I wrote a behind the paper blog as an introduction to our latest paper out @NatureComms ! I even made a fun figure to go with it!
Check out the blog (https://t.co/g3wP4ZycoR) and the paper (https://t.co/HYTzoWG0aH) and the figure below! #scicomm #science #research

@ViralCarmichael @ZJAyres I feel like that's a nice way to summarize the problem. If it was written/marketed as forbidden romance it would be better since its at least partially addressing the problem of power dynamics. Instead its written/marketed as cute

So I rant about how bad a premise this book is a lot but don't usually have these stats to back it up. Read it if you like but I really don't think fake dating a professor - who is known as a jerk to his students according to the synopsis - is something to romanticize/glorify

"The science is abundantly clear: More guns do not stop crime. Guns kill more children each year than auto accidents. More children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active military members." https://t.co/59pUFkQSQg

I don't criticize academia because I can't handle academia.

I criticize academia because I expected a lot more from academia.

I can't tell you how many times I've asked, "Is this it? Why is there so much hype?"

[Sanjee Baksh @S__Baksh]

i've said this before but the current PI-centric structure of academia/funding and tenure facilitates the creation of "lone geniuses" who feel entitled to abuse and exploit their trainees.

[Student Researchers United-UAW @sruuaw]

Student researchers, postdocs and TAs are rallying together at UCSD today to demand respect and dignity from our employer ✊

[Dr. Julia Derk @DerktasticJulia]

Had so much fun highlighting some of my fav women in science! I couldn't possibly do them all. Who is your fav and who do you wish I'd included?

[Berkeley Science Review @BerkeleySciRev]

@NASA @HiddenFigures @KaydrenOrcutt @Cal On #InternationalWomenInScienceDay we celebrate #Hollywood legend Hedy Lamarr: #inventor, #scientist and #actor. Her work has brought us critical tools like #bluetooth and #GPS.

[Berkeley Science Review @BerkeleySciRev]

@NASA @HiddenFigures @KaydrenOrcutt @Cal You may know this next #scientist and #astronaut Dr. Ellen Ochoa, @Astro_Ellen! A #WomenInScience of many talents, Dr. Ochoa is a classical #musician, and former #director of the @NASA_Johnson.

[Berkeley Science Review @BerkeleySciRev]

Our next #scientist was the first woman #engineer @LockheedMartin. A member of the #Cherokee Nation, Ross worked hard to recruit young #women and #NativeAmerican youth into engineering careers.

[Berkeley Science Review @BerkeleySciRev]

@NASA @HiddenFigures @KaydrenOrcutt @Cal Next up is #biochemist Dr. Marie Maynard Daly, a woman of many firsts! Her programs are the reason why many #WomenInScience are able to pursue #gradschool today.

About a year ago, after a wild year and a half, I began writing an article about my qualifying exam experience. I am so nervous and so proud to share with you all my story below.... 2/3

Glad to work on this infographic series for #internationaldayofwomeninscience !! There were so many women to choose from but I thought I would share some of my favs, starting with Katherine Johnson 🧮🚀🌕

[Berkeley Science Review @BerkeleySciRev]

The series kicks off featuring @NASA #scientist and #mathematician Katherine Johnson. You may recognize her name from the 2016 film @HiddenFigures!

[Kaydren Orcutt @KaydrenOrcutt]

Had a lot of fun talking with Chris! Check out the interview!

[QB3-Berkeley @QB3Berkeley]

Read an excellent article/interview with Dr. Ring, by UCB PhD student (and science communicator/illustrator) @KaydrenOrcutt. Chris discusses the decision to go to law school and her career at the interface of business, science, and legal in biotechnology https://t.co/FR5BAPZtF8
