Heard my grad school friend @JDSchmitty on NPR this morning, talking about the importance of studying how females experience concussions. @UNC_HMSC grads are out there in the world doing awesome work! Way to go, Jules!

@MoyoTilleryDPT @WartburgPrez I definitely need this reminder myself every day. You are doing great work, my friend 😀

A little #MondayMotivaton for anyone who needs it. @WartburgPrez, this quote is still on the whiteboard in our facstaff lounge. I am glad that it is still there.

Active learning has been proven to be more effective than passive learning, but are some active learning activities more effective than others? This article looks at different types of active learning and investigates possible hierarchy: https://t.co/SHZCVKPEeh

[Jen Heemstra @jenheemstra]

Doing great research and being a great mentor are not mutually exclusive, but it matters which we prioritize.

If we prioritize research, great mentoring does not necessarily follow.

If we prioritize mentoring, we empower researchers and great research can be a natural outcome.

Jupiter oversees my work as I write a Specific Aims document. He’s adorable, but not very helpful. 😂 #planetkitties

Burnout isn't due to a lack of motivation. It's caused by a shortage of capacity.

There are more interesting people and projects than hours in the day. The key question isn't whether you have interest. It's whether you have bandwidth.

Enthusiasm is boundless. Time is finite.

When you die, what part of the human body is the last to stop working?

Your pupils....they dilate.

@Cassie_Boness Agree 1000 percent. I had both of my children as a PhD student. They are now 9 and 12. I also had a miscarriage as a PhD student. Planned or unplanned, it does not matter. Support goes a long way indeed. Unkind and insensitive words cut deep.

Never underestimate how powerful your mentorship can be to someone. You could completely change the trajectory of someone’s life. Be kind, be supportive and lift people up. The world needs more of this.

[Simon Sinek @simonsinek]

A mentor is not someone who walks ahead of us and tells us how they did it. A mentor is someone who walks alongside us to guide us on what we can do.

@DrSturg I too am getting less tolerant of folks offering “cheery suggestions for self care.” Maybe those folks could use some cheery suggestions for how to fix the underlying reasons why facstff are feeling worm thin.

Academia is generally lacking in genuine positive feedback. Share some encouragement with someone today and maybe you'll make their day. At the very least, both of you will be happier for it.
