How to write a grant? 1. Write it for the reviewer, not you, the applicant. 2. Communicate in stories. 3. Make your story cohesive—leave no puzzling gaps. 4. Make your story resonate to keep the reviewer reading. 5. Accept chance and noise in peer-review. pnas.org/doi/epub/10.10…

Most people misunderstand the Central Dogma. In school, perhaps you were taught it as “DNA → RNA → protein.” But that’s a massive oversimplification. Francis Crick’s real "Central Dogma" was about what *cannot* happen in a cell. Let’s break it down. 🧵

The irony of using NIH indirects to attack “woke” universities is that biomedical scientists are the least ideologically committed group on campus. They are as a collective consummate wind followers with no moral core who will abandon anything and anyone when placed under stress.

Not sure if I should take leave to do a postdoc for a couple of years. Going straight into a PI role without that experience can really limit your research vision 🫩
