Looking forward to getting together with our wonderful Cilia and Centrosome community in DC! We have lots of slots for talks, so don't forget to submit your abstract!
This kinda sounds funny but it’s not. Larry Summers is one of, if not the biggest bully currently active in academia. Why in God’s name is he still there? Why has he been there for the 20+ years that we’ve all known what he is like? WTF y’all been doing up at Harvard???
Gotta say I agree with Lady Catherine de Bourgh here…
In the 8 years that NYC was my home, I don’t think I ever paid attention to a mayor being sworn in. But I’m truly excited that our largest (and best ❤️) city is on track to return to its long history of generous social programs and again be a beacon to the nation. Much luck to Mayor Mamdani!
Cilia and Centrosome 2026 Meeting Update: We have extended the abstract deadline until June 23! Submit yours today to join a fantastic scientific program!
I’m so tired of this. This one hits close to home, literally- I’m from RI, and I’ve spend a lot of time near Brown’s campus. I know well all of the places referenced in the media. When can we replace our leaders (in both parties) and end this?
This. When my son was born, I tried so, so hard to exclusively breastfeed him. I had two different lactation consultants. Nothing really worked- I could not produce enough milk and he needed formula. Some people act like this isn't a real problem, but it is. Scare-mongering about formula is harmful
That was actually the exact topic Summers was meant to be addressing with that speech. So for the president of Harvard’s thesis on the topic to be “women probably aren’t smart enough to hack it” was disappointing, worrisome, and upsetting.
It should have. But Summers’ extremely obvious misogynist views were never disqualifying because Democratic politicians loved his neoliberal economics far more than they cared about the misogyny. That includes Obama and very much the Clintons.
When Summers made this speech, he was the president of Harvard, and I was a 25 yo grad student in cell and molecular biology, staring down the extremely bleak numbers offemale faculty running research labs in my field (despite the fact that we were at least half of trainees).
