It is way past time to pay postdocs as the valued scientists that they are. NIH needs to 1) significantly raise minimum salaries and stipends (predocs too) and 2) let PIs cost-share fellowship from NIH grants. Science needs all, not just those with the financial means!

Calling on all conference organizers and professional scientific societies - please do not organize conferences in states that restrict women’s rights. I will certainly not attend and I urge other scientists to not attend. Yes, I know there are also good people in these states 1/

A little late, but still excited to share our pre-print uncovering a role for WNT5A-RHOA axis in promoting #sclc and also suggesting Wnt/b-catenin pathway isn't for the pathogenesis of all #lungcancer types. Kudos to super-postdoc Kee-Beom Kim! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Just received the summary statement for a ND R01. Reviewer 3...I LUV you! (2,1,1,1,1). So why wasn't this discussed you ask? Well, reviewer 2 hated it (5,3,4,7,2). Now..here's a prime example of a grant needing to be discussed because of discrepant scores...

Jason Shepherd Sorry man, it’s frustrating. It’s a freakin lottery. Gotta love getting three wildly different opinions on a proposal. It’s a miracle we even get funded… sometimes. The system needs a serious overhaul.

Not all KRAS mutant tumors respond to genetic or pharmacologic inhibition of KRAS We Developed a “K20 Model” to Predict KRAS Dependency 🧵 (1/13):

A racist woman in Texas harasses a group of Indian people just for having accents. This behavior is absolutely repulsive.

Normally on a Friday I’d tweet a nice fluorescent image or something. But as an Iranian-Canadian this week really sucks. When will men stop telling women how to live their lives?!
