Genuinely caring about students should be a non-negotiable qualification for a career in academia. Full stop.

No amount of research achievement or creativity can substitute for caring about the professional development and well-being of those we teach and mentor.

A systematic review of research on workplace breaks shows that:
1) Regular micro breaks can be better than longer breaks
2) Outdoor breaks & fresh air are better than indoor breaks
3) Scrolling social media is the most common break type but it creates emotional exhaustion
4) Spending a break with a furry companion is beneficial

Putting mentoring first doesn’t mean you don’t care about research. Rather, it means you care so much that you know the best research is done when researchers feel supported.

Thank you to @NIGMS for talking with me and @GargLab and supporting our #MentorFirst initiative!!

For Ph.D. students, choosing a supportive mentor is 100 times more important than choosing a PI who is working in the top/famous institution.

Sometimes, when I’m feeling like my research doesn’t matter, I read my spam emails. In my spam emails, I am “prominent” and “eminent.” My submissions are urgently needed. I am invited to serve as a keynote speaker at conferences in fields like plant ecology and marine biology.

@dstephenlindsay I’ve been growing basil in my garden this summer and it’s been a game changer in sandwiches, especially with tomatoes! Also tried the basil on a Korean-style fried rice and it was lovely.

Excited to co-teach a course on human memory with my colleague, Dr. Riley St. Clair, who is a neuroscientist! We are compiling our reading list and I’m wondering if anyone has suggestions for a good textbook for (non-psyc) undergrads on neuro memory? TIA!

You can tell a lot about a person by the way they treat and connect with animals.

The Sheringham Point lighthouse on Vancouver Island has placed a speaker on land that broadcasts the songs of orcas, humpbacks and other marine animals from beneath the waves.
