We don’t often put small molecules on the cover of Science Magazine but the paxlovid development story (handled with inspiring acumen by Valda Vinson) is medchem at its sterling best. Congrats and thanks to the whole Pfizer team on their exceptional work! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Dear Google Google Scholar is extremely useful. Please keep up the good work! Sincerely, People who publish stuff Please like & retweet if you agree!

“A day in the library could save you a year in the lab.” Easily the most important lesson my own advisor taught me, that as tempting as experiments may be on any given day, there is no substitute for thought, understanding, and context.

Research proposal Vs. actual PhD

A key to good mentoring is the realization that the people you are mentoring are not you. They likely have different strengths, goals, preferences, and life experiences from yours and what works for you may not work for them.

We do our very best in science to study a real-world phenomena🌎in a laboratory setting.🥼 Sometimes we believe with all our heart that what we are observing in the lab is true, but here is why we should be careful, by analogy to the automotive industry.🚗 A thread ...🧵👇

Beautiful letter by Richard Feynman to Koichi Mano, his grad student: Importance of your research problem is determined solely by you. If you can solve or contribute to solve the problem, then it is important. Even better if you can come up with such a solvable problem yourself.
