I'm a scientist interested in better understanding how environmental chemicals interact with our genome.
#PhD from #UNC #ChapelHill

@PhdandBeyond_au @PhDVoice @AcademicChatter Have fun and make friends. Scientists are awkward so break the tension by saying hi and (even if you have to fake it) being outgoing.

[Rowan Beck, PhD @Rfbeck2]

@LGBTQHealthHub @PhDVoice @AcademicChatter I'd wait it out unless you're on a deadline. Maybe get your PI or someone with more authority to reach out. They might know someone who works for that journal

[Rowan Beck, PhD @Rfbeck2]

@PhDVoice @PostdocVoice Just fake it. Think of it as a paid acting gig. You're the only one thinking/worrying your research isn't great. Everyone else will respond to whatever you project, so if you project "THIS IS AWESOME CHECK IT OUT" they'll be like "WOWWOWOW OMG" in response.

@Sunitasriv @Phd_Reality @Anxious_PhD @PhDVoice @ThePhDoing @acadconfessions @AcademicChatter @Momademia Anything. What do you want to do?

[Academic Encouragement @CouragePhD]

Hello you wonderful person! I'm proud of you for the support you give to others! Bonus- helping others helps you learn about yourself and what you don't know, which you can use to grow into an even more accomplished person. When you help others, everybody wins! That's great!

[Rowan Beck, PhD @Rfbeck2]

@EliseAjay Tour Cambridge! Eat breakfast at Tatte (I love their signature cardamom latte). Visit the Harvard Natural History Museum. Visit the Boston Public Library. Walk around downtown.

[Rowan Beck, PhD @Rfbeck2]

Beautifully put!

#AcademicTwitter It is always worth sharing this every now and again! We are not imposters!😃

Excited for this talk! I never got to use WGCNA in my research, but wow is it useful! #Genomics #AcademicTwitter #CancerResearch

[CancerGenomicsCloud @genomicscloud]

On Wednesday February 22nd, Dr. Varduhi Petrosyan from @bcmhouston will present work she and colleagues conducted on the @genomicscloud using their novel network-based approach, CTD/WGCNA.

@Jodie_Boisvert I'd suggest coming in with a clear idea of what your goals are. Divide everything into smaller portions - mentorship in science? career? mental health? etc

[Chris Cornthwaite @cjcornthwaite]

PhDs learn to work and think at a high level, but we don't always develop leadership capabilities that are required to turn it into a well-paying career.
Develop yourself as a leader. It pays.

[Rowan Beck, PhD @Rfbeck2]

@PhDVoice @PostdocVoice Less now that I've had my PhD for a few years but still sometimes when learning something new. The trick is realizing it's okay to not know. You can't know everything! Just be open to learning!

[Rowan Beck, PhD @Rfbeck2]

@PhD_Genie flat 😔

[Rowan Beck, PhD @Rfbeck2]

@ItsSongbird it only gets worse from there...

[Rowan Beck, PhD @Rfbeck2]

There are few things in life I love as much as chatting with 6th graders about science! Some highlights include questions like, "Can animals get diabetes?", "Can your DNA code be changed?" and even a description of how to play Fortnite! Honored! #SkypeAScientist #scicomm

[Ms. Samar Ahmed @MsSRAhmed]

Thanks for joining the 6s @Rfbeck2 and teaching us all about genetics, diabetes and the human impact on the environment affecting our health. @SkypeScientist @DesmondHDSB @DowneyKyla @MsBajwaa @sajefferson1

[Jack DiGiovanna @jack_digi]

Excited that the @genomicscloud supported part of the @DSI_Africa Consortia meeting. @Bledine , @Rfbeck2, and Soner showed how the CGC helps researchers #collaborate and analyze #imaging data. #NCICommons #DataScience

@_Academicme @PhD_Genie @PhDVoice Can open anything with only one hand

[Rowan Beck, PhD @Rfbeck2]

@career_re Learning new things and teaching others difficult concepts in a way that makes sense to them :)

[Rowan Beck, PhD @Rfbeck2]

@PhD_Genie Myth. It's up to you to make your successes and contributions known.

[Rowan Beck, PhD @Rfbeck2]

@music_pw @ThePhDPlace @PhD_Genie You could always just cite yourself, if not re-writing it altogether. I think self-plagiarism as a concept is stupid but you might get flagged regardless.
