@seanbruna @Dr_ASingh @FeFullerton That is so cool! Good luck in your training!

[A Tale of Two PhDs @Tale_of_2_PhDs]

@Dr_ASingh I get movement in where I can, like biking to work & taking the stairs. I take fun evening classes 3 days per work week for 1.5hrs (salsa💃 & karate🥋) and do different activities for 2-4 hours on the weekend (lift, hike, or dance). It keeps me sane!

Anyone else have a rough 3rd year of their PhD or is it just us? 🙋‍♀️https://t.co/R6HBXofO5k

Dad jokes are ok but Mom Jokes are insisting that a squirrel she sees a lot is the mayor of the neighborhood and every time you talk she says "I saw the mayor today."

Please RT and spread! We are hiring 4 more postdoc scholars in 3D bioprinting and regenerative medicine for multiple new projects on intraoperative and aspiration-assisted bioprinting. Interested candidates can email me ([email protected]) their CV.

@AbbyBartlett_ Yes! I totally agree. I went from MCB and Parkinson's research in undergrad to molecular engineering and malaria research in grad school. Undergrad research topics don't define the rest of your academic career, but the skills learned certainly can!

[A Tale of Two PhDs @Tale_of_2_PhDs]

Are you an undergrad applying for lab positions? We made a list of tips based on our experiences interviewing students! If you're hiring, what tips do you have for undergrads? #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

[Abby Bartlett @AbbyBartlett_]

@Tale_of_2_PhDs These are great tips!

I used to be an ‘undergrad research ambassador.’ My top advice: don’t worry if the lab’s focus isn’t exactly what you set out or planned for! It’s good to get some experience and then transition - or maybe discover a new topic you’re just as excited about!

I just got my first response to a posting I made for an undergrad research position. Why am I so excited already?!
