I'm extremely excited to be organizing a symposium at NCI Center for Cancer Research with Joe Ziegelbauer on RNA therapeutics next week through the NCI RNA Initiative. Check out the amazing speaker list! bit.ly/49Ehl8A

As you travel the path towards your goals, it’s essential to understand your why, as you will encounter moments that will test your resolve. Opt to pursue endeavors that fill you with purpose and confidence, embrace each step of the way, and seek guidance from a support network.

I get so much joy from seeing other people flourishing. Cannot imagine seeing other people shine and thinking that somehow affects my own light.

Honored to be part of the 2023 Class of AAAS Fellows and grateful to the members of Heemstra Lab for the record of research and mentoring we have built! I'm so proud of what we have achieved together!!

Congrats to all of the 2023 Fellows!!🎉

The ACS National Younger Chemists Committee is hosting a 2024 Local Section Leadership Series event on Thurs May 9 @ 6 pm ET/3 pm PT on Zoom. Professor Jen Heemstra will speak about her experiences with social media and how to grow your online reach. RSVP: bit.ly/3xBUi0S

Words make a difference. Whether I'm sending an email to students, staff, or faculty, I start with 'Dear Colleagues'

No matter what our education background, titles, or job duties, we are all colleagues and should treat each other with the respect inherent in that word.

📢It's happening tomorrow! Join us as we welcome THE Jen Heemstra ( Heemstra Lab ) for a talk on 'A chemical biology toolbox for exploring A-to-I RNA editing' in our chembio seminar series. Don't miss it!

Mentorship is often done in silence, goes unnoticed, but many hours go into forming the next generation of leaders. Grateful to all who put in the time & work to share

Mentoring is sharing.

Sharing knowledge, resources, network, and space for our mentees to take control of their careers and shine their unique lights.

Reflecting on a week that was incredible (and sometimes incredibly hectic) in so many ways, and I keep coming back to the principle that:

Science may be the method I use, but people are the motivation for everything I do.

Yesterday our amazing mentor and groupleader Jen Heemstra was installed as the Charles Allen Thomas Professor and Chair WashUChem She gave a fantastic talk going from research to mentoring to her personal experience! We and the department are so lucky to have you!

Hi there, kindly partner with me to cover my relocation/ flight costs to Charlotte, UNCC, where I will begin my PhD in chemistry and nanoscale science in August.

Procrastination can be a sign that you don't have what you need to complete a task:

Instead of putting off replying to an email, maybe you need to say 'I'm not sure how to respond because...'

Instead of putting off a task, maybe you need to reach out for advice to complete it.

Great mentors expand your capacity while also sharpening your focus.

They help you to see all of the things that you’re capable of doing while also helping you to choose which of those things are worth pursuing.

Thanks to all the #ACSDBC student travel awardees who joined us on Monday night! It was a pleasure to chat with such talented young scientists 🧬🧪🔬

Been waiting years for this. Thanks for getting it done!
