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.

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.

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…

Our Board made a powerful statement for inclusiveness today by authorizing a change to our Honors College name and recommending the same for Tillman Hall. These actions are consistent with our values. This is a proud day for Clemson. go.tig.rs/o6cxws

My wife just told me that she is sick of getting emails that start with "Hope you are well" or that use the phrase "in these crazy times." So I am pilot-testing alternatives. So far the winner is "Hello. I am not dead. It would be good if you were also not dead."

This is so sad. This man has no clue what a postgraduate degree is about. Students do learn but mostly PhDs are students teaching PIs, not the other way around. Chinese students who come here are incredibly talented; we're fortunate to learn from them. xitter.gq/atrupar/status/1254428…
