@IBCradiation @Debeblab Hi Wendy! I will borrow the term “nerd day” love that! Hipe to see you soon!

Awesome nerd day today with our amazing and fun MDACC /UT Austin TRIUMPH IBC Accelerator Grant Team talking science and updating our advisory board! We even took a field trip to the UT Health chemistry labs on South Campus to brainstorm the ARPA-H submission. Fun:) @Debeblab

Resolución de la Junta Administrativa del Recinto de Río Piedras de la Universidad de Puerto Rico en respuesta a las expresiones de la Presidenta de la Universidad de Puerto Rico y sobre la crisis estructural de financiamiento e infraestructura del Recinto de Río Piedras. @uprrp @UPR_Oficial

@CterminiPhD I attended the #KSUbiquitin26 last week in Banff. What an exciting experience, so much to learn and share. Definitely a great environment to kick off the projects!

My cup is so full after spending last week at the Keystone Meeting on Hematopoiesis. Time with cutting-edge science, supportive mentors & colleagues, and getting to share this with members of my lab was priceless. Excited to bring new ideas back to the lab - blood rules! ♥️🩸

@CterminiPhD Not just “new PIs” affected. I still have grants ending, some to be reviewed and others to be resubmitted too. Nerve wracking!

Sick to my stomach thinking about study section meeting right now. I don’t imagine many new PIs are feeling amazing right now, so putting it out there that I’m here for you ♥️

I am excited to share that we are soliciting applications from postdocs for our 8th cohort of the Eddie Méndez Scholar Program to join us at Fred Hutch next summer to celebrate their achievements 🎉 Apply here 👇 👇 👇 apply.interfolio.com/176955 📆 Applications due 2/1/2026

@CterminiPhD Let’s be hopeful

R01 study section rescheduled for the exact next day that the government could shut down again... 🫠

@CterminiPhD Felicidades 🎉🎊🍾

Major lab milestone unlocked ❤️🔓🩸☢️🦴 Just got word that the first paper from the lab was accepted for publication 🥹 overjoyed and so so so proud of our team for the incredible work they did to make these discoveries happen.

@CterminiPhD I have a DOD, my R16 renewal, a small business grant pitch to the NSF and our STTR all in limbo… I did submit my critiques on time for my study section meeting which was supposed to be this week. Persist ✨✨✨✨

NIH study section was supposed to meet today. It won’t. I know I’m going to find a way to persist, but it’s a really hard time right now. Sending ♥️ to all, especially those early career PIs still trying to ‘make it’.

Come join us 😃

@CterminiPhD Hang in there… it gets better, I promise ✨✨✨

I find new ways to screw up in this job every single day. It’s truly humbling… and exhausting 😔

Las voces científicas que tanta luz brindaron a los puertorriqueños durante la pandemia, no estan calladas, están cansadas. Aun así, la misma responsabilidad que sentimos en ese tiempo, sentimos hoy. Las vacunas salvan vidas.

@Tatanutres @huertorico Coordinemos la visita! 🍄⚡️⚡️⚡️

We will be offering the 2nd Latino Cancer Patient Advocate Training in February 2026. Still looking for sponsors for this unique training. Let me know if you are interested in sponsoring. We can chat! Pic from the 1st training

@thesilvalab @amcdarnell Hi @thesilvalab !!! Such an awesome topic! Do you mind sending me the paper? Unfortunately I have limited access in my institution. Thank you in advance ⚡️⚡️⚡️ michelle.martinez@uccaribe.edu

📣In a collaboration with the @amcdarnell , we discuss the complexity of the ribosome ubiquitin code and what the field has done to crack it! "The ribosome ubiquitination code: fine-tuning translation under stress" Read it here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

As we anxiously wait to receive clarification from NIH and new guidelines/limitations of animal research in preclinical drug development projects, I just want to remind everyone that..

@CterminiPhD That is a “what were you thinking??!!! “ Look 💕💕

Jk this grant is not ready to resubmit 😂

@CterminiPhD Unfortunately you are 💯 correct. I learned what not to do to my trainees from a toxic, racist and sexist experience from a female senior scientist.

There’s a misconception that all women in academia support women in academia…. False. Some of the most toxic and sexist academics I’ve ever met are women. It’s bonkers, but IYKYK.

@CterminiPhD Handsome 😍

One of my absolute fave pics of my boy

This is a major story from #ASCO25. Randomized phase 3 trial of time of day of immunotherapy infusion. Randomized to infusion before or after 3pm. Early infusion far superior: PFS 11.3 vs 5.7 HR 0.42, OS HR 0.45! Impactful, pragmatic, not costly. This should be a bigger story.

NIH is temporarily extending eligibility for some mentored career development awards. If your award prematurely ended on/after Jan. 1, 2025, you can apply for a new mentored career development award if all other requirements are met. grants.nih.gov/news-events/ni…
