‘We must take the initiative’. Thanks PrakashLab for an inspiring talk and for showing us how science can make real improvement in the world.

Thanks for everyone who attended our #PostdocSurvey results event this morning! Great to get feedback on our annual Postdoc survey, discuss priorities and solicit new ideas for our #advocacy, and meet new Postdocs 😍🤎🍩.. also did you check out our #Fall #Donut theme?

Joining the fun at my first #fluorescenceFriday. Image is of different cell types in the skin.

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Looking at tumor vasculature this week.

The 2021 #HarvardPostdocSurvey found that historically underrepresented groups are still very underrepresented among Harvard University postdocs. Notably, only 1% identified as Black, 2.9% as Hispanic, 2% as MENA, <1% as nonwhite Hispanic. 0 identified as Native American/Indigenous.

#HarvardPostdocSurvey | We found that the median self-reported annual salary for full-time FAS/SEAS postdocs Harvard University is $56,417. However, this varies substantially by department

Thanks to Neurobiology Imaging Facility at Harvard Medical for selecting my entry as Most Beautiful. Tissue clearing is not only visually stunning but also opens up exciting opportunities to understand the spatial organization of biological processes!

Thank you Kyle Loh and Lay Teng Ang for producing a protocol for human artery and vein endothelial cell differentiation in 3-4 days! It’s a game changer! And using to study bsl4 viruses with @JosephPrescott19 ⁦Lay Teng Ang⁩ ⁦Brian Raftrey⁩ cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
