Hey y'all, just touched down in Phoenix from 🌧 Seattle. I'm a grad student and am super excited for my first time at #ACNP22! Come swing by my poster if you're interested in opioid withdrawal or knowing what the heck the lateral septum is all about 👀
@BritahnyBaskin @Aqua_Dan1 @AcademicChatter This! Also for what it's worth imo it's very unlikely you find the one ™️ project as a PhD student. More likely you develop that during your career as a scientist
A Missouri woman whose water broke at 17 weeks, whose fetus was dying inside of her and threatening her life, was denied an abortion. She called a GOP state senator to beg for help getting around the law, and he sent her to an anti-abortion center. https://t.co/gKPJmflhYK
Like you, I saw the headline "sentient neurons in a dish learn how to play pong" 🤯 Then I read the actual paper. Guess what? I don't like it! 1/ https://t.co/oe7McyHroD
So excited to have this finally out! Our SIP system is open source and allows for group housed rodents to self-administer multiple substances with continuous monitoring and measurement. Great work by Katrina Wong Christina Wang @mcpatarino@BritahnyBaskin and Janet Lee!!!
239 Days. That’s how long #BrittneyGriner has sat in a Russian prison. And for what? Possessing a psychoactive substance. She didn’t harm anyone. She certainly didn’t initiate a war in which countless ppl were killed. Yet, she remains incarcerated. What the f**K is wrong with us?

@bita137 If reviewers start to demand to know the sex of experimenters for future studies then they are missing the point entirely IMHO; it should not be surprisingly that we are ignorant of variables that could be controlled or which may require trouble shooting
I wish it were true that only pursuing your work with integrity and determination made a career possible. Unfortunately it seems that awards are necessary for just getting your foot in the door and for making progress as an academic
@BritahnyBaskin Not at all! just the Twitter tropes that seem to be inundating my feed recently 😮💨 I think you actually walk the walk and push people to take care of themselves
Academics will be like "take time off to take care of yourself!" and then humble brag self-deprecatingly like "whoa just finished submitting 28 publications and 6 job apps what's wrong with me ha ha"
