My cup is so full after spending last week at the Keystone Meeting on Hematopoiesis. Time with cutting-edge science, supportive mentors & colleagues, and getting to share this with members of my lab was priceless. Excited to bring new ideas back to the lab - blood rules! ♥️🩸
Heck yeah, I do!!!!! Clean lab, clean mind 💜
Excited to visit Penn later this week and share my career journey with graduate students. Penn took a chance on me 15+ years ago, and I’ll always be grateful for how it helped shape such a rewarding path.
"The only reason I don’t have this funding is because my last name is Rodriguez,” he said. “It has nothing to do with the science."

Super excited for the upcoming #cellbio2025 @ascbiology.bsky.social @embo.org meeting in Philadelphia! Check out the Special President's session on "The Rising Tide of Science Denial" on Saturday at 1pm!
Shoutout to first author, Isabella Alves, a @damonrunyon.org SPARK postbaccalaureate fellow and rising star in hematology. Very proud to see this work in print and honored to have had the opportunity to review the original article and learn more about the coolness of ferroptosis🩸🔮
Truly enjoyed writing this piece about recent discoveries by @bloodgenes.bsky.social and colleagues about how we can improve HSC expansion & gene editing by blocking ferroptosis!

This faculty journey would be so much harder without a best friend to go through it with. We share all the drama, all the wins, and all the in between. I hope every PI finds a person who gets them like we get each other - thank for @myron_evansPhD this and every season ♥️ 🍁
Recent office addition: peel and stick wallpaper to add some more brightness to accompany my endowed purple chair. It’s a dark time right now, so every bit helps keep me inspired and focused to take on the challenges that each day brings ♥️ 🌺 🩸 🦙
This is awesome 🌪️
lol sorry to break it to you but America does not like women
I've been working hard to bring the most Tina Termini to hematopoiesis. So far, so good!
Applications are open for the 2026 Zara Weinberg cohort of Leading Edge, named in honor of the incredible, brilliant, fearless @weinberz.witchlab.org.

Thank you for your bravery as an advocate for honest and accurate science, for your passion to pursue the mission of human health, for your service to the nation, and for being a role model to us all. May HHS and NIH leadership see the light and course correct for the benefit of all Americans 🙏
Trump’s HHS put me on “non-disciplinary” admin leave today. This was retaliation for speaking up. Moves like this are designed to silence us. Let’s not let.

If you find yourself in a mismatch, it’s okay for a mentor or a mentee say, “this is a mismatch”, or “I can’t give you what you need” and follow a path to another opportunity. It’s not a failure, it’s actually a sign of maturity and self-awareness.
That doesn’t mean to discount what lab personnel say… but you might desire more hands-off mentoring and space for creativity while someone else might need more hands-on training, more frequent check ins, or directives. Everyone is different.
Not every mentor is for every person. I always tell grad students to listen to what folks in the lab say about a mentor, but it’s okay to also see it for yourself in a rotation. It’s about the match - finding the person who can meet your needs (which are unique!).
I was a part of the 2020 Eddie Méndez Scholar Award cohort as a postdoc, which was my introduction to
