I had no paid family leave, and twice went back to teaching a week after a c-section. I don’t think this was ideal for my students.
My colleague @sarahhird.bsky.social has been fighting for family care leave for over a year now. So impressed with her leadership!

Opinion: This is UConn: Zero paid family leave for professors
UConn currently lets every pregnant/expecting individual reinvent the wheel, cobbling together a leave plan with whatever resources and departmental grace they can muster.

I am so scared about doing this but I am trying to be brave for my kids because it's only gonna get harder to speak up."

The proposed deep cuts to the NIH budget will hit biotechs-in fact, the upheaval already is affecting some. In addition to hobbling academia, where innovation starts, it'll shrink the gov seed $ that tiny firms, esp those outside biotech hubs, rely on. My latest @opinion.bloomberg.com (🎁 link):
Biotech Start-Ups Feel the Pain of Federal Funding Cuts
Government grants are critical to the research ecosystem, and patients will suffer.
