Incredible tribute to phospholipids

Why has nobody ever told me that woodchuck’s have lil soft, fluffy tails? Is this why we’re obsessed with groundhog’s day? Because I GET IT

A mechanical engineering professor brought his family in to see his lab and I overheard his son say “I just want to see something break” and his mom respond “that’s the point” 😂

When your advisor starts asking about your research progress in a completely non-threatening, non-judgmental, and supportive way

Elmo is just checking in! How is everybody doing?

Wading into this water bottle debate as a cancer doctor. There has been a striking increase in #coloncancer in people under age 50. When you see an abrupt change like this by generation, it always raises concern for an environmental cause. #MedTwitter https://t.co/whDtW0qwwZ

What the hoot are you looking at 🦉

Oh wait, it's #NationalBirdDay! Despite its name, the great horned owl doesn’t actually have horns. Instead, it has tufts of feathers on either side of its head, which resemble horns or ears.

SURPRISE!
Here's a #2024MMM #CombatantReveal in honor of #NationalBirdDay!
Behold the gorgeous Nicobar Pigeon!!

I tell my lab "Harvard" means three distinct things: a fictional place movie characters go as a shorthand, a metonym for elitism in academia and society more broadly, and a real school with holes in the walls. And generally the sooner people learn they're at the third, the better

[Supraja Varadarajan @suprajagv]

First day in my dream job! The Varadarajan Lab is officially open. Not sure what I should be doing first but I am so excited to be here.

Quick note on the latest tweet:

- we’re all good everyone: having the twins was our choice (well one was a surprise), and we were prepared.

But a lot of people aren’t, and this is a hard decision (stopping work) that falls too often on women.

Just pointing it out.

Again.

No. Just no. First gen is NOT when you’re first in your family to get a PhD. It gets so tiring seeing people claim barriers that then erase the incredibly significant barriers some of us actually faced.

[Heather Snell, PhD @HeatherDSnell]

I have this conversation like once a week now and it is such a dopamine booster:

Person: Hey heard you're leaving soon! Where are you going?

Me: Oh yeah, I start at Yale in Jan! I'm very excited!

Person: Oh cool! Whose lab?

Me:😏 Mine.

I woke up from a dream about hydrology class and yelled “little q is big Q over A!” and then fell back asleep, but not before waking up the dog and my partner 😂

You know what we don’t talk about enough in STEM?

Having a favorite Greek letter.

Like, lambda λ is my emotional support variable

#BlackInNeuroWeek! I'm Heather. Starting as an Assistant Prof at Yale School of Medicine in Jan 2024! I'm fascinated by Purkinje cells, calcium channel mutations, the cerebellum, and their role in motor and non-motor dysfunction such as ataxia and autism!#BlackinNeuroRollCall
