Deciding what to do for postdoctoral research is a tough process.

Don't exclusively focus on your unique skills and how desirable those are for future supervisors.

Think instead about what you want to learn.

Your future self will thank you for it.

@BrianKelch Congrats, Brian!

Grad students, if you’re going into lab today solely because your PI requires weekends, that stinks and I’m sorry. Take back ownership by reminding yourself that the research you do today is building *your* future career and moving you closer to *your* goals. #PhDchat

Carl Woese once told me: “If you want to answer the big questions, you have to get down into the trenches. You don’t have to stay there forever, and you shouldn’t. But you have to know how it’s actually done.”

Was great fun putting this special issue of @JMolBiol together! Lots of insightful papers on how diffusion, stochasticity, exchange and plasticity are important in multi-protein complexes.

"The study of NIH grants from 2006 to 2015 found that less prestigious institutions produced 65% more publications and had a 35% higher citation impact per dollar of funding than prestigious institutions." https://t.co/WEo2CWrDHz

Kudos to NIH's Ad Bax on today's recognition from the Robert A. Welch Foundation! https://t.co/LWRPziY57H

No sympathy for lying scum.
But it is true that academia routinely raises salaries of disloyal employees--those who seek employment elsewhere--and rarely raises salaries of loyal employees.

How professor's scheme to get raise ended up wrecking career. https://t.co/5ju1jHaKso

I have been called,
-Bossy
-"Too aggresive"
-A bi*%$h
-"Too energetic"

It used to bother me.

Now, I am very comfortable on my own skin.

You can call me whatever you want, that won't change my goals.

It won't stop me!

The push towards true open-access to scientific work gains new momentum! https://t.co/TjsLVuT6V0 It always struck me as strange that for many journals, my lab has to pay page charges when a paper is accepted, and then people have to buy access to the paper to read it!

Who would have thought that microtubules could get subunits removed and reincorporated from their shafts as well. Beautiful work from the Roll-Mecak lab.

Abraham Flexner's 1939 essay, "The Usefulness of Useless Knowledge" is cited by a most unlikely columnist (conservative George Will) to point out the importance of basic (non-utilitarian) research. Maybe George is beginning to understand science? https://t.co/MI61GlHE8x

Just out: a study on the impact of lecture recording on student attendance and attainment.

Surprise, surprise: "The net effect of lecture capture introduction on the cohort is generally negative"
