Looking forward to my upcoming presentation "All is Fair in Love and Employer Engagement" during this week's GCC Conference 2024! Join me for a great conversation! #2024GCC

[Bri Konnick @BMW5]

Check out this article about the event my colleagues and I recently ran at the @APSphysics March Meeting! Looking forward to applying this framework at future conferences to build stronger connections between industry and @UChicagoPME

[UChicago Pritzker Molecular Engineering @UChicagoPME]

The inaugural @UChicagoPME Industry Networking Night held during the @APSphysics annual conference this year brought PME faculty, PhD students and postdocs together with more than 30 industry figures representing 17 companies.

@VUbretASPIRE Thanks for sharing this!

[Bri Konnick @BMW5]

I did a thing! Thanks for sharing this @UChicagoPME! The job market the past year has been especially hard, and things are changing with recruitment and talent engagement.

If you got a new job in the last year, what is your #1 piece of advice?

When it comes to finding a job in #science, @UChicagoPME Director of Career Development Briana Konnick knows a thing or two. Through recruitment and networking opportunities, Konnick helps prepare grad students and postdocs for employment. @Nature.

We are headed toward 💥1.5 million💥 U.S. daily COVID-19 infections on Christmas Day as we head into a winter #surge.

BUT - Would you like to understand how I arrived at that estimate? Here's a video explaining the PMC case estimation and forecasting models.

There's a big reality gap right now between people who are actively staying on top of COVID research & those who just trust the current guidelines. There's no judgment here, but I'd like to try to communicate the worldview of the former based on what we know about COVID now:

Sneezing while having extreme back pain might just be the worst physical sensation of the year.

Now on our second site visit with @portalinno! @UChicagoPME grad students and postdocs are gaining great insight on the Chicago biotech innovation space from the second career panel with panelists from multiple member companies.

@UChicagoPME grad students and postdocs hear advice and insight from a panel of scientists from @VanquaBio during today’s trek #ChicagoBiotech

So now let’s get rid of affirmative action for the children of alumni and of major donors.

Couldn’t agree more, @SimoneStolzoff! “Intrinsic motivation is a more sustainable fuel source than extrinsic motivation.” #2023GCC @Grad_Careers #values #careerexploration

[Bri Konnick @BMW5]

Excellent ice breaker question for the first keynote during #2023GCC - “if your career had two chapters, what was the page break?” @SimoneStolzoff @Grad_Careers

[Bri Konnick @BMW5]

Why oh why do people scatter when you even hint at breakout rooms lol? Ugh. #careerdevelopment #virtuallearning

[Bri Konnick @BMW5]

@leasterl76 I’ve read both of the series and am a huge fan of the Throne set personally. I like the Crescent City ones too but not quite as much. Either way, happy reading my dear!

[Bri Konnick @BMW5]

Excellent session discussing lip service vs. real action in areas of DEIB during the #2023GCC virtual conference! Thanks @FeminiSteph for leading the conversation! #DEIB #allyship @Grad_Careers

[Bri Konnick @BMW5]

@leasterl76 It is such an excellent series! Have you read the Throne of Glass series by that author yet? Also amazing.

[Bri Konnick @BMW5]

Excellent keynote on supporting Latinx and other marginalized grad student communities to kick things off at the virtual @Grad_Careers conference! #2023GCC
