Sometimes I hear people say that you have to be extroverted or charismatic to be a good leader. I disagree. Think about the leaders you respect. There’s a good chance there are some quiet or introverted people on that list. There are many different ways to be a great leader.

Here's the thing. We have **NO IDEA** how to pick good graduate students. I served on admission committees for 10+ years, and chaired a few, and what I learned is that all the spreadsheets of grades and test scores and recommendations and essays and publications and interview rubrics are just an elaborate ruse to pretend we know what we're doing when we simply don't. Many of the most highly ranked applicants to our "top" program flamed out quickly, and tons of the students we summarily rejected have turned into amazing scientists. But in the name of creating meritocratic seeming rankings that are more about creating a workforce than great scientists (a system that anyone paying attention knows is bullshit), we've created a homogenous process adopted by nearly all institutions that has stamped out the one thing we should be striving for - given our lack of any clear understanding of what leads to success - a wide range of difference talents and experiences.

Pretty crazy after reviewing the applications of some Stanford PhD applicants and feel like they can graduate right away after the admission 😄

Would you prefer to lead a lab alone or together with a science buddy? How interesting would be a research institute where joint labs are the standard?!

Because skin cancer is less common on Black skin, people with unusual skin growths may need to strongly advocate for themselves, especially if a doctor has little experience with darker skin. If a growth changes or seems suspicious, connect with a doctor.

Humility and confidence are not mutually exclusive and great leaders have both. Humility to know what they don’t know and confidence to ask questions and rely on others. Humility to know that they’re not perfect and confidence to admit their mistakes and to grow and improve.

Strong relationships don’t need agreement. They need alignment. Agreement is having identical opinions. Alignment is having shared values. Agreement is taking the same path. Alignment is heading in the same direction. Closeness is a matter of commitment, not consensus.

On the tougher days in this job, I need to remind myself that: -the self-doubt means I have ambitious career goals -the failure means I'm taking risks and trying something new -the frustration means I care and I'm passionate about my work
