Perseverance

[Ben Cichy @bencichy]

Got a 2.4 GPA my first semester in college. Thought maybe I wasn’t cut out for engineering. Today I’ve landed two spacecraft on Mars, and am now designing one for the Moon.

STEM is hard for everyone. Grades ultimately aren’t what matter. Curiosity and perseverance matter.

[Daniel Griffin MD PhD @DanielGriffinMD]

I have Long COVID and after vaccine

[Science News @ScienceNews]

As the #BlackLivesMatter movement gained momentum, Black scientists jumped into call for inclusivity at school and work. https://t.co/Ub5RMzTsgX

Time to gear up for REUs!

[Undergrad In The Lab @youinthelab]

Applying for summer research experiences? Yay!

Read the requirements of each #REU or other program carefully. Every summer we receive DMs from #UndergradInTheLab who regret the summer program they chose.

Interesting study on the relationship between COVID-19 and air pollution.

[Science Magazine @ScienceMagazine]

In a statistical analysis of data from more than 3,000 U.S. counties, scientists have determined that long-term exposure to fine-particle air pollutants may increase one’s vulnerability to death from #COVID19. https://t.co/r6YYeXIfrO @ScienceAdvances

[Nature Portfolio @NaturePortfolio]

A paper in Nature reports the pre-clinical assessment of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine mRNA-1273 in a mouse mode. The vaccine is shown to protect mice from viral replication for more than 3 months following a prime/boost regimen and challenge. https://t.co/ioE3x15c9E

[AAAS @aaas]

“I have colleagues who … are waking up at 3 or 4 [AM] so that they can have time to work before the kids wake up.”

Research is emerging that backs the challenges scientist parents are facing during the pandemic. And finding a solution hasn't been easy. https://t.co/jZRVus3eKZ

Social distancing in the Chemistry lab!

[University of St. Francis @UofStFrancis]

These chemistry students are the first to return to the USF campus for summer classes. Guided by their professor, Dr. Scott Gruenbaum, and lab safety manager Bettylou Zmudka, all are practicing proper social distancing and mask-wearing in the labs. Thanks for paving the way!
