Calls for volunteers to serve on a variety of committees for the @ISEHSociety are open now! Check out these opportunities if you're interested in developing leadership skills and your professional network. It takes a village! iseh.org/page/ISEHCommi…
This is an incredible honor owing to the many people who supported my professional development and allowed me to be a part of theirs. @ISEHSociety simplyblood.org/2025/07/2025-i…
Ok, so Republicans just introduced a 900 page bill none of them have read. But my team is going through it line by line and on this 🧵you can see the hidden provisions we found. Will update all day. 1/ NEW Medicaid cuts, so now 17 million - instead of 16M - lose health care.
The new Department of Functional Genetics at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine is looking for scientists at any level. 👇 mpi-muenster.mpg.de/780013/profil
So many of us owe so much to @Krauselab_Yale for giving us the space and opportunity to succeed. It’s such a fruitful ground for both personal and professional growth! #MentorFirst
"Dr. Krause ... create[s] an environment where all trainees feel safe, valued, and respected, better enabling the next generation of hematologists to pursue and be successful in their careers." Congrats @Krauselab_Yale on receiving the ASH Advancing Inclusive Excellence Award!
Proud to be a signatory on a letter in support of the courageous staff at the NIH who penned the Bethesda Declaration to decry the ongoing politicization and damage to the US biomedical research infrastructure which has been the envy of the world. apnews.com/article/nih-le…
ASH Bridge Award direct cost floor was already raised to $500K/yr. Now the number of applications funded is dramatically increasing, with a rapid turn around...and a brand new additional cycle this year. @ASH_hematology
We are going to lose an entire generation of scientists. NSF, one of the largest federal funder of STEM education has seen an 80% reduction in funding, including support for trainees, so far this year. “You can’t have science without scientists”
