Welcome to the HHMI family 💙💙💙

Meet Kyndall Nicholas, an HHMI Gilliam Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania (@upenn.edu). She studies how our everyday diet can build resilience against traumatic brain injury, asking what we can eat daily to help protect our brains.

Juneteenth is a story of freedom hard-won & resilience hard-kept—honoring Black history & the ongoing fight for justice. At Penn Medicine, Research Trainee Affairs advances discovery rooted in respect, access & opportunity—values that shape our comprehensive education, training & outreach mission.

Truly grateful and honored to have had the opportunity to share my work at the Bioorganic GRC and represent the Burslem lab 💙

Excited to see this out in @science.org today!! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I am sending so much love to my colleagues at NIH today. They are incredible people and scientists and don’t serve any of this. 💔

@vangeliqueallen.bsky.social and I are @hhmi.org Gilliam Fellows who started @science-scope.bsky.social !

This Saturday in Carrboro, NC, we will be launching a new SciComm Series called “From Lab to Lager”, where labs partner with local breweries to share their research on beer labels!

New paper online today! Check out @cewc9.bsky.socials review on how acetylation mediated protein degradation impacts cancer! Thanks for the invite to contribute to the 10th anniversary special issue of Trends in Cancer! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Another assault on US competitiveness at a time when biomedicine is roaring with innovation, an own-goal in a high-stakes international tournament. Of course the real losers are American people needing medicines and cures.

I'm sorry but how, just how, is one suppose to focus on why there are no colonies on their agar plate like a normal PhD student when the US scientific community is getting smacked around left, right, and center. Now, more than ever, take care of your mental health and well being 🩵
