Know any US based 5-8th grade STEM teachers looking for ​free ​ways to connect their students with real STEM professional mentors to help them see themselves in STEM?

Tell them to sign up for Letters to a Pre-Scientist!

I think my students like my replacement better than me.

Today I met with students in Obregón, Sonora to talk about climate change and ocean acidification through @SkypeScientist and sent off the first letter to my pre-scientist pen pal through @LettersPreSci!

My friends bought me a doctoral sword (a replica of Andúril, the blade of Gondor) inscribed with my degree.

I will now have a sword in my office.

This week in lab we are doing metallic and ionic structures. I love relating periodic properties to the rocks I was obsessed with as a kid.

Below is the lattice model they built of fluorite compared to the actual fluorite!

@IBJIYONGI thank you for articulating your love for physics the way I wish I could about my love for chemistry. Thank you (and your mother) for your activism and your voice. As I introduce quantum chemistry to my first year students I will be weaving in lessons I learned.

PLEASE put in fans if there is no AC, I have very little melanin and I turn into an absolute lobster when warm. This is not how I want my students to see me.

Refining key words for a literature search is key when looking at income vs capital breeding in sharks.

No, being a chemist is nothing like Breaking Bad.

What’s a common misconception people have about your line of work?

People always think that, since I’m an ornithologist, I must have a pet bird. 🙃

The first chapter of my PhD is officially published! Get a look at how particulate matter (think of marine snow) is repackaged by zooplankton on reefs!

@WinterRiverRd @AcademicChatter Awesome! I'm a visiting assistant professor now and I've adjuncted in the past. I just want to make sure that I have a chance!

[Dr. Jaclyn Torkelson @DesertAndReef]

Anyone get hired at a PUI that didn't have postdoc experience but has great teaching experience? Asking for a friend...

@ecotrombonegal No one is should have to be ready.

[Dr. Jaclyn Torkelson @DesertAndReef]

According to a neighbor women make MORE than men in academia.

I about lost my mind correcting him then went into how it is even worse for women of color.

He was not ready.
