We are hiring a technician and/or postdoc! If you're interested studying how viral infection during pregnancy affects placental function and fetal development, please reach out! Will be at IFPA '23 and would love to talk then. Feel free to DM!

As a non-native English speaker, the hardest part is to convey my ideas in a concrete and concise manner! But I’m fortunate to have a supportive lab & supervisor to guide me through the process 🙂

How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences.

BREAKING: The Minnesota Senate has passed the PRO Act, which would guarantee a right to abortion into state law pending Gov. Walz's expected signature.
Even if a future court reverses guarantees abortion access, services would be protected.

SE Asians are underrepresented in STEM. The label 'Asian' boxes them out more. @UCSF disaggregates data to better reflect URM groups, but it needs to be more common. One challenge with being from an under-acknowledged URM group? Many don’t even know… npr.org/2021/12/12/105493351…

JUST IN: The Trump administration is rescinding its directive issued last week that would have barred international college students from the U.S. if their school opted for an online-only model in the fall semester.
