The simple joy of people watching in Central Park on a hot summer day.

If you don't like a paper, it is obviously totally fine to point out the issues. But please do NOT make egregious and unpleasant comments about the first author's qualifications. A first author who is usually a trainee. Beyond inappropriate and unprofessional.

Every Monday should start like this. Postdoc gets faculty job offer and ex-postdoc/currently faculty gets massive grant. Too early for tequila shots?

Seeing previous mentees in their fully differentiated state, thriving in their professional and personal lives, makes all the stress and hard work of running a lab so worth it. 30th reunion weekend. Thanks to my current lab for organizing and planning, and to everyone for coming. I am verklempt.

Continuing on that steep downward slope to destroying higher education in the US. This will create immense issues for life sciences PhD students - very very few if any finish in 4 years.

I saw fireflies (plural) in my front yard in my fairly urban neighborhood today and I have no more life goals.

Huh - many of the 'comments' in favor of OMB's thing use the same language. So hoping these will all be lumped together. Here's an excerpt from mine- couldn't help going on a mini-rant.

🎉 New/updated preprint! From 🌟 GS Kirsten Judge + Most neuronal cilia form during development. Can adult neurons rebuild damaged cilia? Are functions restored? Does regrowth use different pathways from ciliogenesis? Answers (in C. elegans): Yes, yes, and partly. 1/6 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Neuron-intrinsic and glial pathways regulate sensory cilia regeneration in adult C. elegansPrimary cilia are microtubule-based organelles that mediate cellular responses to environmental cues. Although cilia disassemble and reassemble upon cell cycle entry and exit, respectively, in dividin...www.biorxiv.org

Lab apparently has a new emoji on lab Slack. "One of the younger people in lab made it". That's me in a lab coat - I put it on one time last year to help with an EMS screen. Wonder what they are using the emoji for on their own channels. Hmmmm......

Something nice to look forward to in these apocalyptic times. T-shirts for our lab's 30th anniversary reunion ordered and on their way! Cannot wait to see so many lab alums coming in from all over the world (despite reliable intel that apparently I am in for some ribbing).

Sadly, I am too ancient for this but what a great opportunity. Apply!
