Today I learned "costliest" is a real word and it just feels wrong.

Thanks Waterloo library for sharing this list of books to read to start my journey of reflection and learning about the part of Canada's history that was glossed over in school. #NDTR2022

Thanks @Rogers for giving us a day to reflect on our relationship with internet and call service. It's like Earth Day but we can't call 911, contact our loved ones, or pay for anything. See y'all at the next one!

Happy Pride Month! Made my fav rainbow dessert for my colleagues at @UWVelocity. Rainbow jello with only 4 colours because I didn't have enough time for more 🌈 Here's to making workplaces safe and inclusive for all!

[Dr. Samantha Cheung @Sam_Cheung_]

My first ever work anniversary! Thanks @thealttex for the cake and the opportunity to do sustainable bio research! 🌏👕🦠

[Dr. Samantha Cheung @Sam_Cheung_]

Interested in growing algal biofilms for commodity products? My latest open-source paper discusses how we can (and cannot) control the composition of non-sterile mixed-species algal biofilms. https://t.co/YLn0xW1InV

Happy convocation day to all the @uoftengineering grads (including me!). I'm honoured to have delivered the congratulatory messages with @UofTEngDean during the virtual ceremony and have this awesome pic of me and my #algae coloured thesis! ❤️🦠

[Dr. Courtney Leisner @cpleisner]

RT! 🌱 My group has some new projects starting and the lab needs to grow! Want to work on climate change impacts on plants? Do physiology, bioinformatics, and/or molecular biology? In the field or growth chamber? Email me if interested for grad or postdoc positions 🌱

The 76th United Nations General Assembly has already started! The positive progress on the Sustainable Development Goals has been reduced by COVID, so we have to work together that much more to get back on track. First livestream: https://t.co/n0owMtbxSm

@OpenAcademics Anyone have recommendations for free process design tools for visualizing workflows and engineering processes? #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

[Dr. Samantha Cheung @Sam_Cheung_]

@KirkwoodLab A tricky question indeed! Based on this discussion, what is the best definition of "algae"?
People keep asking me but I never know the answer 😅

[Dr. Samantha Cheung @Sam_Cheung_]

That virtual PhD defense look: business on top, pajamas on the bottom, and @BillNye socks for the inspiration.

[Dr. Samantha Cheung @Sam_Cheung_]

Changing my name to Dr. Cheung because I want to normalize sharing your achievements without criticism. I'm an Asian woman, I finished my PhD, I work in research, and I'm PROUD! #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter
