While it’s fun to banter about what constitutes a good lab, the part of this that is uncomfortable to discuss is that leaving a bad lab is in many cases near impossible. Few universities offer much support and PIs can and do retaliate, in some cases ending careers.
For a PhD student, choosing a good lab is 10 times more important than choosing a particular topic to study

Here is another instance of how Science is being censored. A publication, which has been peer-reviewed, and validated, has been removed due to "legal reasons". #retraction @RetractionWatch @drabbyphilips
1/ Dr.Thakur, this is a huge issue. Big industry. Powerful lobby. They crush critique wit money power. I hav experienced it first hand. Here is my story. Last year March, I published this article based on my experience wit a patient who died after consuming herbalife products

@MicrobiomDigest has also written in detail about this, which can be read here - xitter.cf/MicrobiomDigest/status…
Herbalife just sent me an email stating I was incorrect to write that the paper describing the death of a woman on Herbalife-products got retracted for non-scientific reasons :-) So I updated my blog post with their response. scienceintegritydigest.com/2…

The latest interview of @manoliskellis by @lexfridman was one of the most beautiful in recent memory. The thoughtful bridging of the origins of LIFE on Earth, to the emergent experience of finding human meaning and the art of poetry was powerfully moving. youtube.com/watch?v=brslF-Cy…

A subtle reminder: use self-citations where it's "necessary". Don't shy away from it!
Recently had a reviewer call us out for not citing our own work in our manuscript. They highlighted that men tend to overuse self-citation whereas women tend to underuse it. Whomever you are, thank you Reviewer 2!

If you currently use "he/she" and "his/her" in your writing, please consider switching to "they" and "their" because: -it's far less awkward to read -it eliminates gender biases associated with these pronouns -it's more inclusive of all individuals across the gender spectrum

This week we look at the current economic systems in place and the role they play in the way the pandemic has developed. We also discuss with @RhiFirth and @Professor_John how class, race and gender render specific groups more vulnerable to the worst effects of the virus #COVID19
