About to play for a national championship and still hitting the weight room. So much for all that “soreness” nonsense.

I talked to 7 women, all Asian international students, who said Dybvig sexually harassed them. From flirty emails to unwanted kissing and touching, their stories span at least a decade. Many said it was an open secret among female Chinese students.

Some news... I’m moving to @NIH as Director of βETA Center @NIBIB, to continue #sicklecell, proteases/tissue remodeling work, and expand DEIA efforts! @Morehouse, @CoulterBME PhD, PlattLab est. in 2009, 10 PhDs, 70 UGs, >140 HS students in #ProjectENGAGES. ATL has been great!
