Does seem like time to try out 🦋. Please add me there if you’re there :) same handle, @joshclchen
Thrilled to announce that I have accepted a TT faculty position at the University of Pittsburgh in @PittNeurosurg, starting 01/2025! We will develop noninvasive molecular tools to control and monitor endogenous processes in intact cells and tissues, focusing on the brain. 1/2
This was the first ever competition for @HHMINEWS #HHMIInvestigators where selection was based not only on Science but also on How Science Is Done 1/

Congrats to Dr. @ZhiyangJin on a phenomenal PhD thesis defense on acoustic biosensors! 🎉 Zhiyang's work broke fundamentally new ground in connecting ultrasound to dynamic cellular signals such as proteases and calcium.
Congrats to the GRFP winners! unfortunately for most, today they received disappointment. I was rejected from GRFP/CSGF/NDSEG likely because my GPA was awful. Here are the scores for my F31, years later. 1 = best (1 to 9). If you’re good, they’ll see it eventually; keep at it.
Congrats to Abdeali Dhuliyawalla for winning the best poster award at the Neuralelectronic GRC 🤩! Making us proud! Collaborative work with smarties @PeterKa80460001, @SameerShethMD, @SunilAShethMD & star alumnus @joshclchen (cropped to keep that sweet chandelier! 🎩)
A huge thank you again from all of us to @Stanford and @UCBerkeley for hosting our Science Leadership Program. Speakers across diverse fields shared their highs, lows, successes, and frustrations, providing insights and expertise that will stay with our 2023 Fellows
Welcome 2023 Fellows to our Northern California Science Leadership Program. Thank you to @Stanford and @UCBerkeley for hosting us. We are looking forward to an incredible week of learning and growing our community.

Out today in @NatureBiotech! PhD students & postdocs: there's a trick – overlooked and underused – for having new ideas in the creative process. Talk science 1 on 1 with a science buddy that you trust and think of it as an improvisation. nature.com/articles/s4158…… @MartinJLercher
[please share/retweet!] Very happy to announce that I will be starting at @RiceEngineering as a @CPRITTexas scholar ! I will be hiring 2-3 PhD students, so please encourage your talented undergraduates interested in materials, biotechnology, and cancer neuroscience to apply!

Leadership, problem-solving, punting, community, communication…and making pasta. Our Science Leadership Program meeting in Oxford is drawing to a close. We’re reflecting on a special week of ideas and inspiration with our 2023 Fellows. Thanks to all who supported us.
