@MargaretLByron @StaplesLabFluid @KakaniKatija @lam9 I was just looking for a new hobby haha! But if anyone actually wants to work on these, I’m happy to help with experiments and field work as a volunteer-vacationer :)

So this is how my #corals and #jellyfish felt like during PIV experiments (visited @nxtmuseum today)

Encourage PhDs to conduct informational interviews to research career options. Talking with other professionals can help them establish what positions they like, what they can do, and what people will pay them for.

Looks like 2021 just asked 2020 to hold its beer...

[Julia Samson @juliaesamson]

Always a nice surprise to hear #scientists and #research groups I know/have worked with talk about their work on #podcasts :)

@Radiolab and @CollectiveBehav https://t.co/7VS1psrK6H

@Freakonomics and @_SMRU_'s Peter Tyack https://t.co/veNyPgUp47

@KakaniKatija @SMB_MathBiology Thanks :)

[Julia Samson @juliaesamson]

The last two papers of my #PhD just got accepted in @SMB_MathBiology's Bulletin of Mathematical Biology :) They will soon be online so stay tuned!

I guess this officially marks the end of my time in #academia

@KakaniKatija @SMB_MathBiology I did 8 months of postdoc in Germany then switched to consulting in Amsterdam a year ago. Really enjoying the work and the learning :) hope all is well at MBARI!

Since we can't #travel rn, here's a great @Radiolab #podcast about animal migration and how scientists are studying it, including two professors I know 😀 @martinwikelski (@animaltracking) and Ken Lohmann (@UNC_Biology)

One positive thing this #confinement might bring us is a sharpened sense of the natural world. By tuning down human activity, we can now see and hear so much more of the world around us. This @NPRinvisibilia #podcast is a treat to listen to https://t.co/H4C0zuAdFy

No #travel plans anytime soon so I’m getting into #timetravel 🙂

5 hours with my new #plants Amazing how fast they grow!

In this #coronatime, let’s rediscover other ways to travel: #books #conversation #movies #daydreaming...

@SergioMSamson Zo 1 2 3 niet, zou wat meer info moeten hebben

[Julia Samson @juliaesamson]

Heb deze mini moestuintjes van @albertheijn jarenlang bewaard. De komende maanden worden ze mijn nieuwe thuiswerkcollega’s. Beste spaaractie ooit: leuk, nuttig en duurzaam. Graag nog een keer!

However, I can't help but think that the ways young researchers are left in the dark about their funding is not OK. They should be treated better than this and funding agencies need to do better than this. (4/4)

Last week, I received an email from @MSCActions informing me my fellowship proposal had been rejected. I submitted my proposal back in September 2018, almost 1.5 year ago… Despite my high score, I ended on the waiting list. (1/4)

[Julia Samson @juliaesamson]

In the mean time, I decided to look for a career with better opportunities and resources, and embarked on an awesome new professional adventure. (3/4)
