I am currently a grad student in Cell & Molecular Biology. I love science and I especially love showing communities how cool science can be! 🧬🔬

The Graduate Women in Science crew went to Stott Elementary! We taught girls about science by making a “roller coaster” prototype! My group won, even though I can’t seem to fit my face in the selfie...#girlsinscience #gwis #stemgirls #imbadatselfies

1) This paper is super interesting for those interested in cardiovascular development and cilia
2) I LOVE the video abstract. Is this thing? Can we make it a thing?

Nobel Laureate Martin Chalfie once mentioned that during his undergrad he was disappointed he got a C in chemistry. In 2008 he shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for GFP.

I expect to see this in the next season of Grey’s Anatomy.

Ultra-high-field scanners with 10.5-tesla magnets reveal structures of the human brain that were previously unseen and show promise for clinical diagnosis and treatment. https://t.co/ZL2EnMjDKZ

More women in STEM allow for more diverse viewpoints and thus better innovation. This article highlights the historic example of seatbelt design but also more recent features of the Fitbit fitness tracker as examples of this need.

@NoCoGWIS outreach event today with The Winslow retirement community. We loved sharing our science with such an insightful and friendly audience! #scienceforallages

Check out the big salt water tank in the @csubiology building to see these in person! So cool!

Meet the Disco Scallop.
Its proper name is Ctenoides Ales, it is a gorgeous orange colour and has reflective filaments inside that look just like electricity. The scallop is actually flipping this reflective surface over and over giving the impression of electricity.

Possibly my biggest takeaway from this weekend's @ComSciConRMWest: the Request a Woman Scientist feature by @500womensci as an awesome way to find expert sources for #scicomm articles.

I'm happy to see this paper made it to Twitter! Very grateful to be a part of this research during a rotation last year. Nice work Kim Lab!
