@Jie_Immunology It's so sad. NIAID was specifically targeted for extra cuts in the version of the federal budget put forward by the House (specifically by the few far right Republicans in control there). Support for NIH funding has been bipartisan for many years until now.

In a faculty focus group on STEM infrastructure planning for the College, my biggest contribution was that we need 1 add'l admin for each dept/institute before we need fancy new spaces. World class research & teaching = world class staff support. #StaffAreThePathToGreatness

Pompano Lab is approved for research ramp-up! Hooray! First order of business is to move our lab back to the Chemistry Building. Restarting and moving at the time, for extra fun.

So many students (and faculty) out sick. Some with "colds," many of whom later may have long-term symptoms, and a few visiting the ER. Total silence from @UVA leadership. No tracking, no updates, no acknowledgement.

I love this title: "Immunology Is Where Intuition Goes to Die" I always tell new students that our immunology experiments are the ones with the surprising endings. The immune system just never does what you expect. Great primer from @edyong209s :

So far I have found two tutorial papers that I should point my students to, although they are not enough on their own. 1. A brief guide to designing effective figures for the scientific paper. Rolandi et al, 2011

Today the Pompano lab is celebrating a notice of award for a focused R03 proposal. In collaboration with the Landers lab @ChemistryUva , we are building a microchip to help you efficiently add fluorophores to proteins without trial and error. Many thanks @NIBIBgov for funding!

Boosting. Please RT and share! Looking forward to finding our next colleague. A PhD background in anything from immunology to bioanalytical chemistry to immunoengineering would be a good fit for this position. It's a very cool project, in my admittedly biased opinion. 😊

We are recruiting! 🎉 Exciting project on spatially resolved protein detection in live tissue, esp. lymph node. Join as a Research Scientist (staff position) or Postdoc, depending on your career goals. We are inclusive, collaborative, & interdisciplinary.

Can we start a movement where faculty push their department to remove the "Rate the candidate on these 10 - 20 traits" part of PhD rec letter submissions? So time consuming, yet so meaningless. There is no way those ratings are comparable across letter writers, nor unbiased.

Dear attendees, a reminder to test yourselves daily for COVID for the next few days, as after any gathering, esp. with any symptoms. Also, if people choose to let me or GRC know if they test positive, we will keep count informally for anonymized feedback to GRC on meeting layout.

If the university could invest in more admin support for faculty, we would achieve far more in research and education. These would likely pay for themselves in overhead and positive press. Ex: NIH training grants, large center grants, outreach activities.

#Shutdown is terrible for scientific progress. Review and funding delays = potential loss of jobs, wasted experiments due to funding gaps. CALL YOUR HOUSE REP'S OFFICE ASAP AND LET THEM KNOW. My house rep says "only 1 constituent expressed concern". Pretty sure that was me.

The last time the government shut down, I had a grant in review. Study Section was canceled and the entire grant had to be resubmitted, delaying the whole grant and endangering people’s employment and scientific progress.

Now out in ACS Applied Biomat @ACS_AMI ! Hannah and Sophie showed that despite severe toxicity of #3Dprinting resins to white blood cells, parylene-C coating offered complete protection. Plus, it prevented material erosion. We use this for every chip now.

Having read many #GradAdmissions essays for @ChemistryUVA in the past three days, many with a classic structure, I wondered what would happen next year if/when students turn to #ChatGPT for help. I set up an account and I was pleasantly surprised! 🧵
