What can you, your department, or your institution do? Here are suggestions for various levels of graduate program operations. Remember... *do not depend on grad student labor (esp. from underrepresented backgrounds) to fix problems w/ your program or admissions process* 9/

Especially in light of the Supreme Court decision banning race-based admissions, think how you can improve accessibility & equity of grad school admissions at your institution for talented early scientists from all historically marginalized groups. doi.org/10.1016/j.cell… 10/

An incredible article, full of wisdom and important advice from the team Cientifico Latino, Inc. about the barriers that minority students face in grad school admissions! 🔥🔥🔥 so inspiring to see this published Cell 😮♥️

Interested in the role of extracellular vesicles in the nervous system? This meeting is for you!

My grandmother, who raised me, grew up in a village in Trinidad. She had to stop going to school at 11 years old to raise her younger siblings. She only has an elementary level education. So it means more than words for her to see her granddaughter as a college professor ❤️🥹

We have a complete #Ychromosome 🎉 It was the last human chromosome left unsequenced, but now the #T2Tconsortium led by UCSC & National Human Genome Research Institute has finished it, revealing 41 additional genes! This will aid research on fertility and, believe it or not, bacteria. news.ucsc.edu/2023/08/t2t-y-…

Happy to share our new RNA liquid biopsy paper published today in Nature Biomedical Engineering Nature Biomedical Engineering! nature.com/articles/s4155… This study was led by my former PhD student & NIH F99/K00 Fellow Roman E. Reggiardo, now a postdoc with Howard Chang Stanford Medicine HHMI. A huge

Excited to share our paper out online today! We labeled and tracked heritable non-genetic info transmitted from parents to their children. We found that starvation in ancestors leads to transgenerational phenotypes in naïve well-fed descendants, ... 1/9 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
