In case you missed it: Women are less likely to be credited for their scientific contributions than men. It’s true across multiple fields & at all stages, with important repercussions for career progress. #WomenInSTEM #WomenInMedicine #MedTwitter nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Some may be taken aback by your refusal to downplay your capabilities for their comfort. Please, unapologetically claim your right to shine. Your strength, intelligence, and vision are not negotiable. Boldly occupy space, and continue to use your light to pave the way forward. K?

Kudos to Reviewer #3, who closed w/ this: "Praise for the authors: I try to end all of my reviews with areas of the paper I really liked because I know reviews can be hard to read. So here are a few areas of the paper where I thought the writing really shined." 1. __ 2. __ 3. __

During my PhD I beat myself up for not solving a problem. My husband said,“Your standing on the edge of human knowledge, looking out into the darkness, and upset that you can’t see what know one else has seen before.” This strikes that same cord. tinyurl.com/y3ca6u5w

We're doing a thing! Speakers @HHMINEWS Science Meetings will no longer put journal names on their talk slides. Instead display first author, year, PMID (or DOI) like @ardemp Why? -end prestige-signaling -people can actually find reference #nojournalnamesontalkslides

What matters is always the discovery, not who made the discovery. It's not that the scientist doesn't matter but the science must always come first.

*when the villain in the movie has a PhD* Viewers without a PhD: Ah, they are just saying he’s a smart villain. Makes sense. Viewers with a PhD: Ah, grad school and academia drove him to madness. Makes sense.

I really wish the world would let go of the myth that truly talented, visionary, passionate people are all 24/7 laser-focused on their work to the detriment of every other aspect of life and their physical and mental well-being.

I love this initiative. My workplace is SUPER supportive of both my husband and I as new parents, but if they weren’t I would surely be leaving (them or the workforce entirely). This helps empowers women to get what they need. #empoweringwomen #workingmama

I really feel story telling is a solid 50% of my job. The rest is empowering the characters and learning their backstory so I can do their story justice. Love the way @nathanbaugh27 lays this out and will definitely apply it!
