Great advice!
Knowing how to give a good talk is a crucial skill to have, but it's mostly not formally taught very well. Here's a 🧵on my strategy for how to prepare for the presentation, actually present it, and then answer the questions.
"Motor disorders" are often linked to other debilitating symptoms that people around might not see...

How awesome is that? Henry Gee (@EndOfThePier), Senior Editor @Nature Journal, saw my tweet about teaching a scientific literacy course and offered to give a talk about the behind the scenes of being a Nature editor! It's happening tomorrow at noon - the students are psyched!! 🥳
I'm starting to teach a course in Scientific Literacy, from how to read a paper all the way to the behind the scenes (what's peer review, what are the alternatives, publishing and so on). Anyone has good resources to share? Examples for articles we could dissect are also welcome!

... And the reader understands what the experiment was about and what you did...
The benefits of clear writing: articles with concrete language, examples, active voice, and common (vs. technical) words are better cited. Articles +1 SD clearer got 157 more Google Scholar citations than comparable articles with less clear writing #AcWri #AcademicTwitter 😎
A good resume is crucial. Here are some good tips on how to improve it

Hey cool animation

Yesterday was my last day of working at Google. Perhaps this comes as surprise to you twitter folks, as I haven't widely announced that I left academia to try something new. Here's what I learned in 9 months as a Data Analyst who (temporarily) left Astronomy for Big Tech. 1/n

Question to scientists (especially ECRs): How should scientific merits be assessed in applications for positions and grants? How much should the number of publications/citations matter? (I am not a fan of the current system but don't see obvious alternatives) #science @NJF

Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.
