I appreciate the sentiment here, but I'm not sure that the math is mathing. Let suppose (a wild overestimate) NIH paid 100% of the salary for 100,000 postdocs all making 56k. An increase to 70k totals $1.4B. Benefits aside, this overestimate is still only 2‐3% of the NIH budget.

The postdoc experience needs a revamp. Yes, you can get by and endure… but why? Should we not try to make the research enterprise better for all? Ubadah Sabbagh writes a nice piece on how we can fix some of the issues and has worked tirelessly in advocacy nature.com/articles/d4158…

Check out our newest work from the Dr. Rajesh Khanna of the KhannaLabUF! COVID-19-related insensitivity to pain helped us find NRP1 as an exciting new therapeutic target. We are looking forward to further uncovering this pathway and testing NRP1 antagonism in more translational models of chronic pain 😁

Great start to 2024! Excited to announce that Dr. Alison Axtman (UNC-Chapel Hill) and my lab have successfully secured a DOD grant for the development of first-in-class ligands targeting TDP-43. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to advancing research in the field. Our

Delighted to share this Research Spotlight about the first receipts of the HEAL Postdoctoral-to-Independent Career Transition Award in Pain and Substance Use Disorder Research. Thank you @NINDSDiversity and NIH HEAL initiative 👩‍🔬🧪 heal.nih.gov/news/stories/b…

Leaving the concrete jungle for the🌞 state! Delighted to trade 🌇 for palm trees as I take on the role of Director of the Pain & Addiction Therapeutics (PATH) Collaboratory in Florida! 🏝️ So happy that all of my electrophysiology & behavioral co-pilots came with me to FLORIDA!

A huge thank you to the American Neuromuscular Foundation for this funding! I am extremely excited for this project . We at Dr. Rajesh Khanna of the KhannaLabUF are researching a niche of rare neuromuscular disorders with pain phenotypes that have been under explored for too long. Much more to come 🥳!

Check out our new review PAIN Journal where we highlight TLRs as potential pharmacological targets for different nociplastic pain conditions. Thanks to Dr. Rajesh Khanna of the KhannaLabUF for supporting me in writing this story that began during my PhD with VGranados journals.lww.com/pain/abstract/…

The news I’ve waiting to share. So proud of my best friend Ismail Ahmed and all that he is accomplished, and will continue to at Utah. Follow this guy and his work, and you can thank me later.
