To parents entertaining kids during social distancing and quarantine: IF YOU KEEP THEM ALIVE THAT IS SUFFICIENT. Don't feel guilty if you're not enriching their souls, teaching them kumihimo & sign language & engaging their spirits. Toss them some fish sticks; they'll be fine.

I recently participated in my first PhD interview weekend as a new faculty member. Here are my 5 reflections on the PhD recruitment process from a junior faculty perspective: https://t.co/awf8DHOzla

Best of luck to those still interviewing! #phdchat #phdlife #AcademicChatter

I sometimes hear PIs say "I only take students with top GPA's because they'll be the best at research."

I think that needlessly bars experiential learners from opportunities where they could excel, and reinforces that students' worth are keyed to their grades. #AcademicChatter

PhD apps: "we'd like you to tell us your life story, intergenerational trauma, the scholarship you've done in the last 10 yrs, why you're a great fit for this program, who you'd like to work with & how their work intersects with yours in 1 line of iambic pentameter."

Today I heard someone say “Yeah my dad did his postdoc with them.” And I almost lost my mind. You people have parents with PhDs and they’ve done postdocs?!? My parents have no idea what a PhD is and watchedThe Big Bang Theory to try and understand.

@neurorican1 @fly_crimson No puedo 😭
