It was such a pleasure getting to be a part of this paper and being in community with everyone involved! My hope is that there's a little something for everyone in this paper and the take away is that we are not alone and we belong in science

I am two weeks away from starting my new faculty position - any advice for new faculty?

Does anyone have any templates or guidance on writing letters of recommendation for undergraduate students? Especially for medical/dental school? I've gotten a bunch of requests since the end of the semester from students in my class and I've never written these before #academics #STEM #DBER

I'm grading final papers for my comparative animal physiology course and one group wrote in their conclusion a sentence that essentially said that physiology shows us there is more than one way to solve a common problem and THAT is such an important lesson!

Super excited to announce that I've accepted a Teaching Assistant Professor of biology position in the Lyman Briggs College at Michigan State University!

What are your most unhinged writing tips? For example, I wrote the first draft of my dissertation in Comic Sans because writing in Times New Roman feels permanent, and Comic Sans made it feel more like a draft. #academics #academicwritingtips #unhinged #dber #STEM

My paper titled "Am I Doing Enough?" Exploring how neoliberal discourses inform women doctoral students' experiences in biology has been out for a while, but finally has an issue assigned! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

The “leaky pipeline” and other metaphors have been ...link.springer.com

What's currently happening to science funding and higher education in the U.S. feels similar to what happened in Hungary several years ago. I reread a paper I co-authored on this topic, and oof, this is basically the same thing www.proquest.com/openview/db0...

Updating my "rejection prizes" spreadsheet, I am 2 rejections away from my next reward. Honestly, this is the best thing I've done to help soften the blow of the constant rejections in academia. This was not an original idea - someone suggested it on Twitter, I just don't remember who it was

Today a student shared a screenshot of a meme I used in my slides to their discord - so I feel like I'm winning in some regard. Sidenote - please share your favorite biology memes. Bonus points for physiology-related memes
