Grant unfortunately not discussed. This was at least comic relief when reading the summary statement. I guess connecting flights aren't a thing for the best scientists. Should have pushed for a GNV to SFO flight in my offer letter.
This has been a great week in the lab! We received the NOA for the lab's first R01 on top of the first paper and all of our undergrads presenting. Couldn't have done this without all the great colleagues

We are hiring! If you are a post-doc or research technician interested in doing electrophysiology, behavior, fiber photometry, and/or cutting edge molecular techniques to understand the motor and non-motor symptoms of movement disorders, DM me. Link to apply coming soon
Our labs first senior author paper is out!
@Nicholinergic
and Michael Millett did a wonderful job reviewing and synthesizing the mechanisms by which M4 can be used for therapeutic benefit across movement disorders. Check it out!
7 (7!) undergrads in the lab presented their ongoing research in our lab at the Center for undergraduate research research day event. Very proud of these excellent young scientists. Plus we got a new reptilian lab member
So proud of

My kids daycare closes at 530. My wife is a clinical provider. I'm very upfront with my hard leave time at 430 on days when my wife works. Most people are extremely respectful and understanding of this.
Today, I was that guy who accidentally replied all to a program wide email sent by our educational coordinator to send them our summer grades. Even better my reply was the below meme. Should I send out another reply email explaining the meme to my senior colleagues?
This is terrible advice. Taking time to recharge, have uninterrupted family time, or just do nothing is important. Why would a foundation even post this?
@ericlwan
The Sid Martin biotech business incubator has been ranked number one multiple times. UF innovate does a great job! Maybe the lack of flight options prevents people from leaving so more work gets done?
Leaving the concrete jungle for the🌞 state!
