Labwork to Leadership officially released today!!
I'm humbled by the support from our community, as it's already sold out in most places.
But the eBook is available now on kindle & apple books or you can still pick up a hard copy through @Harvard_Press:

You’re not alone if the science career path feels unclear—especially as a new faculty member. @jenheemstra’s book is here to help you find direction.
✨ This book is the mentor every early-career scientist needs. #STEMCareers #AcademicLife #SciMentor
First copies of my book are here!! As a new faculty member, I realized that in addition to my research job, I also had a leadership job…and I wasn’t prepared for that.
This book is the guide I wish I’d had then, with the goal of helping others now.

Navigating uncertainty does *not* mean you are accepting what is happening around you.
Rather, it helps you maintain your strength and focus so you can stand up for your values and advocate for what is important.
Check out the video for four steps for navigating uncertainty.

RNase L cleaves most tRNAs in the anticodon loops into various tRNA-derived RNAs (tDRs) including 5'-tDRAla that shows a translation inhibitory effect. Some tRNAs are also cleaved in variable loops. bit.ly/3YTwlNq
Huge congratulations to Dr. @alexquillin🧬🔬🧬for successfully defending her PhD🎓🎓 Her groundbreaking work on leveraging biomolecules to illuminate the landscape of RNA in cells and tissues is truly inspiring. The future is bright — and it starts today🚀🚀 #PhDDefense #ProudLab
