"Gary McDowell, Misty Heggeness and colleagues present census data showing how the biomedical workforce is fundamentally different to those of past generations – academia should study the trends, and adapt." https://t.co/tbQt6IYkWO
@Teens_Tics_Tech Congratulations! It's called "impostor syndrome" - and sometimes it never goes away, you just have to get used to 'faking it' - just remember there's many many people (even famous scientists) who feel the same way :)
Thanks to @PostdocsUMN@YSciDiplomats@FORsymp @WUSTLPostdoc for the follows! any other grad student / postdoc associations, happy to retweet info / share thoughts on common issues facing grad students & postdocs looking at non-tenure track careers. Slack: https://t.co/ahvx0GuXt8
Just saw another thread about academic committees attempted slack not being able to be formed due to resistance to "new fangled technology"... maybe in 5 years just kick everyone in @mid_career_PI to Old_PI_Slack and then bump all @NewPI_Slack there ;) https://t.co/6844gCyqZu
@srchiose@UofT Thanks @srchiose very interesting. We've just created a slack channel for any PhD candidates, postdocs, and anyone else currently in (or planning to pursue) "alternative careers" for PhD graduates. Invite link here: https://t.co/ahvx0GuXt8
Woot! Join us! there's no free pizza (always a draw for current and former grad students everywhere), but otherwise it's pretty fun :) https://t.co/iHSZqIlHVw
Any #ASHGtrainee interested in connecting with other non-academia bound PhDs check out @PhDCareer_Slack. Anyone interested in staying in academia check out @FuturePI_Slack. Great community and resources. https://t.co/p0XaTpObWd
Any PhD students, postdoctoral associates, or staff scientists / core managers / other alternative career scientists, feel free to join us to discuss the "alternative career tracks" that roughly 80+% of us will follow! #AcademicTwitter#phdlife#phdchat https://t.co/ahvx0GuXt8
@KidneyMyosin@NewPI_Slack@Mid_Career_PI There needs to be a StaffScientist_Slack or AlternativePhDCareers_Slack - I'm "too far along in my career" to be on @FuturePI_Slack but I'm not a @NewPI_Slack as I'm a core facility manager / research associate. For the 80% of us that don't get faculty positions.
@NewPI_Slack@KidneyMyosin@Mid_Career_PI@FuturePI_Slack LoL, didn't realize that was an option! OK then, please send invite link to any staff scientists, core managers, lost and forlon PhDs looking for that elusive alternative career track - https://t.co/kGT56ZOREI - send us your lost, huddled masses, yearning for a brighter future :)

@NewPI_Slack@KidneyMyosin@Mid_Career_PI@FuturePI_Slack There's also a Twitter account @PhDCareer_Slack that could use some volunteers to help populate :) e-mail AltPhDCareers at Gmail dot com and can share any relevant logins... Otherwise I'll get to it in my copious spare time (/sarcasm :P )
