Whether you're writing a paper or planning a talk, start by asking the questions: -what does my audience already know? -what do I want them to know? Then think about how to craft a story to lead them on a journey between these two points.

This week on #FoodiePharmacology, I chat with Nadja Cech about exciting research on botanicals! We cover topics ranging from #MassSpectrometry #kratom #womeninscience #gardening and more! This is an episode you don't want to miss!! Listen: foodiepharmacology.libsyn.com/the-chemical-s…

Cech Laboratory will be hiring a postdoctoral research associate to develop new methodologies for mass spectrometry metabolomics of natural products. Come be a part of our productive, creative, inclusive, NIH funded team. spartantalent.uncg.edu/postings/18528

My third first-author paper is officially published! We used both bio-guided fractionation and bioinformatics to get a better picture. Shoutout to amazing scientists @JoelleH9 Nadja Cech Sonja L.

This was my first tweet (yes it wasn't that long ago). Today Mane Adk, now a PhD student UIC Pharmaceutical Sciences, published a paper she wrote characterizing the very plants contained in the bag in this photo. So honored to work with scientists like Manead and @JoelleH9 on projects like this.

Paid summer research fellowship program for Black, Indigenous and Latinx students. Deadline is April 1st. We expect to award 6 Fellows, so apply! This is a fantastic transition to graduate school or a professional career. Details in the link: pharmacognosy.us/asp-summer-res…

I stepped down from NIH study section NANO this week. Between NANO & the 32 other study sections I have served ad hoc, I learned many things about how to construct a good grant. Thus, I give you a song themed thread of potentially helpful grant tips!

My little pingüina Mane Adk came to visit my poster, as well as my favorite post-doc Amrita Salvi ahh!!! Thanks for the support, friends 💕
