    Massive 10+ year effort in lab spearheaded by @leonardoaparrar and Kayal (secret account 🤔). Unreal cover by @EmmaVIDALL that says it all.

    So...Jury duty selection last week: - Judge: "What do you do?" - Me: "Science." - J: "What kind of Science?" - Me: "Why thanks for asking...let's start with slow axonal transport, a mysterious way soluble proteins are conveyed down the axon...." - Judge: "Thank you you can go."

    Biology is messy. Your advisor/mentor knows that. Show them everything, they know that's the way this gig works. And if they want perfect results every time, consider leaving.

    An email is not a doorbell. I'll send it whenever I like, you read it whenever you like.

    Greybeard #NIH grant reviewer here. Most Specific Aims pages only make sense after reading the rest of the grant. The Aims page needs to stand alone and make sense. All info that reader needs to understand that page needs to be ON THAT PAGE. Yes, It's not easy.

    Surprised how so many don't ask these 3 questions BEFORE starting experiment: 1) What's the expected result? <helps see if it happens> 2) What are all the possible results? <helps design controls> 3) What will I do with expected/possible results? <helps design future exps>

    "Just walk up and say hello" is advise I see for young scientists at meetings. Let me tell y'all I've been saying hello for >20 years and I've been snubbed almost every time. Happens even now if people don't know me from my name. Sciencing while brown?
