I have been long-awaiting a TOC graphic as legendary as this.

2 years ago today I got told by a professor that I was "a bad investment for any PI". I'm STILL dealing with the emotional damage from that as I'm sitting here TWO YEARS LATER.

Please, IDC WHY you would want to, but don't ever say things like that to grad students, period.

Τυχερός παντως ένας φοιτητής της νομικής που κυκλοφορούσε με τσεκούρι στα 80s.
Δεν υπήρχε πανεπιστημιακη αστυνομία τότε για να τονε συλλάβει

If anyone wants to talk about entitlement, cops should probably be top of the list.

..when I finish this project
..when I submit that paper
..when I get this degree
..when I complete this task
..when I climb that ladder
..when I win this award

The list is endless and the future is always busy.

Don't forget to live now.

Μιλάμε πλέον για παράδεισο. Μια χώρα με φτώχεια, ακρίβεια, διαφθορά παντού και μπάτσους να δέρνουν φοιτητές. Δεν μπορώ να σκεφτώ πιο ελκυστικό προορισμό για επιστήμονες.

@JeronymoBoss2 How it started:
"Πολλές και Καλές Δουλειές για τη Μεσαία Τάξη"

How it' s going:
"Κακοπληρωμένες Δουλειές κι χωρίς Εργασιακά Δικαιώματα για Υψηλής Εξειδίκευσης Προσωπικό της Μεσαίας Τάξης"

Θαύμα Μωϋσή!

Issue 14 of @InorgChem (https://t.co/WEGQ52cZ2p) is special! In addition to featuring a great set of articles, it presents virtual issue celebrating LGBTQIAPN+ inorganic chemists, with an editorial featuring their voices https://t.co/GSq60LObOE. Thanks to @abhikghosh for leading!

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

"I suffered, therefore you must suffer, too" is such an odd mindset to carry through life.

I hear it all the time when people defend unpaid internships, awful entry-level jobs, student debt, etc.

Whatever happened to wanting the next generation to have it better than you did?

Is this a joke?? “The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at UCLA seeks applications for an Assistant Adjunct Professor on a without salary basis. Applicants must understand there will be no compensation for this position.” https://t.co/c8441PX7r3
