Professor, personal account. Genetics, genomics, brain development, other stuff. Typo-prone. If you’re nice I’ll post dog photos.
If you click the Starter Packs tab below you’ll find two I made for genetics and genomics accounts.

The Dean of Science, the Nobel laureate, was taking down part numbers for me, the newbie Assistant Professor in waiting.

I asked George if I could buy a new laptop from my startup funds before I moved, so that I could start writing my first grant.
“Yes.”
“Great, who do I talk to?”
“You talk to me.”
“No, I mean who do I give the ordering details to?”
“You give them to me.”
This was a lesson in academic leadership

I’m biased because George helped recruit me to UCSD, where he was then Dean for Scientific Affairs in the School of Medicine—but George was a hugely influential and inspiring figure. He always wanted to talk science. And if you ever showed the same image twice,

I got this useful bon mot from a middle school teacher recently.
In response to, “I DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, “okay what steps have you taken to understand?”
And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.
