When I told you there was a DEI problem, I didn't mean that I volunteered to fix it. Stop asking individuals from marginalized backgrounds to clean up the messes you made. I'm not having it today.

Stories from Hmong in STEMM is a vulnerable piece that draws from our personal & scientific journeys as Hmong individuals. Special thanks to Zer Vue for leading this initiative. It was a pleasure working with everyone and putting this inspiring article together!

Proud to announce that our paper on "Regulation of metabolic health by dietary histidine in mice" is now officially in print - and selected as the "Editor's Choice" in this month's issue of Journal of Physiology! Led by former grad student Dr. Victoria Flores with help from great collabs!

Many thanks to Hmong scientists Zer Vue, Moua Yang, Shany Yang, Pajau Vangay, PhD, Tou Yia Vue, Kieng Vang-Dings, Ph.D., and Kao Lee Yang for sharing their experiences as they pursued an advanced education and a career in the sciences. Please check out their inspiring stories! cell.com/trends/genetic…

My younger self would be so proud of the person I am today. I’ve always struggled juggling my identities. Over the years, I’ve learned to accept and embrace them. I’m so proud to be a queer Asian woman & an immigrant (France has my ❤️). Oh, and I’m engaged! Happy Pride Month 🌈

Thank you Endocrine Society for making Pride Month extra special this year. I had a great time presenting our lab’s research yesterday! Very grateful for the exposure and the awards. Photo Credit: Christen Snyder
