Sometimes, I start my lab meetings with a world view of “things”. It helps to provide a place where it’s clear science is second to sanity, inclusion, respect, etc.

I don’t even have to words to begin lab meeting next Monday,

My lab is at Harvard. Btw.
When there is war. I speak about loving everyone and peace, etc… and I remind people if they feel unsafe, tell me so I can provide a safe place.
When there is a viral uptick, I speak about safety precautions, freedom of masking, etc.

I’m up. Ever since my sister’s accident, I haven’t slept a bit. Soooo here is a thread on how a clinical trial drug likely saved her life, and moreover how Black respresentation amongst @DukeHospital’s surgery trial coordinators saved her life.
Sunday, my baby sister was in an accident. She had critical trauma and when she got to the ER was still alert and aware. With her level of trauma about 30% of people lose so much blood they don’t make it.
Knowing this, researchers have been studying clotting factors, and currently… in trial… is a drug that mimics the bodies inflammatory response to trauma to essentially speed the recovery response and the clotting… it nearly always works.

LOT. Image

I just called into a meeting that EYE curated back in 2018 after interest in Coronaviruses got low. People were leaving our meetings so I rebranded it as the “emerging infectious diseases” meeting. When the pandemic started interest went up and it became a center-wide meeting.
The meeting today ended with “okay which principal investigator will take over”. It’s extremely hard to leave your baby behind… but… you know…
Go where you are loved. x My Dad

Today, my dad and my PhD dad get to witness me getting an honorary degree from UNC. I didn’t “walk” after defending my dissertation. So today... I walk.

So many full circle moments this year.

Honored.
1/n: I hope that no one to which I owe manuscript edits is reading this, but I felt a thread on my spirit as I listened to my UNC commencement address entitled "Home". instagram.com/tv/CPEMTyPHthd…
2/n: I just got an honorary doctorate from the institution (@unc) that I also received my PhD in Microbiology and Immunology in 2014. I cried during my "thank you", and I cried when I defended my dissertation, and I cried when @HarvardChanSPH announced my faculty appt last wk.

TARRRRRRRRR!!!
“She was also involved in several extracurricular activities, including serving as a representative on Student Congress, a delegate to the Association of Student Governments, a staff member in the Attorney General’s office and as a member of the science policy advisory group.”
This quote is a reminder to all students far and wide to not allow anyone to put you in a box. You are not “just” a PhD student. You are a citizen first. Do you, Boo.
