Remember, a PhD isn't a competition with others. It's an opportunity to challenge yourself, learn new things, and become an expert in your field.

@marisaguido @SarahMackAttack 100% YES

If you’re at #Evol2022 and interested in primates and sperm competition, come see my first in-person conference talk at 2:45 in room 20!

Holy. Shit. What a brilliant, horrifying cover.

Weird how when you learn a new technique you follow the protocol religiously & the experiment somehow doesn't work but then after you do the experiment 97 times seemingly nothing you do can stop the experiment from working. There's a lot of subtle mastery in the craft of science.

me, getting the phylogenetic tree out from behind the couch: you know, it's interesting that you say that,

@DeafOn4Wheels I have endless respect for you. It’s brave to be honest and genuine about your experiences even if it makes people uncomfortable. Especially then. Thanks for sharing the good, bad, and ugly. Here’s a danger noodle as a token of my appreciation! Keep doin’ you!

@ADiaz_PhD Hi there! 👋🏻 First gen bachelors and now working on the PhD! I’m studying evolution in reproductive proteins, but I would love to connect with some professionals from other disciplines!

[Bri Ports @BriPorts]

Am I the only one who kinda loves doing experiments on the weekends? I thrive when I get the lab to myself.

The haunted look of a grad student who stayed up all night to run an experiment that didn’t end up working.

@spaceandweather I tend to edit work pretty heavy handed. Especially for the people who I think are the best writers. Mostly I rephrase sentences to help with the way the work flows from point to point. The best writers write with such a clear goal in mind that they miss the small stuff!

I’m not always the best at celebrating my achievements, but here I go!

I was selected to receive an award for Excellence in Teaching at my University! I put a lot into being a good TA and mentor and the positive feedback means everything to me. #AcademicChatter #womeninSTEM

@OpenAcademics Hi there! I’m Bri! I’m a 5th year Ph.D. Student at Duquesne University. I study male reproductive proteins in primates.

In my free time I like to read, annoy my cats, and I’m trying to learn how to draw!

@herazhar @AcademicChatter I started using Google Calendar this semester and it has been a total lifesaver! Just the act of blocking our time and writing it down has helped me a lot with remembering deadlines.
