Omg 🤣🤣🤣

Happy to share our little discovery with @SimoneMattei19 team on how ribosomes hibernate upside down on mitochondria during cellular stress is now out @NatureComms! A collaboration between @medicineUVA, @EMBL, @EmblImaging, MEMC. Congrats to all authors! https://t.co/DE6eAamt5I

The future is visiting again! We are seeking applicants for the 6th season of MITOchats. Deadline for submission is October 21st. Visit https://t.co/3L1pgvZTDA for details.

It's never too late to join the BUMMP Fammily! Grad students, postdocs, faculty, and professionals in a bio field are all eligible mentors. Fill out the Mentor Interest Form in our bio and attend a training this week to learn how easy it is to make a difference @ucsdbiosciences!

Sadly, we still default to granting more respect to men than women. 8 studies: we're >2x as likely to call male politicians, athletes, teachers, and authors by their last names. It matters: surnames signal higher status. It's long past time to use consistent standards.

Fantastic advice here!! Definitely contact lab alumni, and don’t ignore your gut feelings about a potential advisor or lab.

Trump said “I have the concepts of a plan” and 10,000 academics gasped

I don’t have a plan, I have concepts of a plan.

A prospective PhD student should look for a kind and understanding mentor, not necessarily the most brilliant one or someone working at a prestigious institution. A kind mentor will focus on your progress and work to uplift you.

A good positive control has the power to say "it's not you, it's the experiment." It's no fun when an experiment fails, but it helps to know it's not because you did the experiment wrong but because science just doesn't work that way. And it frees you up to try other approaches.

THERES ALWAYS SOMETHING

I cannot express in words the joy and privilege it is to cycle to work. So I won’t. It’s fun Y’all.

So excited to be running a hands-on microscopy workshop for @bummp_ucsd September 16-18 (fun fact - one of these days is my 45th birthday!). Will be running with @UCSD_NIC and the inestimable @Neal_Lab. BUMMP students - send an email if you’re interested! Sponsors welcome :-)

Best chemistry meme, ever🤣

Dear Researchers, I'm excited to share the intro to my YouTube channel where I will be teaching scientific illustration. Let's learn how to create effective illustrations and figures for your research paper. https://t.co/v7HifNtgpr We will focus on learning Blender, Inkscape
