Wife, mom, scientist. All tweets are my own opinions.

@DerekSeveri @TLowePower Unless I suppose if it was an environmental sample where you could just go back to that location and sample more, but my guess is that's not what you have in mind?

[Elizabeth French, PhD @EA_French]

@DerekSeveri @TLowePower Yeah I'd think if you're waiting on sequencing results before trying to isolate, some form of glycerol and snap freezing is gonna be your main option. I've also seen papers where they plated and then scraped the whole plate into a glycerol stock.

@dr_kozik You're a genius. This might be the only use of two-factor authentificatuon that doesn't make me grumpy

@szintri One of these moments is burned into my grad school memory. @Anjali_IP prefaced going through the review together with tons of encouragement and what I think would be best described as righteous anger over unhelpful, just plain mean review comments.

@blacksciblog Uugggh preach! Every single year of my GRFP (and my husband's F32), they messed up the paperwork, causing us not to get paid. AND because I finished my fellowship right before my maternity leave I wasn't eligible for FMLA bc I had only been a "real" employee for a month🙄

@Ingwell_vegIPM How big is the bin? Also do the flies stay put? (Trying to talk my husband into it 😂)

It's totally appropriate to send your coauthors an email with the Carlton dancing GIF when you get a paper acceptance notice, right? @enders_lab @Kaplan_Lab

@triplettlr Lovely! It was actually like 50 degrees on our Jan wedding day, so we were very happy.

Excited to finally share our collaborative effort to review current and emerging strategies for managing agricultural #microbiomes!

[Plant-Insect Microbiomes Lab @enders_lab]

Interested in emerging strategies for #microbiome management in agroecosystems? Check out our @NaturePlants review! Fun collaboration with @EA_French @Kaplan_Lab @Anjali_IP & Cindy Nakatsu!! https://t.co/Xv8iKV38V6

@phdonastick @PlantTeaching we use GelRed (https://t.co/vfWNHeRiG5) with a BioRad gel imager. Works great, not super $$$ for the dye

@szintri If I had a dollar for every time I've been to a talk where I didn't know the thing that we "probably all knew" 🤣

@Momademia They can be friends with my child who loses his mind whenever he doesn't get to flush

@LadyoftheLeps Well now I am!

Dear @NBCNews -- Everyone that receives the #Covid19 #vaccine will die after receiving it. They don't vaccinate dead people. Your headline conflates non-related events, and stymies public health efforts.

[Elizabeth French, PhD @EA_French]

I'm late to this conversation, but given the week, I want to say I'm so incredibly thankful for my wonderful, brilliant, inspiring female mentors @enders_lab and @Anjali_IP. I hope someday to be able to invest in new scientists the way you two have and continue to invest in me.
