I’m so very excited that the Cullati lab will be opening September 2023 @WWUChem! I’m like the dog that caught the car - I get to teach undergrad biochem, mentor students, and keep learning about kinase signaling in beautiful Bellingham WA ❤️🤩🎉

Do you have an @NIH grant app waiting to be reviewed in Oct? A long govt shutdown could cancel study sections and require you to resubmit in Jan. with review in June. Call your Representative and tell them what a shutdown would mean to your lab. ow.ly/IaxT50PP9pw

Many people take "non-traditional" career paths in academia. @Brixius_Simone, @mm5200, @MoeNeuro and I did! We wrote for @PLOSBiology about how non-linear careers are increasingly common, but funding agencies and search committees penalize these paths. journals.plos.org/plosbiolog…
