Being a scientist is NOT knowing every fact off of the top of your head. Being a scientist IS having the curiosity to say "I don't know" and the creative mind to tackle new problems. 1/ #AcademicTwitter

I spent some time making a mentoring compact for scientists in my lab to clarify expectations. Goal: explicit expectations & honest conversation on both sides. OK to re-use/adapt or think about when joining a group. Links below.

Hear me out: An institute-supported science communications “lab” that provides holistic PR & comms support to faculty & trainees— not just press releases for CNS papers... Staffed by 1-year post-PhD fellowships to train those transitioning out of academia to industry jobs.

I am absolutely shook and appalled. Many grad students would NOT be eligible for workers compensation or cover medical expenses if injured while working in a research lab. Absolutely awful story to read cen.acs.org/safety/lab-safet…

I want an episode of hoarders but instead of people’s homes it’s PIs having to go through their freezers full of samples they’ve had in there since the 90s

This is a truly excellent video by high school student Chenjing Liaw about limiting exposure time—a critical COVID prevention strategy that doesn’t get enough attention. Our highest compliments to Chenjing! (h/t @ErinBromage) m.youtube.com/watch?v=UXeUvB…

Yes we are delivering better and more effective COVID care. But we can’t pull nurses, techs, APPs, docs, or other esssntial team members out of thin air. Counting physical beds is the crudest measure.
