Ph.D. candidate @UMNGeography. Loves trees, water, climate, my kids. Not in that order.

[Dr. Cait S. Kirby (she/her) @caitskirby]

We need more* professors who were "bad" at school.

People who struggled. People who tried to learn 6 different explanations before the aha. People who don't have perfect memories. People who take time to process things. People who got Ds.

Survivorship bias promotes exclusion.

@StefGWalsh @MelissaLucash @drfangirlphd @AcademicChatter I feel this so hard! My 2 yo has just entered her "why?" phase, which seems to be triggered only when I sit to write. With the arrival of #2 this year, I fear my brain will forever be mush.

@RolliEcology There really is nothing more lovely than the vessels of a bur oak 😍

[Stephanie Deppe, PhD @SpaceSciSteph]

Yes hi.

Just a reminder that you are:

- flying around the Sun at 67,000 mph
- whizzing around the galaxy at 450,000 mph
- screaming thru the Universe at 1.3M mph
- a wonderful human whose worth isn't defined by how fast you get from point A to B

Enjoy the journey, friends 💜

Another day, another fellowship rejection.

[Jen Heemstra @jenheemstra]

Sure, we need scientists in academia. But, let’s not forget that:

We need scientists in industry
We need scientists in government
We need scientists in journalism
We need scientists in law
We need scientists in policy
...and so much more!

There is a world beyond academia.

[Kathleen Knight, PhD @KathleenSKnight]

If you bought a rhododendron from WalMart or Rural King in Ohio this spring, please safely dispose of it to save our oak trees!

Spectacular advice for academic writing. I am simultaneously suffering through all these bad writing habits. Here's to breaking them.

[Sean Hoban @seanmhoban]

The President's budget proposes eliminating @US_IMLS, the agency that supports our nation's libraries, museums, gardens & archives. These institutions provide education, skills, & critical community services. Please contact your congressperson about this https://t.co/0anF0pFppn

[Emma Bialecki @emmabialecki]

This especially, but entire thread worth a read and rumination:

A reminder:

[500 Women Scientists @500womensci]

The skills you learn in academia are widely transferable to a huge variety of satisfying, impactful, critical jobs in gov, NP, education, industry, etc. Stop spreading the false narrative that the only way to be successful is to be in academia!!!
