I need people to understand how difficult it is to get an NIH grant. You spend months writing a proposal, following strict guidelines that include a detailed multiyear budget, bios of everyone on your team, plans for participant safety & ethical conduct. Then you send it off -1/n

The single greatest misunderstanding about science by the public is that scientists solve problems; in reality, scientists are primarily concerned with creating them.

🎉 We just hit 40 rejections (as a lab) which means time for our second #Rejection party! Scaling it up to a meal out this time 😋. Kudos for all the hard work submitting papers, applying to grants, and failing all the way! Only by trying can you success ✨️✨️ #AcademicChatter

I sometimes say “statistics is violent” because it does this to the world. Reality presents itself to us in the form on the left and we turn it into “data” which is basically the form on the right.

Just finished reading Dr. Mara Buchbinder’s masterful ethnography, Scripting Death: Stories of Assisted Dying in America. I left the bulk of this compelling and insightful must-read adorned in yellow highlight for when I will inevitably refer back. Five stars!
