Me realizing that I can’t make ends meet even with a grant, but also can’t get a second job ( comically, at a grocery store that would give insurance just for being part time, while the Uni can’t) without violating the terms of my grant. #Postdoclife #isitworthit

Would love to know why researchers are being brought up in a culture where we are expected to sacrifice literally all other dimensions of ourselves to be "successful scientists" 🙄

This tweet always hits home too much. From moving cost to loans, how can people with less privilege succeed? . . . Just my thoughts

[I mean I guess this is a professioneal account @Professioneal]

This "fully funded" degree getting real expensive.

[Dr. Cameron P. Venable, PhD @CpvDoesScience]

I guess I’m trying to fix just one of the many gatekeeping tendencies of our field. Meaning, if you come from nothing and can’t afford your dream because of the cost (living cost, insurance, etc), than how am I to succeed? Just some thoughts and looking for input, Thank you!

[Dr. Cameron P. Venable, PhD @CpvDoesScience]

I realize this is quite a norm, but isn’t it hypocrital to be told you’re part of the Uni family, bring money and prestige into the uni, but can’t get something as small as insurance but still expected to provide so many free services such a DEI efforts and mentoring?

Color signals that are sexually dimorphic, but not fully? In fence lizards: immune function, condition, testosterone, and CORT all are factors maintaining incomplete sexual dimorphism

It’s something about the “stay safe” Black people say to each other in passing.

Our children are becoming more and more desensitized to black and brown people being killed by the police.

Feeling productive because I wrote "Abstract" "Introduction" "Methods" "Results" and "Discussion" on a blank page today

If you’re tired of the boycotts, imagine how tired black people are of getting shot by police

[Dr. Cameron P. Venable, PhD @CpvDoesScience]

Preach! Ain’t that the truth. Crazy it’s sort of hard to explain and find in STEM/Higher Ed. #Blackpostdoc

[Frankie D Heyward, Ph.D. @FrankieDHeyward]

Most black postdocs I know secretly long to be part of a vibrant and supportive community for them. If you're interested in connecting with other black postdocs tweet #blackpostdocs 👨🏿‍🔬👩🏿‍🔬

Thanks @cdnsciencepub for the science love now and for being the first paper of my career.

Does your day need more fire ants and fence lizards? 🐜🦎 @CpvDoesScience has got you covered, including predator-prey research in #CanJZoology. Thread ⬇️

Hey science twitter, I don’t do this often but I’m in need of some serious help. Any tips on how to find a science job (ecology focused; mainly behavior) during a pandemic, racial tension at an all time high, and a terrible job market?
