From the media, we hear way too often that #GenZ is disengaged/ despondent, but I'd like to share a different view..

This semester, we created a new course on Cancer for BSc students, and they've been among the most curious, enthusiastic students I ever taught - truly inspiring!

Not long after I started my lab, a prominent scientist told me it was “impossible” to be a successful PI and a mother.

Don’t ever let the naysayers tell you it can’t be done- of course it can!

#HappyMothersDay to all the amazing scientist mamas raising their wonderful kids 👩‍👧‍👦♥️

I suspect a lot of scientists were born tonight, as kids from all over the world looked up to the colorful night sky in awe. Thinking about that makes me so happy. We, humanity, needed this. 💜

📣 Early career researchers..

When you go to a discussion on mentoring - what are the topics you are really interested in, what are some of the questions you might ask 🤔

Planning a #mentoring workshop, and would love to hear what #mentees are looking for..

Thanks for sharing!

Congratulations 🎉🥳 to all the amazing recipients of the Weintraub Graduate Student Award including Roeltje Maas, a brilliant PhD student from our lab!!

Could there be anything better than when your students give a spontaneous round of applause at the end of your course 🥹

We see so many negative things on here about academia - it’s important to also share the many good things..
