When we're communicating with others, we tend to focus on what *we* know. It's more important to think about what *they* know, and even more important to think about what they don't know and need to know.

Answering those questions is the first step to effective communication.

It is such an amazing feeling to have your work recognized :) I'm so grateful for the opportunity to represent my lab @SmythLab, school, and program. Thank you to all the amazing scientists who have helped me come this far.

The thing I enjoy most about my work is being in such an uplifting and positive environment that encourages exploration of novel techniques and approaches 😁

It's #ScientisttSunday!

Q: "The thing I enjoy most about my work is ______"

Reply with your ending to the sentence! Is it the people you meet? The cool equipment you use? Or perhaps the difference your research is making?

Let us know! #AcademicTwitter @AcademicChatter

For the love of #Drosophila, though lots of uncertainty. I have created a google sheet for Molecular probes in #Drosophila for the community. Add yours via this link https://t.co/KpESXOh4GP

We are thrilled that Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared as a surprise guest speaker to share some inspiring words w/ the Class of 2020 at USU's Graduate Education commencement!

When writing a manuscript or research proposal, does anyone else spend a large chunk of their editing time googling synonyms for words like "investigate", "reveal", and "different"?

Hey guys, I'll be doing my virtual Q&A session for #TAGC2020 #TAGC20 poster 1766B "Upregulation of Store Operated Ca2+ Entry pathologically impairs Drosophila cardiac function" today from 12-12:30pm. I'd love to see you there! ❤️ #heartfunction #cellsignalling @SmythLab

@CaitlinLeeSmith It reminds me of BioRixv, the concept is wonderful, but you don't typically receive feedback

[Courtney Petersen @CellSciGal]

@CaitlinLeeSmith That's really interesting, I didn't know that was an option, though it doesn't seem much better lol

[Courtney Petersen @CellSciGal]

@CaitlinLeeSmith I personally had issues where the reviewer very obviously mistook me for another applicant (male), but because of the way the process works we were unable to respond to the reviews

[Courtney Petersen @CellSciGal]

For anyone interested, here are some incredible female scientists I have the pleasure of calling colleagues #USUHS #phdlife @ayaszems
