THIS IS SO COOL.

Have you ever heard the saying that women need to have children in order to be happy? Ever wonder why people say that? New paper thread alert! https://t.co/MguKd8EeZ0

Over the years, the lab and I have come up with various materials for science process (writing, presenting, reviewing, etc.). Here they are, loosely organized in a Google Doc. Hope it is useful! https://t.co/dYtFtBUpgQ

@TheRealKiraS @thisteeks ME TOO. On repeat.

Note to mentors: remember to warn new mentees that this👇is normal. Although I’m totally used to seeing my work come back to me like this (one of my old grants), it can be shocking the first time. I forgot to warn a new grad student and regrettably caused a lot of distress 🤦‍♀️

“When someone provokes you, if you respond with anger or some other negative emotion, your mind is tricked into believing you are being harmed. So it is essential not to respond to impressions impulsively. Take some time before reacting.”

The hallmark of curiosity is a thirst for knowledge that has no obvious utility.

Being a lifelong learner is taking joy in exploration regardless of whether the discovery has immediate relevance.

The goal is to understand for the sake of understanding.

😂😂😂 No I wish we could put them together with the *youknowwho*. I mean, surely people want to be with other people who are similar to them??

@DrRachel_Low @jacindaardern NEW ZEALAND ISN'T IMMUNE TO CRAZY PEOPLE?!?! NOOOOOO

A video of a kitten feeding on milk from a dog in Nigeria has gone viral. The unusual moment between the two animals likely happened because the kitten was weaned too early from its mother and needed milk. Luckily, the sleeping dog doesn’t seem to mind ❤️

[Dr rach ♊ @DrRachel_Low]

😭 Why.

Is this resonating with anyone else right now? #AcademicTwitter #LeadershipMatters

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Narcissistic leaders are their own biggest fans. They demand loyalty but show little loyalty in return. They believe no one is above them.

Humble leaders are their own harshest critics. They earn respect by showing respect. They believe no task is beneath them.

My wife does this with her chopsticks when she steps away from the table because "it's more convenient for me when i have to pick up my chopsticks again."

All I feel is anxiety. For me and my ancestors. 😂

Don't become so radicalized that you interpret every call for equality and fairness as "pandering to the woke mob".

Don't become so radicalized that you interpret every critique of critical race theory as an act of racism.

Open your mind. Open your heart. Think for yourself.

[Dr rach ♊ @DrRachel_Low]

This.

Be more honorable than the generation that raised you

I wish students knew how much more work goes into teaching online courses compared to in-person courses. Rather than just being lecturers, we are now also web designers and video editors and content creators. This is exhausting.
