Congratulations to Ngan F Huang, PhD on being the first recipient of the ISACB Elena Aikawa Trailblazer Award! You both are inspiring and impactful, and generously give your time helping to mentor and sponsor others. Congratulations to you both! 👏🏻❤️

Great talks by @KatKerr6 and Ande Marini, Ph.D. from Pitt Bioengineering at ISACB ‘s 19th biennial meeting in Vienna! #womeninstem

🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations to Doctor Ande Marini! Ande Marini, Ph.D. Vorp Lab Hello Kitty-Roc was a perfect reference 👍. I know you're bound for success and I feel privileged to have had you with the group since 2019.

A huge congrats to DR. Ande Marini Ande Marini, Ph.D. on a successful and wonderful PhD thesis defense. It has been a pleasure to watch her grow. Ande’s leadership and collaborative nature will be sorely missed in the Vorp Lab and I know she will do well as a post-doc at Stanford University.

“You can’t have science without scientists” 🎯

PATRIOTS! The Senate’s NIH vote on 7/31 could lock in a disastrous multi-year funding policy, slashing $7B from research. It KILLS jobs in PA, AL, WV, WASTES your tax dollars, hikes healthcare costs, & lets China win in science. #SaveNIH #AmericaFirst

The Senate is deliberating over the NIH budget this week. But, it's not just the total $$ that's an issue..but that NIH leadership wants to front load multi-year grants and not distribute them over 4/5 years...this will lead to very few NEW grants awarded = shutting down labs.
