When you hire a grad student or postdoc, you're paying for their brain (highly skilled labor). If all their mental energy is going into worrying about living costs and other life problems, you're wasting your money. Better to pay more and actually get your money's worth.

@sa_redmond @Gabriel_Mck @NeuroBender @SarahBadding @sschamiloglu Agreed! That is a freaking amazing paper.

@jamienkrueger They put so much more into the design on yours.

@SarahBadding Say goodbye to consolidated sleep.

@nanopharmNC My wedding vows included the phrase "one of the things I love most about you is that you consider 72F to be *a little chilly*"

[Liz Unger, PhD @ElizabethKUnger]

@lisa_gunaydin I'm with you.

[Liz Unger, PhD @ElizabethKUnger]

@ak_gillespie Wow! So well deserved!

@PhD_Genie The day after my defense I went to lab in the morning, then drove 2h to see an apartment because I had less than a month to move and still hadn't signed a lease yet.

@tollkuhn @brunogegenhuber @Nature Simply fabulous. Solid work. Crazy impressive.

@Kyle_Ireton I like me a random forest, which is good at pulling out "feature importance".

@Kyle_Ireton The second half of the game is guessing what words other people guessed based on their color blocking.

Have you thought about using raspberry pis for behavioral recordings but weren’t sure how to get started? I created a wiki with instructions and code geared toward non-programmers so anyone can use these awesome mini computers for recording: https://t.co/rR5p4alPtx #OpenScience🐀

@enrique_lins @ashleyruba Is this offer open to others as well?

[Liz Unger, PhD @ElizabethKUnger]

@lisa_gunaydin I read a thread recently saying that men use competing offers to negotiate a better salary at their home institution, while women get competing offers and just leave.

[Liz Unger, PhD @ElizabethKUnger]

@DanielBayless @JosephKnoedler Amazing, as always.
