A terminal cancer diagnosis has changed the arc of my career.
I'm winding down the lab, but VERY excited to launch a fundraising campaign to raise money for young scholars to participate in the Research Society on Alcoholism Annual Meeting.
Standoff? Coexistence? Saw these two biding time in my pool skimmer this morning. Anybody knows what kind of snake it is? Dr. Morris? @Jmorri2Jim

Congratulations to Dr. James Birchler, 2020 recipient of the Barbara McClintock Prize for Plant Genetics & Genome Studies. He is recognized for fundamental contributions to understanding chromosome structure, gene dosage, epigenetics, and for creating artificial mini-chromosomes.

Having new acquaintances in COVID-19 era is strange. Half a dozen undergrads recently joined the lab and I have only met them with masks on. Every now and then I hear a cheerful “Hi Dr. Sekhon” from a young person passing by and I am later scratching my head “do I know this kid”

Happy to share that I’ve donated $10,000 to provide medical assistance to the farmers in need in India to help save lives during these times. I hope we can prevent any additional life from being lost. 🙏🏾 #FarmersProtest usnews.com/news/world/articl…
Today is the first day of 10 consecutive palindromic dates (month/day/year combinations). Good omen?
