Thank you @ApplewhiteDerek for sharing this personal and honest account. Indeed we need stark changes in academic culture, we not only need diversity, we also need inclusion, and a sense of belonging. @harvardmpa1@academicvoices@VoicesofIndAcad

So looking forward to chatting with @mayank_mchugh , today at 5PM Pacific, about his work in the lab to study development and his side hustle to bring together arts/humanities and STEM #ASpaceforScience
Need info about 1)equitable models of compensation for DEI fellows in academia (mostly postdoc level)
2) DEI program structure/time commitment which involves compensation.
🙏 for any leads. @NeedhiBhalla@jessicapolka @RhythmicSpikes @polybiotique@EyeDaisyShu @I_Vinodh
As we are bridging #BHM & women history month, I started re-reading #ToniMorrison She’s an inspiration and a powerhouse. How about we celebrate #WHM by reading women writers? Let’s empower! Retweet, tag a person, and share whatcha reading. #WomensHistoryMonth@AaronJonScott
The men:women ratio at MoU series I + II is 17:0 @iitroorkee@iiscbangalore@biaswatchindia@labhopping
It's rather disgraceful. It is literally going back to the 1800s. This particular series reminds me of 80 women astronomers in 1880s who were reduced to mere computers. 1/3
I might be at earlier stage of my postdoc but I started my scientific career as a BS student with @LolitikaMandal who had just started her lab and I’ve seen first hand how daunting it all can be. 1/n
Second part of my PhD work has officially come out! We have found how different mechanical factors in the cells cooperate to perform a 'proofreading' process for correct cell-cell bindings. Thanks for the tremendous support from my PI @TimESaunders

New on the Node: Back to bench is resetting my mental clock
@mayank_mchugh, a postdoc with Sean Megason @Harvard, shares his experience of getting back to his recently-joined lab after a difficult time in lockdown

First confocal image from my postdoc! That feeling of looking into a living organism through the objective and realising, gosh development is beautiful! Here’s zebrafish eye!

An exciting finding from my former lab. Animal kinesin-1 take 4-nm steps. Time to revise the stepping model? They designed & used ultraresolution Germanium nanospheres to track motor steps. #bioRxiv#biophysics@ZMBP_Tuebingen @MPI_for_DB

Proud of my friend @BrummSabine. This incredible work got through after more than an year of struggle. And publishing is the heart of what we do.
Yes, that's exactly why we need change! @ASAPbio_@ZMBP_Tuebingen#AcademicTwitter
