Dr. Olivia Thompson became interested in science while watching the show “Zoom” as a child and recreating from the show with her siblings. It is because of this  experience  that Dr. Thompson  especially  values science outreach for kids #BlackHistoryMonth (1/3) – at Athens, GA

She has probably done way more for under-represented/under-funded/under-resourced communities who can't afford the gatekeeping of modern publishing than any well-meaning "broader impact" grant.

Hurricane #Laura is forecast to bring storm surge values over one foot upon landfall, but you may be asking... "What is storm surge and why should I be so afraid of it?!" Well, we talked to the best in the business about it! @NHC_Atlantic's Jamie Rhome is on the show tomorrow!

...However, defunding is only part of the plan. Even a smaller police force still needs to be reformed to limit use of violence. Check out Campaign Zeros #8CantWait on action items that could decrease uneccessary police violence by 72% @samswey @deray joincampaignzero.org

Defunding the police does not mean disbanding the police! To prevent more violence and reform the system, we must do exactly that, reform it. Defunding the oolice will 1. Reduce the size of the police force, 2. Refocus the scope of responsibilities if the police force .... (1/3)

We have drafted a detailed protocol for antigen expression and ELISA set-up for COVID19 serology. Download it her: labs.icahn.mssm.edu/krammerl…. This can be used to set up ELISAs in research labs but also clinical labs. The vectors for expression can be requested from my lab.

I wrote this email to my Lab about my feelings on the current situation with a reassurance that low (or no) productivity will not effect their employment, LOR, or my view of them as scientists. Feel free to share!

If anyone is on an #amtrak #acela today in the Northeast, plz check the seat back pocket. You may find my #MacBook pro with all my family pictures, my dissertation, and the project I was just working on. I’d be so appreciative if you could turn it in to #lost and found. @Amtrak

Graduate school means constantly feeling like you’re not doing enough but also doing too much. So you’re burning out but also feeling like you’re not making enough progress towards your goals to actually deserve a break and it’s all very confusing #phdchat

The moment you typed "I know your house is on fire" and you your phone didn't stop you from hitting send asking that person to come to work...is proof technology can't save us from ourselves.
