@DrHazmatic This is why money is such an issue. It is the single largest gatekeeping tool in academia. People don't seem to understand "oh it's training, oh it's school". No. It's work and it deserves better pay. People shouldn't have to chose between the ability to do science and eat.

An academic career progression can be perfectly linear: PhD - Postdoc - Assistant Professor. Here’s mine: PhD - Postdoc 1 - Postdoc 2 - Postdoc 3 - Instructor - Senior Postdoc - Scientist II - Scientific Director - Assistant Professor. And you know what? That’s ok. AMA ;)

I am leaving in two months. They are interviewing everyone that works with me, the whole team, and scaring everybody - everyone is afraid for their job. Which is ridiculous because production could just keep going. Cell output is going to drop if everyone is terrified guys.

Why did I recruit a team of wonderful, amazing, spectacular female scientists? Because my girls, your girls, everyone is going to have to deal with this BS at some point. While we think “oh it’s not that big of a deal”, these micro and macro aggressions grow too big to count.

6yo was devastated from leaving New York. “It smells bad, and it’s too loud, and there’s too many people, and it’s very messy, and I love it…”

@beecher31009380 Yup. Took 5 years for our organoid paper. The thing is, in terms of real skillset, if you don’t do data collection, there’s only reading and writing. Not super employable skills. It seems to have worked for this person but I wouldn’t suggest it as a strategy.

@SamanthaStrudel Time. Just walk outside. Schedule your hobbies. It isn't easy: you feel like you're so on edge all the time, trying to stay on top of things, that when you get out, it's hard to remove yourself. The reality is this: you are very smart. But you don't always have to be. It's ok.

Official profile pick. I hate pictures. Sigh. I look super focused. In reality, was thinking about cheeseburgers. Yes, plural. Don’t judge me.

How does the “professor’s” anxiety mitigate the fact that his student was racially profiled, and had his career flipped around - and they did nothing? This is not a tale of overcoming adversity. It’s a tale of being too afraid for ones’ position to stand up your students.

How I overcame my anxiety to achieve my purpose as a professor | Science | AAAS Who else is “really curious” about the professor who called security on one of the grad students in their own department?!! I mean WTAF?!
