#AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter I’m a 5th year PhD candidate in Pharmacology looking for manuscript and dissertation writing coaching service. I’ve diligently reach out to my institution (from my advisor all the way to the Dean) for support and I’m not getting what I need.

Would anyone be willing to share CVs they used to apply for academic postdoctoral positions in the biomedical sciences? #askacademictwitter #AcademicTwitter #ScienceTwitter

Being trauma aware in your friendships includes extending grace and compassion for the diminished capacity of those who are overwhelmed even when they don’t say it or look like it.

Just a reminder that we are still in a pandemic and people have invisible loads.

🗣Friends don’t let friends with kids struggle during the #footballseason

If you:
1) are a STEAM kid (or one at heart 😂)
2) have a kid in your life (child, niece/nephew, neighbor, student, etc.)
3) just wanna support me

Retweet to get the word out about @steamkitx

@Meliseymo @mete_civelek To ultimately decide, I sat down with my advisors’ friends who owned a local biotech. We came up with 5 places and he emailed all of them on my behalf. My advisor and I narrowed down the list to Denali Therapeutics, and I have no regrets! Definitely connect with @sonnetseville

[Merci N. Best, PhD, MS @MerciNBest]

@Meliseymo I second @mete_civelek and @sonnetsville tweets. It is definitely possible, but if it does not fit in your schedule/timeline there are now industry postdoc opportunities as well. To find my internship I looked at a list of places previous students went. Also met with one alum.
