In 1992 Peter Ratcliffe received this rejection letter from Nature. His findings were not "a sufficient advance in our understanding". 27 years later he won the Nobel Prize for the same discovery. Don't lose faith in the things you believe in.

High school students from all over Arizona joined President’s Professor Bimonte-Nelson’s lab for hands-on neuroscience workshops in preparation for the 2025 @AZAlzConsortium Conference. Thanks to Bimonte-Nelson and team for inspiring the next generation of researchers! 🧠🔬

Our manuscript highlighting the design, goals, and experiences of the MBCRC Advocate Researcher Program (MARP), which focused on building meaningful, bidirectional partnerships between advocates and researchers was published in @Nature_NPJ breast. nature.com/articles/s4152…

Indirect funds from @NIH make research possible — paying for lab space, utilities, IT and more. ASU convened experts in D.C. to unpack the proposed 15% cap and its implications on universities and research nationwide. 🔗 news.asu.edu/20250605-local…
