We are so excited to see what comes of Satrajit Ghosh + Senseable Intelligence Group research to study the relationship between voice/speech and mental health.

So we're not supposed to describe applicants as "caring" and "compassionate" because those words are too feminized. Frankly, this is what's wrong with academia! Can we celebrate stereotypically female traits instead? I'd rather mentor a compassionate student than a driven jerk.

Many pediatric cancers are fundamentally developmental disorders. With our recent publication we have discovered the origins of medulloblastoma within the developing cerebellum. #teamscience #stjude nature.com/articles/s4158…
