Wicked fun project to work on during my time @mtholyoke in Dr. Ken Colodner's lab. Happy to see the tracheal system get some recognition!

We were thrilled to work with @nytimes on a story about the fantastic work and collaboration that is done at our institution every day. Read the full article here: bit.ly/3J7ZJY5

We are thrilled that the FDA has approved Tofersen for SOD1 ALS! Tofersen becomes the second approved therapy for ALS in less than a year. Read the Healey & AMG Center's full announcement: massgeneral.org/neurology/al…

It happened. Today, @US_FDA granted accelerated approval for Tofersen.
This is a huge day for the entire ALS community and, in particular, the families who have SOD1-ALS. Today, they finally have some hope.

Excited to be presenting our latest results at #SFN22!! if you are headed to the conference come to say Hi at#453.22/DM me, and let's meet!

I understand the defensiveness, @CMillerLab has dedicated a lot of time and effort to DEI, through PWN and outside of it. The comment from @drugmonkeyblog is valid; we will reflect on it and improve. It could also have been delivered differently to really encourage discussion.

@drugmonkeyblog, your tweet is irresponsible and uncalled for. We've been hosting this at SFN since 2008. Have you attended? Pretty sure I've never seen you there or you'd know DEI is at the heart of all we do*. Pick on people that aren't trying to do good. *NotAllWhiteWomen
Maybe the white women* should humbly attend socials for people of color instead of inviting POC to a social focused on white women.

for those coming up behind us because it's safer to quietly focus on yourself. You know where to find me, I still have my scripps email

scientists. We'll gladly update our flyer to more clearly convey this. We constantly strive to lift others up. Feel free to email me next time for a constructive conversation. The last outcome we should want is for people to stop trying to make scientific experiences better 3/
Sadri-Vakili lab retweeted
welcomed, but many years ago we realized those experiences aren't unique to women so we widened our lens. A single flyer on twitter for our recurring social that has had hundreds of attendees each year can't capture our long history and extensive efforts to support all young 2/

PWN was founded in 2007 to support all women in science and we've been doing that for the past 15 years under that name. As postdoc co-founders, we were grappling with things like sexual harassment, scientific bias and negotiating for what we're worth. Everyone has always been 1/
