Publishing papers is great, but they don't determine your value.

Getting grants can be important, but they don't set your self-worth.

Receiving awards is fun, but they don't replace family and friends.

It's okay to enjoy academic achievements, but remember we are people first.

[Jen Heemstra @jenheemstra]

When generating research ideas, having bad ideas is unavoidable. The important thing to remember is that:

*having bad ideas* does not mean *you are bad at generating ideas*

Most good ideas are the product of lots of bad ideas, and finding the good ones is a skill you can build.

@zeina7abli Looking forward to publish our work together ✌🏻✌🏻

[Walid AlChamaa @WalidAlChamaa]

@zeina7abli @zeina7abli, my teammate and dear friend, it has beed an honor and a privilege to have worked by your side. I will miss our traditional sunset tea breaks and the thought provoking conversations that we engaged in, scientific and otherwise... 😊✌🏻😭

@MKhraiche @aub Thank you so much, sir, for you kind words, endless support, and dedication to the mission of @AUB_Lebanon.
You’ll always be a role model that I look up to.

[Jen Heemstra @jenheemstra]

Whether you're writing a paper or planning a talk, start by asking the questions:
-what does my audience already know?
-what do I want them to know?

Then think about how to craft a story to lead them on a journey between these two points.

[Jen Heemstra @jenheemstra]

The priority in a PhD should be building the student's CV, not the research advisor's. Faculty, it is up to us to make this happen.

[Jen Heemstra @jenheemstra]

We often equate certainty and confidence with great leadership. But, great leaders are those with the humility to admit uncertainty and to be willing to change their mind when presented with new information.

[Jen Heemstra @jenheemstra]

We show what we value with what we reward. I would love to see academia put more focus on rewarding outstanding teaching, mentoring, and DEI efforts. Imagine the difference that could make.

[Jen Heemstra @jenheemstra]

Whether in science or leadership, it’s okay to not have all of the answers. When we’re willing to admit what we don’t know, it frees us to embrace and own what we do know.

I am happy to share our latest paper published in ACS Applied Bio Materials about a novel method of fabricating flexible and bioresorbable neural interface with single-cell resolution.
