Excited that our paper looking at prion gene variation in endangered Eld's deer has come out in Frontiers in Conservation Science! https://t.co/BSNUUzyVB1
to continue in my program, i will have to find an additional source of income and/or take out a student loan just so my family can scrape by.
this is why women leave science
not because they want to, but because they don’t always have a choice
we have to do better
woke up feeling motivated to tackle my to-do list but instead have spent the day panicking about how i can’t keep my head afloat financially as a mother and graduate student
(an angry thread)
not paying university semesterly fees or making outrageous childcare payments because you literally DO NOT GET PAID ENOUGH to afford it means that you get a hold on your student account. which prevents registration for classes and leads to academic probation.
General public lecture this week as part of the awesome Science Cafe series hosted by @IGBIllinois. Science and frog pics for scientists and non-scientists alike!
Very excited that our study reporting genetic variation in Pere David’s deer that may impact vulnerability to CWD is out today! https://t.co/sg4JfZdyLY
For too long women in science have been overlooked. It is long overdue for @smithsonian and @stri_panama to fix their toxic culture and pave the way for leading women scientists. #MeToo#WomenInSTEM https://t.co/FjfeG9Un2M @LauraLDunnEsq @BerlinRosen@LLDunnLaw
#BlackInEnto week is here! I'm Lynette Strickland, currently a postdoc at TAMUC-CC, soon to be an @NSF fellow with @UofMemphisBio. I study an amazingly charismatic (and often sparkly) group of insects, called tortoise beetles and I fully enjoy sharing beetle facts! #RollCall
We know that #COVID19 has presented challenges for many working mothers. A recent global survey provides evidence of some of its costs in the research community: mothers suffered a 33% larger drop in research hours compared with fathers. https://t.co/BUeIuX7IFn #WomenInSTEM
