this nightmare has to end: let me go to sleep and never wake up.

writing again a new CIHR application to get it rejected as it has been for every single application since 2008. It's a corrupted lottery I am never allowed to win or even get a chance (only one app discussed 10yrs ago).

And now for the most important tweet of all. This work was carried out almost entirely by Lydia J. Borjon, PhD an amazingly talented PhD scientist. Lydia is going on the job market searching for faculty positions and her email is lhoffst at iu dot edu. You should definitely hire her!

Yet another beautiful innovative research from an outstanding group and fantastic PI Bravo Dan!

New paper from my lab in European Journal of Neuroscience shows PI4Ks have differential roles in synaptic function/development (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ej…) Majority of work done by my former MSc student Claire Richter Gorey. Funded by NSERC / CRSNG. Collaboration with Julie Brill. @ScienceUWindsor

WTF will not subscribe to be able to tweet on iphone/ipad. desktop gone and i'm gone.

I'd once again invite my science and non-science friends over here to give the other place a try--I am now interacting with 7K real folks there, scientists, wildflower enthusiasts, birders, naturalists, and science communicators and my feed is full of those things and not Musk
