Agreed! That's why I wrote ggpubfigs, a ggplot2 extension that *only colorblind-friendly color palettes. Easily make your figures colorblind-friendly with ggpubfigs! xitter.cf/NKWhiteman/status/1852…

Every year I read a lot of grad school applications from accomplished people that don't give me the info I'm looking for. It feels like a major hidden curriculum thing. So here's (my opinion on) how to write a great Statement of Purpose/Research for a PhD program. 🧵 1/

With recent events and discussions around university pay, I created a website to anonymously collect & visualize academic salaries in hopes of promoting fairness through transparency: academicsalaries.github.io/ #AcademicTwitter

We are paying $3400 for infant daycare at Harvard. In 2017 as a first year postdoc, this is higher than my post tax salary. It does not make sense financially to work as a postdoc and to raise a kid. You wonder why some women quit science at this point??

Did you know: UCSF daycare is $2800/mo for infants? 😳😳😳 A UCSF 2bedroom is $2779/mo $5579/mo in just rent and daycare 🤯 To afford rent, daycare, and everything else, I have a 2x90min commute and live 30miles away from campus. It is very difficult. @UAW5810
