Best Thanksgiving gift ever! A NOA for a full budget for our @ucdavis Comparative Medicine T32 to support DVMs getting their PhD. So excited to expand the program to support 6 trainees. vetmed.ucdavis.edu/research/cmstp

The first three years of undergrad were a breeze for me! But the last? Classwork plus research plus applications plus my jobs? I spiraled into what I now know was ADHD burnout, depressed to admit I was drinking obscene amounts of caffeine every morning then alcohol to fall asleep. 100+ hours of tasks a week, many sleepless nights.
For the first time in my life I missed deadlines, but had no formal diagnosis or reason. My profs could’ve failed me, but instead supported me, now I’m a biologist!!

Within or without the presence of a potentially problematic holiday, I have a lot to be thankful for. Photographically, I started using a new Nikon rig. I got this shot on my first day!

Don't ruin thanksgiving by talking about politics. Ruin it by asking that one special academic/writer family member how their manuscript is coming along

Hi to the #cancer research community on Mastodon!
NCI has just published two new funding opportunities to support mechanistic studies into links between diet, lipid #metabolism and tumor growth & progression! First due date is 2/17/23; review will be organized and managed by NCI.
Read more about the U01 opportunity here: dlvr.it/SdBvSF
and about the parallel exploratory/developmental UH2, which limits unpublished preliminary data to 1/2 page, here: dlvr.it/SdBvMJ

This story with Tracy Chou, an engineer who specifically works on creating tools to stifle organised harassment online, getting kicked off of mastodon.social because of "reverse sexism/racism," is maddeningly infuriating.
We know that Mastodon's flagship instances have been having issues with moderation for a while, but this seems to point that the trend has gone from "ineffective absent moderators" to "moderators protecting the feelings of white men," which I think will backfire. It also validates every criticism the fediverse receives for being a bastion of tepid, neoliberal, racism-as-reflex whiteness.

To echo Tracy Chou's bannable offense: I also heavily recommend reading more books by non men, by non white people, and by non cisheterosexual people. What a violent ideology! Tabarnouche.
