Bravo! Necesitamos mas mujeres en posiciones de liderazgo, que cambien el discurso, y que beneficien a la comunidad completa.

To anyone who was still wondering whether @elonMusk had a political agenda behind his twitter purchase..... well:

#bayesianUpdating #proveMeWrong

[Patricia Salerno @patitepui]

I'll still be around, watching the #elonShow, and hoping that the mass exodus somehow stops and we avoid this massive community loss and fracture that seems to be underway.... hugs to all that read this

[Patricia Salerno @patitepui]

Now, because of the #elonShow, we are in the process of losing a community and a means to connect with so many others. I hope at some point I join and rebuild something similar to this, but for now, thank you SO MUCH for all you have given me, and sorry I didn't give more ❤️❤️

Despite not having actively participated much in recent years, the #academicTwitter community was also incredible for finding cool jobs, papers, people.

[Patricia Salerno @patitepui]

Welp, I'm coming out in case it all dissapears. Thanks to the twitter community, I discovered I was #actuallyautistic, I was able to get through a chronic mysterious illness #NEISVoid and I was able to follow news of my home country whenever media went dark #Venezuela

[Patricia Salerno @patitepui]

The twitter community (not the platform) gave me context, life, reason, and direction. And without it, I have no doubt many parts of me would not be here today. I am a better and happier person because of this community.

A very nice article, and an outstanding collaborative team! Thank you Nick for the great lead on this article, which explores hunting effects on viral transmission among pumas in the wild, using both viral and host genomics and modelling.

[Nick Fountain-Jones @nfountainjones]

We made the front cover of Nature Ecology and Evolution! Read about how puma M87 and others were involved in the transmission of a retrovirus (and how hunting may have played a role). https://t.co/XKJ9eDVpPz

La diversidad - biologica, genetica, cultural, individual, de pensamiento - es clave del exito y progreso de cualquier sociedad y poblacion. Por ello, es fundamental que ninguna institucion (sobre todo academica) obligue a sus empleados a ir a misa. Respetemos la fe individual.

Some of the reasons why academia in latin america is so far behind compared to other regions: complete lack of planning, constant improvisation, and no respect for others' schedules and time. The culture needs to change, and it starts with us.

[Patricia Salerno @patitepui]

Algunas razones por la que la academia en latinoamerica esta muy atrasada en comparacion con otras regiones: ningun tipo de planificacion, improvisacion constante, y ningun respeto por los horarios y tiempos de los demas. Hay que cambiar la cultura, y eso empieza por nosotros

"Only" took five hours of my day to clear up space on my computer and install the new OS update.... yikes! Back to work, I guess #academicAdulting

[Patricia Salerno @patitepui]

Mas alla de orgullosa del Ingeniero Alex! Gran honor haber sido su tutora. No le pierdan de vista que seguira teniendo grandes logros.

[Ikiam @u_ikiam]

#SomosIkiam | #Ikiam presenta al nuevo Ingeniero en #Biotecnología, @Alex78714140. Su trabajo de investigación se centró en el descubrimiento de péptidos antimicrobianos, los resultados permitirán el diseño de fármacos en contra de patógenos multirresistentes.

[Patricia Salerno @patitepui]

Sera posible que no exista ni una persona en #ecuador que le parezca que pedir cosas o agendar reuniones en menos de 24-48 horas es un abuso?!?! con razon no se avanza... como se puede si nadie planifica?

Alguien mas que este conmigo? #frustrada #cansada

[Patricia Salerno @patitepui]

Yep.

I invite all my male and female colleagues to do a self-check and self-reflect: have I ever though of a woman as brilliant? Have I ever used the word "genius" towards a person who isn't male? The answer may be uncomfortable, but necessary for growth.

[Patricia Salerno @patitepui]

"The problems of misogynist PIs and tepid reference letters may stem from the same root: the widespread assumption that only men can be brilliant."

As a PI, I constantly face micro-agressions from colleagues, all stemming from: "she can't be that smart." https://t.co/0iCOlgG1TV

There is no doubt that scientific progress relies in large part on natural history observations that may initially seem trivial or irrelevant. As tropical ecologists, what kinds of natural history observations do you think are valuable enough to merit visibility?
