Being a first-gen scientist can be interesting sometimes. Been scraping by financially my whole life. Now as an (almost) asst. prof who is suddenly spending a ton of money on professional and personal purchases is just wild. My instinct to ration is really kicking in hard.

This is exactly what I needed! My manuscript revisions are going to be🤌

It's horrible having to constantly defend your purchases to admin in academia. "Why do you need to purchase 8 rolls of aluminum foil?" BECAUSE WE NEED TO AUTOCLAVE AND KEEP OUR LAB WARE STERILE. Like why must you fight us on everything?

6 main figs and 5 supplementary figs .

The semester starts tomorrow. Yes, encourage students to come to office hours, but also remember to give them examples of why students have gone:

Students at Stanford have built alphaXiv, an open discussion forum for arXiv papers. Think of it as 𝕏 for research.

My response to reviewers: “I have concepts of a plan”

And looking forward to our 2nd Basic Science Symposium Celebrating Hispanic/LatinX Heritage Month coming up Oct 25th. Amazing keynote speakers will be with us, @joann_trejo & Eduardo Marban, MD, PhD, in addition to talks by Faculty and Trainees. UC Davis, UC Davis Research, UC Davis Health

Our third DEI symposium at UC Davis, I am so thankful for our work as the Graduate Group Integrative Pathobiology DEI committee for another successful year!!!🎉

A timeless model for writing a research summary.

Applications for PhD & MS are now open for the Integrative Pathobiology program at UC Davis! Submit your applications! #SACNAS #NDiSTEM #ABRCMS

If you work with RNA, you know the chore: wiping everything with a $200-$300/L RNase decontaminant… which is basically sodium hydroxide, bleach, and surfactant. Fair price, right? Introducing “Sergi’s RNase Polite Excuser” (pronounce it with a British accent!)

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth! ✨ They’ll never be able to take away the impact & contributions of Black scientists, no matter how hard they try. So each week this month, I’ll be highlighting a few #BlackInNeuro scientists for you to learn about, celebrate their work, & follow 👩🏾‍🔬👨🏽‍🔬

Fixed it for you: Two essential elements of successful NIH grant applications are 1)Study sections being able to meet and review grants and 2)Councils being able to meet and approve grants...

Doing my part to make sure scientists are seen and heard right now. See y’all on the 5:00 news tonight 😳

We NEED indirect costs from NIH grants. These essential funds provide support essential for completing research studies that will lead to life saving discoveries. Thank you to KING5 for visiting our lab to cover this story: king5.com/article/tech/s…

Honoured to present “Emerging ADCs: The Next Generation” at #WCLC2025 We must move beyond ADCs as “smart chemo” & see them as modular platforms—optimising targets, payloads, linkers & antibodies to better tackle tumour biology. ONCOassist® | The go-to oncology app Oncology News Today
