I've spent a lot of time lately analyzing data, reading, writing, presenting, mentoring, and sitting on zoom meetings. I was low-key excited to do a PCR today. Funny how the average day has shifted since transitioning from postdoc to PI.

Happy holidays from the Queen lab

Find me a definition of privilege that privileged people are comfortable with. We’re supposed to do DEI work but cannot name any of the players in an inequitable system lest it hurt their feelings. Anyway, Imma go back to my science. #YesThisIsASubtweet

Today I thought about quitting science (as one does). By some magic, I still have my MSTP admissions essays on an old flash drive. According to my much younger self: “I have found the thing that I am absolutely meant to do.” She was so sure. Guess I shouldn’t quit. 🙄

It was fun to pen this news&views on this exciting new work published by CJohnstonLab and Susan Bullman and their team. #Fusobacterium #ColonCancer #CancerMicrobiome

As a naive grad student, I didn't realize when I chose my PhD mentor that this would be a lifelong relationship and that she would continue to mentor me and advocate for me for the rest of my career. Glad I chose well. Thanks @microProfMom for a much needed pep talk today! 😊

Nearly halfway through 2024 and I'm taking stock: 5 action-packed weeks of clinical service ✔️ 3 pathway program selection meetings ✔️ 3 grant applications submitted and 1 awarded ✔️ 1 new employee hired ✔️. Next up: finalizing a couple manuscripts to submit for peer review!
