In this piece, we argue that blaming teachers & unions for schools delaying reopening or going remote is misguided.

Schools can’t stay open bc of uncontrolled spread of COVID.

We call on federal leaders to do better.

Cannot begin to describe how thrilled I am with this outcome. @SW_Columbia with this tentative agreement. Universities rely on academic labor, however much they try to coerce us into thinking we're lucky just to be there.

#2022Goals: replace saying someone "should" do something with a more precise word. Do I need or want this? Or feel pressure to? A way of being more honest about my desires and feelings, identifying what comes from me and what is internalized.

@E_Stivison @PhDVoice @PostdocVoice I also switched in my 5th year. My interests and goals changed. I'm so glad I followed that and didn't let fear keep me stuck. Your wellness is most important.

I took a leave of absence last fall- it was so so helpful.
And the process was unnecessarily confusing and intimidating. Grad programs/depts need better and clearer policies. You have the right to take time off. No shame. #PhdVoice #UPennGrad

I started my PhD in biophysics in 2017. This past year I completely switched fields to molecular epidemiology. I am much more excited about my work now, and much less stressed and burned out. It's never too late to make a change! #PhdLife

Hi Twitter! Do you think about how research can be a tool of liberation? Connections between population health and biochemical pathways? Community-based research models? I'd love to connect as I explore and write about these topics!
