If you’re choosing a research group to join, pay just as much - if not more - attention to the culture and mentoring style in the group than the research.

You can succeed in lots of research areas or projects, but it’s tough to succeed in an unsupportive environment.

Prospective graduation students: don’t forget to ask about student fees at every institution you’re considering! Programs may be upfront about how much they plan to pay you, but they likely won’t tell you how much of that they expect in return.

Almost there, on our way to identifying the neuronal subtypes controlling behavior in cavefish!
✔️ live GCaMP
✔️ Fixed GCaMP
✔️ Neuorpeptidergic staining
✔️ Accurate registration

Next stop, add live GCaMP activity recording and we will multimap our behaviors! @lovett_barron

[Elias T Lunsford, PhD @ET_Lunsford]

Published! This work was made possible by an awesome collaboration with @LabLiao, @AlexCarlKeene and @alypaz_! To have your paper accepted the week before your PhD defense is a feeling I wish upon every grad student! https://t.co/draov4l8eN

The athletes themselves have stated this was NOT a protest

[SWIMNERD @SwimNerds]

"Female swimmers beaten by transgender athlete stage podium protest at ‘unfair’ result"

Couldn't be further from the truth.

Hey you! Slow down to save wildlife!

Please observe speed limits in the park and watch out for wildlife. If you aren't sure, slow down. Taking precautions and being aware can help keep both wildlife and park visitors safe to #RecreateResponsibly.

@kazukami @tea_francis Mexican black king snakes are so unbearably gorgeous 😭🙏🏽

[Aly @alypaz_]

@jess_carilli @kazukami I love the idea of bio active but for some reason always feel so intimidated by them so I’ve never actually made an attempt to set one up. They’re amazing though (& I suspect totally worth the setup effort)! Good luck w everything!! If it helps, they don’t poop tooo often lol

[Aly @alypaz_]

@kazukami @jess_carilli They’re not high maintenance at all!! If it’s an older lizard that hasn’t been handled it might be defensive though - which isn’t a great first reptile experience. Cheddar approves!!
