I have been on too many searches for junior faculty where mid-career (safe) applicants get selected over postdocs looking for a first job. It is unfair to compare scientists at different career stages. Give the young and hungry scientists a shot. After all, we were once them.

Hi I'm Ondine. I want to control blood vessel growth to help make new organs or block vessel overgrowth in disease #ActualLivingScientist
A colleague teaching biochemistry students asked me how to define in vitro vs. in vivo experiments. I said, "If it poops, it's in vivo".
The lab diagnosed me with new virus, JS40, which coincided with a milestone birthday. They even solved structure by papier-mâché macroscopy!
