My most liked X post, reposting here: 1 in 10 of the top 100 ‘best’ scientists are named Michael or Eric, but only 3% are female according to Research.com. Putting aside the obvious flaws of the H-index, these numbers are disheartening: research.com/scientists-r... #SciComm #WomenInSTEM

Reading my thesis proposal from 5 years ago to figure out how I’m writing this thesis outline now Realizing that, as much as I thought my project derailed over my PhD (because of stuff that didn’t work + weird findings that led me astray) … I was pretty faithful to my proposed specific aims? 😮

If you are looking for feeds to follow I HIGHLY recommend the Science feed. Everyone who posts to it is vetted to ensure they are actual scientists and science communicators to prevent misinformation and pseudoscience from being posted. It's a great place to learn and interact with science!

I feel like this is more a curse for the people forced to be around them than for the enemy themselves. 😢 “May their best friend/partner smell of old garlic” may be a stronger curse (or is it too strong to be “small” lol)

I made a starter pack for neuroscience folks but I just saw that it’s capped at 150 people. Sorry if I missed anyone! Maybe #neuroscience folks should start making subfield starter packs? 🧪 go.bsky.app/Q69XurQ

Hi #SciSky! 🧪 (is there a #NeuroSky yet? I just started here and saw biorxiv had posted our preprint 7 months ago, so I thought I’d update this with the published version as my self-introduction :) We do mice, alpha-synuclein, and prions. Nice to meet everyone! journals.plos.org/plospathogen...

Realized today there was a time (circa 2016-2020?) when #ScienceTwitter was an amazing resource for career advice. Long threads re: “how to apply for grad school”, “what to expect in a chalk talk”, and other highlights from the hidden curriculum. A practice to revive as we settle in new places?

Starter packs are great. Just a reminder that if you’re creating a pack that could be used to identify marginalized people, get their permission first. I.e., a well-intentioned “great trans scientists” list could lead to undesired risk I haven’t heard of this happening yet, just thinking ahead
