Excited and honored my #climate video won the #FlameChallenge! Thank you to @alanalda, @AldaCenter, and the students for watching / voting. The polar bear and penguin are pumped! They're currently taking meetings at the local zoo and working on even more #climatechange awareness. https://t.co/rrQrrdmH5C

@thephysicsgirl Science is often about trying to make progress in the face of repeated failures and setbacks. Talking about things that didn't work out is a good thing. Looking forward to seeing where you go with this!

I'll never forget visiting Normandy. Rows of headstones were set in the best-kept grass I had ever seen. It was an important reminder the memory of the fallen must always be tended, lest we forget the magnitude of their sacrifice, or the freedoms and values they died defending.

Proud that half of today’s 60 new PhD’s in molecular biology are women. Now let’s make sure it stays that way as they climb the academic and biotech hierarchies.

This interview with former lab mate @pyromanticism is worth your time. Wendy is a talented researcher who helped to create a support network for grad students, and is doing important work to promote mental health awareness.

@sciencemagazine @BabettePain interviewed me about mental health in Graduate school. The struggle is real but there IS something you can do about it. https://t.co/KoqOqggTMQ

If you'd like to hear more about my views on science communication, why I made a video about #ClimateChange, the importance of the @AldaCenter #FlameChallenge, and what it's like being a scientist with multiple #RareDiseases, check out this interview: https://t.co/oc6zfGBSKY

Vaccines don't cause autism in dogs either, but like in humans, they do an amazing job preventing disease and death. #dogs #vaccines

Excellent writing and visuals in article from @CornellBirds sounding the alarm on shorebirds. The situation is dire: "Numbers of some species are falling so quickly that many biologists fear an imminent planet-wide wave of extinctions." #birds #extinction
