Hello everyone! I’m Jana Grcevich, and I’m excited to be your astrotweep this week! I was particularly interested in taking over astrotweeps because I’m not on the “typical” academic path. My path in astronomy has been…winding. 1/N

Question for the twittersphere: do you know of people who have taken time off after getting their PhD and then returned to science/academia? I'm personally more familiar with gap years after undergrad 🤔

[Kat Feng @cloudfreekat]

This quarter I’m taking an awesome science communication for scientists class with @Erika_Check! Today @meghas visited and spoke about transitioning from a PhD to science journalism.
