Hey #SFB2025 Assistant Profs! Join the New Investigators Anonymous workshop today at 1 PM. Connect, commiserate, swap tips, and find collaborators. We’re all figuring this out together. Follow signs near registration!

Showing the munchkins our old stomping grounds before the 5th Annual Afrobiotech meeting starts tomorrow. #WelcomeToDaHouse #SpelHouse

Attended a special screening of #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld thanks to @STEMNOLA! I love my @Marvel movies, but the highlight for me was witnessing the love and respect between Dr. @calvinmackie and @AnthonyMackie. This is the kind of love I wish for my sons. #Family

Congratulations Brian. Well deserved as always!

What in the…. 😑 I need to turn off automatic phone updates.

Indirect costs are not wasteful overhead; they fund essential infrastructure that makes research possible—labs. Cutting these funds jeopardizes infrastructure that has made the US a global leader in scientific innovation. This is not just an academic concern—it is a matter of national security.

Asst Prof Jamie Marie Stewart (jmsphd.com) at UCLA develops biomaterials to control immune responses, advancing treatments for wound healing, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. Her work bridges immunology and bioengineering for better therapies. Who do you want to see next? buff.ly/42A5ubM

#BlackExcellence in BME spotlight: Dr. Haynes (@@drkhaynes.bsky.social ) is engineering proteins to turn genes on or off 🧬, advancing cancer therapy and regenerative medicine. Her work is unlocking new possibilities in bioengineering. Let us know who you want us to highlight next? buff.ly/42A5ubM

Today we’re spotlighting @jerelleaj, a trailblazer in computational chemistry! From Dominica to @EPrinceton, Dr. Joseph is breaking barriers & inspiring the next gen of Caribbean scientists and engineers. 🌍🔬 Let us know who you want to see next buff.ly/4gFt8al

Forgot to share how much fun the family had this weekend celebrating the gumbo of cultures in NOLA at our first parade of the Mardi Gras season (Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus) and the Tet Festival. Surprised I made it through lecture this morning 🫠 #HappyNewYear 🐍

When someone admires you enough to emulate your style or actions, it shows a genuine respect and appreciation for who you are. @BostonU_BME's @DouglasDensmore is no stranger to the true nature of scientific progress. Let us know who you want to see highlighted next buff.ly/4gFt8al

It’s our favorite time of the year to flood your timeline with #BlackExcellence in BME. Kicking off the 2025 showcase is last year’s Alan T. Waterman award winner @MuyinatuBell at Johns Hopkins University (@JHUBME).

Yesterday I visited the amazing faculty and students at Xavier University of Louisiana’s Biology department. I got a chance to talk about my research and the importance of HBCUs. Laying down the foundation for something great to come.

We had our first official lab meeting today! I’m so excited to see my team grow and thrive. Not everyone was photo ready so all you get to see is the Green baby from our Banana Fosters King Cake 🥳

I created a simple flow chart to help my lab trainees choose the most appropriate stats test in Prism (*for single-factor comparisons only). Feel free to share with your group if you think it could be helpful first start.
