A popular FDA-approved drug to treat hypertension, hydralazine works, at least in part, by modulating RGS proteins! Honored to be a part of a collaborative team led by @MegaMatthewsLab! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Calling people "toxic" is rarely helpful. It focuses on their impact instead of their actions. Toxicity comes in 5 flavors: disrespectful, dishonest, cutthroat, exclusionary, and abusive. A good warning pinpoints patterns of behavior that are problematic and persistent. sloanreview.mit.edu/article/… wsj.com/health/wellness/toxi…

Wow. I just read the critiques for an NIH proposal that I’m on where every male key personnel is Dr. X but I’m just Helen Huang. That is not ok!!! It’s Dr. Helen Huang, Reviewer #2.

We are very excited to hear about this upcoming event that helps explain the graduate school process and bring some of the "unwritten curriculum" to participants!
It’s almost time for the University of Pennsylvania’s 2023 DEEPenn STEM Symposium on October 6-8!

The final version of this study was published today in @Nature : nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
Today we report in @ChemRxiv a scalable solution to the total synthesis (and structural reassignment) of the Portimines (bit.ly/3iJ61DT). In collaboration with @_chrisgparker_ and Luke Lairson the remarkable biological activity of this natural product family was revealed

When a man speaks assertively, people trust him: he's confident. When a woman does it, men dislike her: she's a bitch. It’s outrageous that women have to tame their tongues to protect fragile egos. Don't punish women for challenging stereotypes. Challenge the stereotypes. nytimes.com/2023/07/31/opini…

In science, we often equate brilliance with the ability to think about incredibly complex systems. However, sometimes brilliance looks like seeing the idea or solution that is so incredibly simple that nobody else has noticed it yet.
