This morning’s session on “Novel Biomaterial Developments in Non-Viral Drug Delivery Systems” at #SFB2025 was a success 😎. Extremely talented speakers, stimulating talks, and insightful discussions. It was an honor to organize and co-chair this session with Qiaobing Xu.

Accepting a graduate student in lab is a long term financial commitment, which is nearly impossible to make at this point. Also watch out for overall hiring slow-downs at all levels in science: you don't need a freezing hire for this to happen, it will start to take place organically - already has.

The University of Pittsburgh confirmed Friday that there would be no new Ph.D. offers of admission while Pitt works to understand how reduced federal aid could impact the institution.

My statement regarding the decision to drop the second round of the CZI Science Diversity Leadership Award funding opportunity:

I am crushed that the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative has decided not to continue with the second round of the Science Diversity Leadership Awards. My heart breaks for all the scientists that submitted their grant applications with the hope that their research and community building ideas would be funded to help make the science world a more equitable place. I see you. Please take the time to mourn the loss of your time and effort and figure out your next move.

I feel an intense surge of survivors’ guilt. As part of the first (and now last) CZI SDL cohort, I have enjoyed significant personal and professional opportunities that have emerged after receiving the award – opportunities that have now vanished for future science diversity leaders. The award gave me confidence in my research program, but more importantly, was the catalyst I needed to bring my full self to the laboratory. After receiving the CZI award, I finally felt comfortable fully coming out to the scientific community and embracing my identity as a proud queer Latino scientist. The award was extremely unique and enabling, allowing me to build a vibrant laboratory community, support various professional development activities for trainees, and grow my research program focused on understanding sex differences in biology towards our goal of health equity. I am devastated that future scientists with stories like mine will not have the financial support they need to achieve their vision in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.

As a Science Diversity Leader, I remain fiercely committed to my personal and professional mission to promote diversity through impactful science and community building efforts. I will continue using this platform to uplift diverse voices in the scientific community. To those feeling hopeless, please know that our continued commitment and presence in science is a powerful form of social justice. Let us continue using our creative minds and resources to fight inequities in society - …

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Feeling grateful for the opportunity to work alongside such talented scientists and amazing human beings. Currently, women make up 75% of our PIs and 60% of our trainees.

AIMBE's Annual Event on March 29-31, 2025 is especially important. With a new Congress and presidential administration, it's a timely opportunity to engage in science policy post-election.

Fellows, register now and we will arrange your congressional visits for you: annualevent.aimbe.org #AIMBE2025

I curated a list of really smart scientists (and me) of Latin American and/or Hispanic background to follow… Still trying to figure out Bsky, so I apologize if there’s already one going around. Please help spread the word, and let me know if you’d like to be added.

Certainly my lab is not perfectly run, but perhaps my tips for management of an academic lab can help you!

What are your tips?

Of course its music themed because consistency is my first tip!
