Touched down in Indy. Let's do this, @ASUSwimDive. 😤😈 #ForksUp

@mpolikoff As well as just trying to be actively kind to everyone you engage throughout your day, instead of being standoffish or neutral. Smile, ask how people are doing, don't be rude, etc. It makes a huge difference in how you perceive the world and others perceive you imo 😀

@ErinDunnScD Congratulations @ErinDunnScD - obviously we can't contain our excitement!!!!!!!

Big update to share. After 10+ years at Harvard/Mass General, I am leaving for a new role at Purdue University starting June 1 2024. See below for more details. I am so grateful to Purdue leadership for making this happen. I'm also grateful to the many mentors and colleagues at Harvard/Mass General and beyond for helping me become the scientist I am. I will be hiring for MANY roles (in my lab and for the center - admin support, grad students, postdocs, faculty). Reach out if you #ThinkBroadlyLeadBoldly. BoilerUp!
