Many of us are academic researchers for the love of discovery, knowledge, education, and academic freedom. You can be successful by following the data & being a creative thinker. The Twitter echo chamber can be a downer; it’s not a complete rep. of the scientific community.

Realizing that I actually need more self-discipline to rest effectively than to work effectively.

I’m still learning how to put away anxiety over the to-do list and let go of worries about the day or week ahead. But, the effort required to practice and master this is worth it.

When you are grilling and having fun, but still see coronal sections...

Being rigorous does not have to mean being cruel.

We can have high standards, and then support and encourage people as they work to achieve them.

We can ask tough questions, and do so in a way that helps people showcase their knowledge and grow their communication skills.

Research is like 70% just reading for hours so you can add a citation to a sentence.

Yay for nontraditional students 💜

[Kathleen Beeson, PhD 🧠✨🔬 @kathleen_beeson]

I'm about to graduate w a PhD in Neuroscience, & start a postdoc at Harvard.

Since it's graduate admission season, this goes out to all "nontraditional students," & the mentors who have taken their chances & given me opportunity.

My journey, briefly:

Research entails delayed rewards. Not every experiment is successful. Not every idea is useful. Not every day is productive. Celebrate every little step: an idea here, and a paper submission there. All make the journey.

If you do not pick a day to relax, your body will pick it for you.

[Kunjumon Vadakkan @KunjVadakkan]

We must be willing to occasionally zoom out of the research that we are doing & see where we fit in the whole picture of science that includes all its different disciplines. This will give us some direction to our future work.

[Jen Heemstra @jenheemstra]

The ability to change your mind about something is a sign of strength, not weakness. It shows that you value getting it right over looking right.
