Happy international women’s day! I’m celebrating with a good book- how are you celebrating? #InternationalWomensDay2022 #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2022

[Evelyne Deplazes @DeplazesEvelyne]

Thanks, @GileadSciences, for supporting mid-career researchers in Australia!

I am excited to work with researchers at @Sydney_Uni, @UTS_Science and @UQ_SCMB to bring membrane biophysics and #compchem to antifungal #drugdevelopment.

Today is the International Day of Women & Girls in Science AND #FruityFriday - so I’m in my best rainbow fruit salad to remind you there is no right or wrong way to be a woman/girl in science. Women are diverse, and that’s not just OK, it’s great - be the rainbow!

[Shelley Barfoot @tiny_science_sb]

Some great tips here and in the thread too!

I must admit that this annotated Nature abstract remains a useful recipe for constructing a summary paragraph. I show it to my students every time we get started.

@RitaYohanne @PhDVoice @AcademicChatter My “writing buddy” Cognac is always sleeping on the job- he decides when the day is done because I can never quite bring myself to move him!

I'm thrilled to officially announce I will be joining @SCUonline as a Technology Facilitator with the Centre for Teaching and Learning in the new year! After 8 years at UQ, I am excited to see what this next chapter has to offer. #university #technology #learning #teaching

[Shelley Barfoot @tiny_science_sb]

For my fellow #PhD students in thesis/ manuscript land! Some great #tips here for writing 😊 These prompts are a excellent! Particularly because I find the starting point to be one of the trickiest parts 😵‍💫 #thesis #writing

[Ian Kleckner PhD MPH (he/him) @iankleckner]

Hopefully my suggestions help #PhD students and others working on the Discussion section of scientific manuscripts. Happy writing!

I felt so privileged today to be nominated alongside so many inspiring people at the #UQAwardsforExcellence today. Congratulations to all the winners! #Innovation #Service #Community #Wellness #Leadership #Reconciliation

[Shelley Barfoot @tiny_science_sb]

Very excited to announce I have been nominated for a #UQ Award for Excellence in Service! Such a lovely nomination, I feel very honoured. Thank you to whoever nominated me! #service #awards

[Shelley Barfoot @tiny_science_sb]

Everytime I’m motivated to do #thesis writing my laptop dies.. I don’t know what this is a sign of but it’s certainly some kind of omen 😂

Prompt 8 #SciCommSeptember your SciComm.
At the moment, my favourite form of science communication is through teaching! Teaching new #STEM enthusiasts how to communicate to different audiences means teaching a new generation to reach beyond their fields 😊 bigger than me ❤️

[Shelley Barfoot @tiny_science_sb]

I am the definition of organised chaos 😂

[Shelley Barfoot @tiny_science_sb]

Prompt 7 for #SciCommSeptember - your desk!
At work I have a lot of nicknacks but my favourite feature is the collection of inspiring #WomeninSTEM that watch over my, made by the fabulous @SarahKuschert ❤️ Also featured here is Cognac, always assisting when I’m #workingfromhome

[Shelley Barfoot @tiny_science_sb]

There was an honours project available in this amazing group in computer science AND microbiology! And I’ve been working in this group ever since 😊 Just goes to show you can always combine your passions, no matter how obscure people tell you they are!

[Shelley Barfoot @tiny_science_sb]

I’m a little behind but still on the #SciCommSeptember train! 11: my story!
In high school, I decided I wanted to be a microbiologist, but starting uni I kept a few computing subjects going as electives. I owe these choices to two amazing teachers!

[Shelley Barfoot @tiny_science_sb]

I dappled in wet lab, but even though I love microbiology, I felt that computer science was where the fun was at! Then, one day towards the end of my bachelors I walked past an office that said “Molecular Dynamics”
