As a laid off postdoc, I turned to a side hustle—and found a new career

#PhDadvice you won't learn in school:
2 weeks ago, I asked academics on LinkedIn to give their best advice to incoming PhD students.
That post brimmed with gems of advice.
I summarized the advice, added my own, and made this video: https://t.co/Gw7oCS8y2b
Watch or share!
My next YouTube video is on the topic 20 things I wish I knew when I was a PhD student. Which of these thumbnails immediately grabs your attention? Top, middle or bottom?
Being laid off from a #postdoc, and then being let go from a company because I wasn't "learning" quickly enough for them, taught me an important lesson👇🏾
Create your own career insurance, because nobody has your back.
It is not pessimistic of you to think this way.
It's wise.
Being a Black woman in STEM is not easy. As a new member of the TikTok community (@team_rrights!), we wanted to share some creators discussing the difficulties they have faced in the STEM ecosystem and some valuable advice. @laurenkennedi_@DrTasiaIsbell@theboldphd
Are Google Career Certificates worth it for PhDs?
Especially if you're trying to get work outside academia?

@GEICO - no worries, we will go elsewhere with our money. But you are incredibly fake, unhelpful, and do not care about your customers one bit. @TheGEICOGecko@GEICO_Service
@GEICO I am terribly disappointed. My husband & I have been customer for 13 years. THIRTEEN. My husband had dropped someone off Amazon location, and someone backed into his car and then he reported it. This week you sent us a letter canceling our insurance ...
In all those 13 years, that we paid HARD EARNED MONEY, we only ever used the insurance for tows. The ONE TIME, we actually get hit and need your help, you NOT ONLY DO NOT HELP. No you go ahead and cancel our insurance. Shame on you.
You claim he was doing a delivery and that our insurance does not cover that. Fair enough. But to go ahead and cancel our insurance with a FRANKLY WEAK EXCUSE is the lowest of the low. Especially after we have been customers for 13 years.

@RiversidedotFM is there a way to make sure I ALWAYS appear on one side when I record video interviews in Riverside? I don't see a button like that in the application.
