We are delighted to see our work published in @jci-insight.bsky.social! Reducing salt intake is advised in decompensated #cirrhosis, but not so much in compensated patients. We show that moderating salt intake may also help avoid inflammatory complications in these patients. Thx to my team @umh.es

A finding worth its salt!

@jmgnavajas-phd.bsky.social & team discover dietary salt exacerbates Th17-driven inflammation in cirrhosis: buff.ly/bvEPKT0

The image shows exacerbated liver fibrosis in a mouse model of CCL4-induced liver injury with a high-salt diet.

That’s an 8% success rate. Way too low, in my opinion. Many excellent proposals from excellent candidates will not be funded.

So painfully true

Last week I participated in the evaluation panel of an early postdoc fellowship in Spain. If you are thinking of applying to something like that, my advice:
- Quality over quantity in your publications
- Mobility is key. Even a few months of international research experience helps!

I always loved the reaction of the referee in this video. He seems genuinely happy for the guy

I worked as a postdoc and project scientist at UCSD for ~8 years total. When I was ready to apply for faculty positions I had to go back to Europe for family reasons and become PI there instead. I loved San Diego and for years I felt like it was a step back in my career. Now, it feels the opposite

I am writing a grant proposal that is due in 5 days. Suddenly, the idea doesn’t sound attractive anymore and I have the urge to change it completely: hypothesis, aims, methodology… pretty much everything.
My gut and my brain are fighting. Not the first time, but this time they’re getting serious

When you submit a Clinical Gastroenterology paper to a Clinical Gastroenterology Journal and the editor rejects it because it doesn’t fit the journal’s scope

I have spent a couple of days trying to come up with something interesting for my first post in Bluesky

I got nothing
