While everyone is #workingfromhome remember to check in on your extrovert friends and family. For some, social distancing may be especially crippling #makephonecallsgreatagain

I’m a virologist & I learned from this analysis. Our team is transitioning to working from home for foreseeable future. Least we can do- lucky our jobs permit it. Thank you doctors/nurses for showing up. “Coronavirus: Why You Must Act Now” by @tomaspueyo

Today’s declaration of a #COVID19 pandemic is a call to action – for everyone, everywhere.

It’s also a call for responsibility & solidarity – as nations united and as people united.

As we fight the virus, we cannot let fear go viral.

Let’s overcome this common threat together.

Just saw a thing about how they had to give Blake Lively prosthetic eye bags in The Rythm Section because hers weren’t pronounced enough & I’ve never related to something less

We can narrowly feed 10 bn people without wrecking the planet -- but it requires a fundamental redesign of the global food system. 5 years of our work went into this major study, finally published today @MattiKummu @jrockstrom @PIK_Climate @naturesustainab https://t.co/9wKYqPm5mw

New Editorial: "Loving the alien" https://t.co/Mbo6n2M0iA

Plants are different and amazingly diverse. We should not be embarrassed to study them independently of their many uses.

[Rachel Paul @raebeth89]

She gets it. Instructors need to recognize and respect that their students are humans. And there is everything right about teaching students to care for their health 🙌

[Nicole Gonzalez Van Cleve @nvancleve]

I literally built into my syllabus some "rest and health" assignments for my students. NO professor ever told me that taking care of myself was part of my success and well-being. SO...I plan to teach that this first semester @BrownUniversity

[Rachel Paul @raebeth89]

I spent most of the day thinking it was Thursday....so here’s to actually being excited that the week just got longer!

[Robert VanBuren @bob_vanburen]

Really excited about our new preprint led by @JeremyPardo2 “Intertwined signatures of drought and desiccation in grasses” https://t.co/sXcOaclCm5

[Rachel Paul @raebeth89]

Yes, please! This has always made me uncomfortable

[Sarafina El-Badry Nance, PhD @starstrickenSF]

can we collectively ban “sexy” from science-speak please thanks

[Mark Stradiotto @MarkStradiotto]

Being a PhD student shouldn’t be bad for your health.

Some 👍 directives (e.g., mandatory PI training). I feel depts should have to publish info re the state of mental health, including critical situations, and unfiltered anonymous student commentary.
