Absolutely! Life is full of unexpected challenges that often require us to pivot and adapt. Sydney’s ability to quickly adjust her plans for the inauguration gathering is a perfect example of resilience and flexibility—two essential skills in both our personal and professional lives. These moments remind us that sometimes, what seems like a setback can lead to even greater success. Embracing change and being open to new solutions can turn challenges into opportunities. Kudos to Sydney for her adaptability and for reminding us all of the importance of pivoting when necessary! Let’s celebrate these moments of growth and the lessons they teach us. #LifeSkills #Adaptability #Resilience #Leadership #GrowthMindset #Inspiration Sydney Hill Lisa DeFalco Lisa DeFalco Repost: Ever make a plan in your career then encounter an foreseen circumstance that forces you to pivot and change EVERYTHING to fulfill your true objective? Watching my daughter successfully pivot to host 60 constituents in freezing DC weather for Inaugration Day reminded me that pivoting skills are important in our careers and life! The constituent gathering, first planned outside, was a success and it was much more enjoyable to be in a warm office vs standing in the cold anyway! So that last minute change that caused her to pivot EVERYTHING in her plan was actually a positive — even though it didn’t feel that way to her in that initial moment. Well done, Sydney! I think we all have moments that cause us to PIVOT. It’s a great reminder of a valuable life lesson! hashtag #lifeskills
Inauguration weekend 2025 Watching history be made as Donald J. Trump officially become our 47th President is something I will never forget. It was especially special to share it with my mom Lisa DeFalco and show her where I spend each day. Every congressional office I’ve worked for has been a dream come true, but serving Congressman Buchanan and the people of Florida’s 16th congressional district (my hometown!) is especially so. Each day is a dream and there is no place I’d rather be. Here’s to America’s Golden Age. Let’s get to work!

Postdoctoral Fellow at Emory University || Share my PhD stories || Reviewer || Obesity || Alzheimer's disease || Metabolism || Microbiome || Protein purification || I love F1 🏎️
USA is great place for #STEM students. However, the greedy health insurance system is beyond horrible for many. If you are a future graduate student trying for US Universities, please be clear with your department on the health insurance charges. Often, it is not clearly mentioned in the offer letter. As a graduate student this is how I managed my PhD life with health insurance payments: 1. No insurance for my kids! There was absolutely no alternative for me. 2. No eye or dental insurance! I was in survival mode only! 3. Minimized risks of accidents by avoiding the gym, sports and cycling. 4. Paid insurance premium monthly. It helped as I knew my monthly expenses. 5. Never missed the free health check up. 6. Flu shot on time. The comments section of this critical post exposed the entire US health system. I recommend prospective graduate students to read the comments. Nevertheless, I am against violence. Every life matters. If there is a problem, the solution is also there. We just need to address it. #phd #usa #science #health #insurance

Brian Thompson went from Jewell, Iowa (population 1,200) to leading 140,000 employees and overseeing $280B of revenue at one of the world’s most important companies. His mom worked as a beautician, his dad at a grain elevator—they were probably really proud when he graduated valedictorian of his 50-person high school class. He played basketball and the trombone, got elected homecoming king, and worked in soybean fields and meat processing plants during summers. While studying at the University of Iowa, he met the woman who would become his wife, with whom he would have two kids. By all accounts, he was smart, hard-working, funny, and a thoroughly decent man. This guy—not the person who murdered him in cold blood—was everything that’s right and good about America, and the American Dream. May his memory be a blessing, and may his example inspire all of us to do better.

Leading an extraordinary team in my community to provide a path to sustainable housing, end homelessness and overcome threats of human trafficking and domestic violence--through fundraising! Give today.
Multiple things can be true. 1. Gunning someone down in cold blood is wrong, evil and detestable. 2. Choosing to enrich yourself as part of an industry designed to kill and maim people by denying them life saving healthcare is wrong, evil and detestable. 3. Both 1 and 2 should have consequences. I could add number 4: It is wrong for industries to exist, thrive and enrich the privileged elite by extracting money from desperate people. It's time for America to take a hard look at the kleptocracy inherent in the insurance, mortgage and credit industries.

So, was he good guy who didn't deserve to be murdered, or a bad guy who got his just desserts at the hands of the people's vigilante? The problem is that Corporate Culture, esp in the US, demands that CEOs are hired and rewarded for delivering shareholder value and not customer satisfaction or even creating a great company to work for and be a part of. Until that changes - in all industries - CEOs in shareholder-owned / publicly-owned companies will put profit before people because if they don't, they get fired and replaced by someone else who will - usually an ex-CFO who thinks money is the product, rather than the original service or brand promise envisioned by the founders. It's a major fail in modern culture, esp in the healthcare Industry (which should probably not be "an industry") but also a side-effect of the positive side of modern capitalism, which allows companies to exist or expand by being funded by people with money, who want to make more money. How can we keep both? - Keep shareholders away from corporate decision-making or even target-setting, and stop treating Money as The Final Product in any business that isn't literally minting coins.
