You might have heard about the new test that can detect #COVID19 in 5 min. And, you’ve almost definitely heard about the test that took days to run and that we don’t have enough of. Wondering what makes the difference? Read on.

From data visualization training today:

We are tempted to show ALL of our data, but how many of them are RELEVANT? What are we trying to say?

The more stuff we put on the slides, the more brain power it takes to process.

@Franklinemejia My favorite thing is that you can only get better!

Sure, we need scientists in academia. But, let’s not forget that:

We need scientists in industry
We need scientists in government
We need scientists in journalism
We need scientists in law
We need scientists in policy
...and so much more!

There is a world beyond academia.

@AcademicChatter I usually get so many business cards after conferences. A great way to help you remember is to write a little something about them on the back of the card. Also, don't forget to send them an email after the conference or add them on LinkedIn.

[Yolanda Bonita @BonitaYolo]

@AcademicChatter After the talks/ poster sessions, don't hide in your hotel room. Network, attend social events, and meet as many people as you can! Invite them to your presentation and give them your business cards. This is a great way to make connections in your field!
