I really hate it when a vendor or sales rep asks to know my budget before giving us a quote.
My budget is as low as possible - haven’t you read anything about the NIH lately?

Now that my lab has moved to Emory I want you to join us in Atlanta. We have an NIH-funded postdoc position available to study Planar Cell Polarity (PCP) signaling using vestibular hair cells of the mouse as a model.
Please repost and/or DM for details

We have to do a better job writing the Project Narrative and Project Summary sections of our grants.
Now more than ever these need to be clear and compelling - and written for the general public.

Our contribution to #FluorescenceFriday is a progress report. The scope made it to Emory and was reassembled with only one minor catastrophe. We’re calling it a win.
