@LisaMariaN91 This is a red flag. Run away. It’s true that science sometimes requires weekend or evenings, but they shouldn’t be mandatory. That’s a PI that has no interest in prioritizing work-life balance.

@beachton @_hannahem_ The only exception to the sold-a-hand-knit curse would be if the knitter themselves sold it because it didn’t quite come out the way they wanted and they couldn’t bear to take it back apart after all that work!

PSA for all my science friends: CVs are not resumés, and resumés are not more than 1-2 pages. Know which one you’re applying to a job with! #TheMoreYouKnow

@LynnSosnoskie One more anecdotal data point: I had severe muscle cramps, headaches, and intense waves of fatigue for 3 days after the first Pfizer dose. Then almost no symptoms after my second dose last Friday. So not everyone follows the trend with worse after the second!

Hey @planetmoney, I think episode No. 838 on #brushing is due for an update about the seeds being investigated by the @USDA_APHIS this week! #npr #educatethepeople

[Dr. Rachel Egger @RachelEgger]

I've been staying off twitter, but I've returned just to tweet @planetmoney how much I love their recent episodes! I first started listening way back in 2008 when they would do a daily update about the economy, and lots of the recent episodes have that vibe! #keepthemcoming #NPR

So what are these siren siRNAs doing? That’s a story for another day! The parallels with piRNAs and tapetum-specific phasiRNAs are intriguing. We’re also fascinated with how this specific expression pattern is established. There are lots of interesting new questions! /15

@rm0sher Henceforth, all new publications should be accompanied by a tweetorial! #SciComm

@szintri It depends on the company...I’ve worked places that did it both ways.

@BerondaM just challenged plant biologists at #PlantBio19 to treat #mentorship as environmental stewardship. This is important at all levels of science. Thank you for preaching the good word!

Off the plane and into a plant-y wonderland! #PlantBio19
