Many Black scientists fall through the cracks during their postdoc; I almost did myself. Last month, 70+ @natblackpostdoc members met for the 1st time to strengthen our community.🙏🏾RT to help us reach new members/sponsors so we can continue to grow no matter the political climate
Five @MeharrySOGS PhDs together at the @natblackpostdoc Leadership Symposium! Ben and I are giving talks! #Meharrymade #NBPAinDallas
COMMUNITY🤎! Thank you to Dr. @FrankieDHeyward for the initiative to bring us together and connect us to share our work and life! As to those who questioned @SadeWill93 “What is the point?” — This is the point! #NBPAinDallas2024 #BlackExcellence
The scene during the @natblackpostdoc NBPA Leadership Symposium welcoming reception 🥂 After years of virtual meetings, this was our first time coming together. I've never met so many Black PhDs at one time in-person 🤩🥹 #NBPAinDallas2024 #BlackExcellence #BlackinSTEM
Don't miss this seminal review by the one and only @NabaLabUIC!!! A must read! #ECM @MetastasisRS
The idea phase the writing phase
The phrase ‘metastasis accounts for 90% of cancer deaths’ is one of the most widely used in cancer research, yet it is overly simplistic & imprecise. Here we dig deeper into the events leading to cancer mortality nature.com/articles/s4156… 1/2
Congratulations to my friend Dr. Ireti for defending her PhD yesterday! So so proud of you, and I’m excited for your next steps! @Lab_STEMinista #MeharryMade
Congratulations to @Lab_STEMinista. Thanks to @MeharrySOGS for all the support. KLF6 activates Sp1-mediated prolidase transcription during TGF-β1 signaling - Journal of Biological Chemistry jbc.org/article/S0021-…

I feel sick 🤮 #academia #PhD #science #xp @OpenAcademics @AcademicChatter (You can follow us for more fun memes like this)
At the end of my career, I will not care at all what my h-index is or how many papers I published. However, I will care tremendously whether I was a good mentor and had a positive impact on the lives of others. I want to live those values every day from now until then.
