It’s my favorite time of the year: art show season! Please join me and the @FletcherLab_UCB in an evening of art on Friday May 6 @ 5pm in the Stanley Hall atrium. All art contributions encouraged and welcomed. Flyer credit to @CaitlinCornell6

We would like to invite everybody to our annual Art Show on May 6th, 2022. We are encouraging everyone to submit a piece of art (scientifically related or not), please help us spread the word! @UCBerkeley @QB3Berkeley @BerkeleyBioE @UCB_Biophysics

Let's try this, @FletcherLab_UCB

[Dr. Liana Lareau @lianafaye]

We did a really successful exercise in lab meeting:

1. Write the title of a paper you hope you’ll be able to publish from your research.
2. Find a buddy.
3. Write the title of a paper you think they will publish.
4. Compare. Discuss. Share with us.

Calling all East Bay scientists - artists!

It's past time for @UofCalifornia and @UCPrezDrake to recognize our union. The votes are in. We are ready to strike.

[Student Researchers United-UAW @sruuaw]

BREAKING - 10,890 SRs voted in our Strike Authorization Vote, and 97.5% of them voted yes. @UCPrezDrake and @UofCalifornia, are you paying attention?

[Jessie R. Liu @jessierliu]

with arguments as fundamentally incorrect and unsupported as these, UC wouldn't even be able to get a fellowshi--

sorry my bad, i mean a "gift" 🤡📉

Excited to host @senjutisaha for the 2nd Annual Student Led Seminar on behalf of @BerkeleyBioE, @UCSF_BioE, and @BioE_Beast. Dr. Saha will be sharing her work on tackling pediatric infections in low resource settings. Thanks to my co-organizer @kamofa_22

also I am no longer going to refer to myself or anyone else as a “tireless” advocate or a “tireless” anything. Everyone get tired. glorifying tirelessness leads to burnout.

[Amanda Isabel Meriwether @amerimanda]

Oof this thread hits hard. These days I do my best to focus my energies on service work that I am qualified to perform (even though I do not get paid to do it), but it still hurts to think of all the unpaid labor during my higher ed career.

[Amanda Isabel Meriwether @amerimanda]

Congratulations @StachowiakLab!

[Texas BME @UTBiomedical]

Congratulations to Jeanne Stachowiak on receiving an @NIH R35 Grant to Study Protein Networks as Drivers of Cellular Membrane Remodeling, research that will provide more insights into human disease. https://t.co/yW25UHtwoC

@pcr_guy We do in the Fletcher Lab! Also added a mid-year State of the Lab, which was a good check-in during pandemic times.
