In science, unless you're a lucky superstar, you won't get a lot of +ve feedback. Or to be precise the ratio of -ve feedback to +ve feedback is like 10 to 1. This is especially true as you advance in your career. Bottom line: you have to truly believe in yourself & in what you do

Honored to have won 1st place at #RCAW24 Capturing the Art of Science competition for “Blooming Oogenesis”! This image is a tile scan of tumorous Drosophila ovaries- can’t wait to share more about this project! Elizabeth Ables

Awesome to see an Ables Lab alum on this list! Congrats, Allison!

So proud of Lauren Jung !! Started in my UG class during COVID and found her niche in research in my lab. Now she's got First Place in the ECU LaserTAG Image Competition AND Best Graduate Podium Presentation at ECURCAW. I'm sure this is just the start of great things for her!

If you're thinking about going on the faculty job market, take a look at this advice doc I just shared with helpimascientist.com: I collected my thoughts about the whole dang thing, from finding positions to negotiating a contract, & I hope y'all find it helpful!

Thrilled for the opportunity to share our research and hear all about the great science happening at U Iowa Biology! Thanks Dr. Tina Tootle Danielle🌻 Dr. Nicole Green, PhD for the invite and a great visit!!

Super excited to share our science in the Midwest!

Great advice!!

What an exciting Friday at the 2024 Triangle Fly Meeting! This was my first podium presentation at a conference and was humbly awarded first place! Thank you so much to the organizers UNC-Chapel Hill for hosting! It was a day full of great science and community. 🪰 Elizabeth Ables

Thrilled to be able to mentor one of this year's cohort! Super excited for Allison to get to meet and learn from some of the best folks in the field. It's going to be a fun summer!!! Harriot College ECU_Biology

In defense of basic science - my new video about how we balance basic vs. translational science: youtu.be/yl6ETxRfQn8?si…. . And why we should encourage a culture of wandering to solve problems:. A team effort between University of Oxford and OxfordSparks.

On July 18th, 2024 from 1-2pm, IOS is holding a Virtual Office Hour about the Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) for students and mentors!  Let your students know! Anyone can attend. Colleagues from GRFP will be in attendance. iosblog.nsfbio.com/2024/07/03/don…

Science is a career full of rejection & self doubt. Most scientists don't go around collecting awards & kudos but sit there wondering if anyone reads our papers. Telling a scientist whose work you like that you value & appreciate what they do is a small & very meaningful gesture.
