I'm stoked to finally share the last paper from my PhD work in the @NAP_Lab @CornellBME , now on @biorxivpreprint ! 🤩 Proteins Derived From MRL/MpJ Tendon Provisional Extracellular Matrix and Secretome Promote Pro-Regenerative Tenocyte Behavior 🐁

Proteins Derived From MRL/MpJ Tendon Provisional Extracellular Matrix and Secretome Promote...

Tendinopathies are prevalent musculoskeletal conditions that have no effective therapies to attenuate scar formation. In contrast to other adult mammals, the tendons of Murphy Roths Large (MRL/MpJ)...

I’m humbled and beyond ecstatic to receive the Cornell DPE Ephrahim Garcia Graduate Excellence in Mentoring Award! I cannot thank my mentees enough for nominating me. Working with y’all has been and continues to be among the most defining experiences of my PhD. Cheers 🥳

Someone actually sent me an email reply saying "I didn't expect you to be Asian!" What do I do with this? Do I reply to this? Are you disappointed? Some of y'all need to get better at filtering your thoughts and not saying them out loud 😂

Racist academics crying about being bullied/asking people to “be nice” after finally getting called on their bullshit despite always telling BIPOC to “develop a thick skin” to survive in academia.

A good chunk of my time as a postdoc has been unnecessarily stressing about my financials & timeline which is then amplified every time I see my monthly paycheck 🥹 Am I ready scientifically? No. Am I ready to make more money to raise 👶? Yes.

Not Discussed. Ouch. Two words I have dreaded seeing for the past six months. While I am of course incredibly disappointed, I have done some much-needed reflection and wanted to share some takeaways from my unsuccessful fellowship application experience: (1/) #AcademicChatter

I disagree. This mentality perpetuates structural barriers in academia that disadvantage minoritized and marginalized individuals, first-generation and/or low-income students, and those who attend(ed) undergraduate institutions with limited/no funded research opportunities.

the most successful grad students have tons of experience *before* starting their PhDs. Essentially, they don't need to be trained, and they flourish in a system that explicitly avoids directly training them.

It's really hard to give yourself more grace during *life* when many of these academic applications and mechanisms impose a strict & unforgiving post-PhD eligibility/time window 😬

Please don't justify your career/professional interests by looking down upon or attacking those of others. It's toxic and has no place in academia. Support and validate your peers, friends, and mentees as they navigate finding the right fit. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Watched my mom weigh our brisket because she is convinced that the restaurant skimped out. It was actually 10% extra in weight. Then she insisted the scale must be broken. I poured water using a beaker. Scale is fine. Now I am being scolded 😭😂 What an evening, y’all.

Imagine several years of a Ph.D. becoming an expert on your research area, mastering technically challenging techniques, and troubleshooting complex experiments with ease... only to be defeated in the end by your dissertation formatting 🤣

No, it literally is the end for his academic career. He’s unfit to teach/mentor/interact with students. Allowing him to stay at your institution and department will speak volumes to the blatant disregard for those that he has already significantly harmed (and will continue to).
