@HannahLebovits @jasoninmia How does one stay sane with so much misinformation being spread and repeated about academics?
Can anyone share a time they were successful in communicating the reality of the situation?
WE NEED MORE SCIENTISTS IN GOVERNMENT
WE NEED MORE FEMALE SCIENTISTS IN GOVERNMENT
WE NEED MORE UNDERREPRESENTED SCIENTISTS IN GOVERNMENT
WE NEED MORE SCIENTISTS IN GOVERNMENT
Attending a fundraiser in #SanDiego for ‘Science Mom’ Nancy Goroff, erstwhile the Chair of @StonyBrookChem, who has resigned in order to run for #Congress. A @uclachem PhD graduate, known to Ken Houk, Nancy could be the first female PhD scientist to enter Congress. $$$$ to Nancy
@Andrew_S_Rosen Not sure I know how to appropriately answer this question but things like DFT, molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics strike me as powerful and useful
@quantumstarfish@ceciliagentle Thank you! How much do you think could be learned by going through a book like this with no immediately relevant course or project being worked on at the same time? What’s a good way to test that you’re understanding the material?
@AcademicChatter I’m David! Currently an undergrad studying chemistry and very interested in attending grad school. I‘m so impressed by how active and helpful academic Twitter is and am hoping to get undergrads everywhere more involved with it!
You may have seen a tweet today saying that there are 500 deaths every two days in the us due to medical errors. If that sounds impossibly high to you...it is.
It's the kind of potentially damaging statistic a serious science communicator would never share without context.
