As I boil eggs to make deviled eggs and get ready to inject my turkey with Cajun seasoning, I'm jamming out to some of my favorite Christmas tunes. So if you are celebrating the holidays or just a regular Sunday tomorrow. Have a good one and I hope the spread is covered in the Denver […]

Yuletide submission
genomicrepairman December 23, 2016 Lab / Publishing
I'm submitting a paper today, hopefully. So journal, Santa's coming early baby! Remember that dear editor, don't have ice water flowing through your veins and desk reject. Because Santa GR will remember and you'll get a lump of coal next year! If you are celebrating the holidays, I hope you have a safe and […]
“Winning” a Title IX case
proflikesubstance December 20, 2016 [Education&Careers] / [Science in Society]
The post below was written by a friend who has been through a lot in the past few years. I'm hosting it (was previously on pastebin) here to keep a permanent archive and also to make sure it gets seen. I am always shocked at what some universities will do to keep their "reputation" from […]

The Standards for a Non-Profit University.
dr24hours December 13, 2016 Academia / Education
I saw a tweet today that says something I've been thinking for quite some time in that distilled pith that twitter encourages: The modern neoliberal university cares nothing for truth. Only income. Whether directly or indirectly through esteem / flawed metrics etc — Peter Tennant (@PWGTennant) December 13, 2016 This is also true of hospitals, […]
Another #sfnbanter in the books!
Dr Becca December 12, 2016 Uncategorized
Wow, you guys. This year's banter was just beyond. What was once 25 bloggers & tweeters in the corner of a bar is now LITERALLY ONE THOUSAND neuroscientists of all stripes taking over San Diego's 5th avenue like rock stars. I believe, now, that my work here is done, and it's time to pass the torch while […]
Clearing the backlog
genomicrepairman November 29, 2016 Postdoc / Publishing
I'm currently not able to spend a lot of time in lab (booo!) and stuck at my desk working on papers (yay!!!!). Papers good right? Yeah but too many manuscripts are coalescing at once. I'm staring at four drafts of papers from me (2 first authorships, 2 co-authorships) and I'm looking at my excel sheet […]
Don’t forget to celebrate
odyssey November 21, 2016 careers / Life
I know there's a lot of doom and gloom right now. Let's face it, 2016 has SUCKED. It has sucked giant bags of rotting leprous pig dicks. And then some. But... Let's not forget to celebrate when things do go right. People are submitting grants, publishing, graduating students, winning at other aspects of life. Give […]
Well, that hurts
gerty-z November 9, 2016 exhaustion / Politics / queer
I sat stunned watching the election last night with Twig and close friends. It was devastating to see how many folks signed on to Trump's view of America. An America that doesn't value me, my family, or my work. Fuck.
OMG IT’S FINALLY VOTING DAY
gerty-z November 8, 2016 Uncategorized
Holy shit, you guys. It’s here. Election day. Sweet Jibbers, get out there and VOTE, people. I’m a pretty fucking frazzled, tbqh. This election season has really fucked with me. I mean, I’ve listened to the racist, bigoted, misogynistic shit-storm that is DJT. It sucked, and it brought up some feelings that I have had […]
