In case you missed it: Women are less likely to be credited for their scientific contributions than men. It’s true across multiple fields & at all stages, with important repercussions for career progress. #WomenInSTEM#WomenInMedicine#MedTwitter

Some may be taken aback by your refusal to downplay your capabilities for their comfort. Please, unapologetically claim your right to shine. Your strength, intelligence, and vision are not negotiable. Boldly occupy space, and continue to use your light to pave the way forward. K?
Kudos to Reviewer #3, who closed w/ this:
"Praise for the authors:
I try to end all of my reviews with areas of the paper I really liked because I know reviews can be hard to read. So here are a few areas of the paper where I thought the writing really shined."

@academic_exit Nope! I feel I get everything I had in academia and more in my position. The culture, work/life balance, and benefits make it all the more enjoyable.
During my PhD I beat myself up for not solving a problem. My husband said,“Your standing on the edge of human knowledge, looking out into the darkness, and upset that you can’t see what know one else has seen before.” This strikes that same cord. https://t.co/dD2NlVDW3b
We're doing a thing! Speakers @HHMINEWS Science Meetings will no longer put journal names on their talk slides.
Instead display first author, year, PMID (or DOI) like @ardemp
Why?
-end prestige-signaling
-people can actually find reference

@hgupta84@AcademicChatter See thread here with an amazing outpouring of scientific mistakes and support for all who had mad them 😁 https://t.co/QnGSvGRCwq
I ahave a 1st year PhD student with imposter syndrome. After some minor mistakes, she is calling herself stupid. She thinks she is the only one making these kind of mistakes. Can I get a list of your stupid (read normal) mistakes to share with her? #phdlife#WomenInScience

Millennial Problem: what to do with the extra set of Harry Potter books between you and your partner? Or are you normal and capable of parting with one of them?
*when the villain in the movie has a PhD*
Viewers without a PhD: Ah, they are just saying he’s a smart villain. Makes sense.
Viewers with a PhD: Ah, grad school and academia drove him to madness. Makes sense.
I really wish the world would let go of the myth that truly talented, visionary, passionate people are all 24/7 laser-focused on their work to the detriment of every other aspect of life and their physical and mental well-being.
