New lab pub in Biomedical Optics Express. Using optical spectroscopy to determine response to immune checkpoint inhibitors in mice, specifically changes in tumor oxygenation. Congrats to Joel Rodriguez Troncoso, Paola Monterroso Diaz, and David Lee! doi.org/10.1364/BOE.42….

Throughout the pandemic, I’ve had an amazing support network of 12 female faculty. This summer, 4 of them (across different ranks, departments, and institutions) announced they are leaving academia. That’s 30%. It’s an exodus. This is what institutional betrayal does.

Our lab's first federal grant support comes from NSF! Super proud of my stunning undergrads who contributed to this enormous effort. Wrapping up year 1 with success and confidence! ✌️🎉

This article resonates strongly with me as a parent of two children under 5. The past two years have been extremely challenging, and I hope 2022 will bring a solution for young kids and their parents. (A thread) time.com/6130454/covid-…

From a low of 70,000 to over 700,000 cases a day in less than 2 months. A >10 fold increase in daily new cases in the US. #Omicron Our World in Data

As we enter this first of two days of AMI in Fayetteville, let's remember that many teachers are parents of school age kids. Strong positive thoughts to all of you teaching our kids and managing your kids virtual day at the same time.

P&T EQUITY would be reviewing faculty P&T packets in the context of a multi-year global pandemic instead of clock extensions that affect lifetime income, disproportionally affecting women & marginalized groups & unnecessarily drags on the stress

Very proud of Mahsa Haseli for successfully completing her candidacy exam! Huge thanks to committee members @Dr_Servoss Audie Thompson Raj R. Rao, Ph.D (he/his/him) Dr. Rebekah Margaret Samsonraj

On this International Day of #Women & Girls in #Science, I am proud of our super-star women faculty & staff in #STEM.

Mentorship is most optimal when it's bidirectional. After selecting a mentor, how can a mentee maximize the relationship? Some reflections based on personal experiences with outstanding mentors & mentees 👇 [1/7]

Our school board claims we need to move to an endemic mindset. I didn’t realize we could just move from pandemic to endemic using our minds. Why didn’t we do this in 2020?

This is how we welcomed 70 incoming Biomedical engineering undergraduate students in the UArk BME U of A Engineering University of Arkansas #uarkbmeg on Decision Day!!

Let's be real folks. It's not PIs keeping postdocs from being paid $100k+. That salary plus fringe is HALF of a modular R01. Plus PI salary support and supplies then an entire R01 becomes the personal grant of one PD. Not sustainable. Funding levels must rise for this to happen.

If you don’t know the difference between mentoring and sponsoring, this is a good place to start. hbr.org/2021/06/dont-j…
