Dunno if twitter is targeting such tweets to me, but seems the general mood among postdocs is ~negative~ these days. Are things getting worse or is it all the same as always?

Career checklist: Publish 2x in Nature for PhD ✅; get multiple federal fellowships, including K99 in postdoc ✅; (probably) publish again in CNS for postdoc ✅; (probably) lose K funding, despite a global pandemic... ✅? Just... fuck this whole, ill-conceived game

@kaymtye let’s petition @NIHDirector to raise everyone’s salaries to a livable wage. That will slow the brain drain from academia, improve lives, improve code, etc.

I wonder why Azeen Ghorayshi did not interview the female first author of this paper-- @DanaRubiLevy , a brilliant scientist who worked hard on this--which came out a day before International Women's Day.

Important new work from @Datta_Lab @ShanskyLab Overturns the dogma that females are too "complicated" to include in biomedical studies. This dogma has led to a huge disparity in clinical studies, many of which exclude women 1/2

So rare to see someone with so much grace and moral clarity. I'm proud of @AOC <3 <3 <3 Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spoke from the House floor on the incident with Republican Rep. Ted Yoho

Can we take a tiny bit of US Defense budget to fund more #science so we can go to #Mars and figure out how the #brain works? #NYTOpinion

Yes, birds have consciousness. This shouldn't be surprising at this point. By the framing of this study though, some single-celled organisms should be considered conscious.

@emilylmullin @darrenlogan @wudanyan Ah that makes more sense. From a basic science perspective, there have been plenty of breakthroughs in mouse (and rat, cat, fly, primate, and bird) work! Translation takes a while though, and you never know where useful discoveries will come from :)
