Very excited for my former mentor! He set the standard for people I want to work under-- always supportive of my extra-lab pursuits, which has lead to a wonderful career now. Congrats, Joe!

It's official. I was awarded tenure and promotion at @Baylor. Many thanks to my family, supportive colleagues, outstanding pair of first graduate students (@ScienceKeighley and Kelsey), and past mentors (@SenduraiMani and Shelley), plus @CPRITTexas and @SusanGKomen for funding!

@LabTaube @Baylor @SenduraiMani @CPRITTexas @SusanGKomen Congrats, Joe! Never a doubt!

This department mistreats its trainees through ignorant and abusive leadership. This cannot continue. #AcademicChatter

[Dr. Kerri J. Smith 🐳👩🏼‍🔬 @ScienceGirl_KJS]

Today is #WomeninScienceDay, and my former dept head just asked me if I would be ok being removed as a coauthor from a paper I worked on for more than a year. With the ongoing discussions about academic misconduct and abuse, I feel it's the right time to share my experience.

The academic urge to upend your day by hyping your colleagues once you hear about their posted dissertation defense date

Congrats to all the soon-to-be-doctors! I love to see it! #PhD #PhDLife #AcademicChatter

It's like a TV running for 300 years. It's the entire capacity of the human brain. It's The Cancer Genome Atlas. Started in 2006, TCGA contains massive amounts of data that characterize more than 20,000 cancers. And, even better? It's public. #WhatScienceCanDo #Cancer @theNCI

The semester is halfway done. Students, say something nice to your teachers— they need the lift. Teachers, grant your students that pass— we all could use a little break. #Academia #HigherEd #Kindness

For past 18 mths, my personal Covid choices (very cautious) were driven by prospects of ⬇risk in future, mostly via vaccines.
My current view is that we're nearing a new normal, at least for next few yrs. It drives me to choices on travel, dining, etc that feel right, long-term.

#MutationMonday bringing you the granddaddy of cancer mutations: TP53. This tumor suppressor gene is mutated in 50-60% of human cancers. Most of the mutations in the pathway are in a very short span—so why the hotspot of mutations? Pop over to our other socials for the details.

[Iylon @IylonOncology]

NGS... Natural Gas Service? New Green Solutions? Nope! Next-Generation Sequencing. This is the tech that helps precision oncologist find treatable cancer-causing mutations. To hear about how it works, check out our post on our other socials! @NextGenSequence #Technique

This is #GraphicDesign #SciComm at it's finest. Also notice which cells look like they're "winning" in each panel. You can't convince me design choices don't matter. They tell the story for you; be mindful of what they're saying on their own!

[@IAmSciComm - On a Break! @iamscicomm]

Be cautious that different color 'temperatures' (warm or cool) can quickly suggest who the 'hero' or 'villain' of your story is, whether intentional or not!🌡🎨 (notice how this cancer cell looks way more invasive in the right image)

2/2 ... before fickle gods — gods who, it turns out, are mostly teens vested with powers divine by our administration. We beg teens... please not to kill us. Some of them oblige. Some do not — an alarming number do not. The university’s response so far amounts to: Beg better."

Amy Olderbing writes so movingly in the Chronicle about what we as instructors are feeling: "[W]e offer up our vulnerable loved ones, our bereavements, or our own medical histories like sacrifices... 1/2

[Keighley Reisenauer, PhD @ScienceKeighley]

I’m requiring masks in my office. I made a door sign that features avocados. I feel good about this decision.

#Commencement is live streamed! I so appreciate the support that has come in from all across the country and would love to extend the invite to tune in

The ceremony begins 9:30am CST on Saturday 8/14. Find the link and more information at https://t.co/FdIqrzWYsG #graduation

It was like pulling teeth 😅

[Raven Baxter, Ph.D. @ravenscimaven]

I honestly want to know if anyone has ever defended their dissertation then gave up during the revisions process

[Keighley Reisenauer, PhD @ScienceKeighley]

Writing syllabi is actually super hard and my perfectionist is *screaming*
