‼️ ATTENTION FIRST GEN PHD APPLICANTS ‼️ If a school doesn’t have instructions for how to apply for a fee waiver, ASK 👏🏻 THEM 👏🏻 ANYWAY 👏🏻 Just find a contact in the grad school administration (or your dept) and email them! In case this helps, here’s my template:

Serious question! 👇👇 Perpetuating the systemic injustices with an article that recommends clinging to the rapidly eroding status quo effectively sets back the gender parity movement by decades. I am disappointed by the poor judgment of Nature Communications in publishing this.

This will go down in history as one of science and medical research's greatest achievements. Perhaps the most impressive. I put together a preliminary timeline of some key milestones to show how several years of work were compressed into months.

Saturday evening thought You know the two awesome vaccines that will tame the pandemic? Pfizer's vaccine developed by two Turkish immigrants Moderna's vaccine developed by a black woman virologist (KizzyPhD) NIH Another reason for diversity in STEM It makes science better

Hi folks, here is an amazing caard that can help educate you on the issue of Asian-American racism. There's tons of resources on how to be an effective ally, mental health resources, places to donate, and more. Do what's in your power to help. anti-asianviolenceresources.carrd.co

Grateful to all of the Asian American scholars, writers, and activists, esp. Asian American women, who have been writing and speaking out in the media this week. Here's a thread of some of the best articles I've seen; feel free to add others I've missed.

Today marks a year since I moved to California for grad school. While I refuse to accept that I’m now a second year, let’s take a moment to appreciate everyone who started grad school and/or moved to a new place during a pandemic 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Long overdue update on setting up a sustainable lab. First, THANK YOU to everyone who replied with suggestions! ❤️ all the enthusiasm for reducing lab waste! Thread on what I found, loosely organized from easy (low cost, low effort) to challenging to implement. 🧵(1/n)

New results out: arxiv.org/abs/2202.04202 Great collaboration with the teams at Mila - Institut québécois d'IA and Scripps Research ! In a nutshell: repeated experiments guided by sequential model optimisation quickly hone in on highly synergistic drug combinations!

Very excited to highlight this paper from our graduate student, Yuxiang Zhang, Scripps Research. Congrats to Yuxiang et al and huge thanks to our collaborators. Abridged highlights below. 1/8 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Histone acetyltransferase inhibitors have finally made their way into the clinic. How will resistance emerge? We predict that a primary mechanism will be through dysregulated CoA metabolism. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/15)

Excited to share my first author paper at Lairson Lab Scripps Research in @ELSchemistry, showing new FiVe1 derivatives to treat mesenchymal cancers. Huge thanks to Luke Lairson, Michael Bollong, Eileen Tang, and all co-authors. #medicinalchemistry doi.org/10.1016/j.ejme…

What are some good tips / resources on saving energy in wet labs? I'll start: setting your -80C freezers to -70C can save up to 40% in energy (and makes no difference for many samples) ⚡️❄️

Love the illustration of a childhood story for this cover! *taking notes* 📝
