if you are here in the US is because we're basically being chased around by serial killers and being asked to disregard the fact.

We are investigating the role that reassortment (the exchange of genetic segments between viruses) plays in the Orthobunyaviral life cycle.

A student smiling in a white blouse with frilled sleeves and a match neck scarf tied with tails to the front standing next to their research poster. The title reads "Prevelance of Jamestown Canyon Virus Infections and White-tailed deer feeding in Aedes cantator mosquitoes in Bergen County, NJ" The posters headers are pink and white and the text is black.
A student smiling in a black top with a white sweater with red and black stripes down the lapels. She is standing next to a purple poster titled "In-vitro characterization of La Crosse Virus Phenotypes. The posters background is purple and the text is black.
The lab's FIRST EVER research protesters were presented last week at CURE symposium! Somika Kc and Aria Grizzle both seniors at Towson took an independent research course with me this spring and presented their results. Congratulations on a job well-done!

This should not be a partisan issue.
