An important distinction, even for work you might normally be able to work on from home (say by editing a manuscript). You are STILL trying to work work during a crisis.
"You are not working from home; you are at your home during a crisis trying to work." I've heard this twice today. I think it's an important distinction worth emphasising.

This thread is based on a gaming industry convention, but most of this advise is also good for scholars traveling to the US from abroad for conferences.

I've been reworking some of the lab's 3D printed components. I've got one running over the weekend. Any bets on whether I find something like this on Monday morning?

Adams et al reveal that cardiac conduction is biphasically related to #perinexal separation, & ephaptic coupling is an important determinant of #CardiacConduction. Learn more at https://t.co/cdLaHoNEhP

I had the pleasure of overlapping some with Ubadah during his time at @FralinBiomed. I was impressed by him every day then, and I grow more so everytime I learn more of his story..
This profile tells more of my story than I’ve ever publicly shared and I hope people get to read it. Especially those from the middle east and community college students. https://t.co/0hmtUdcq5R

Oh right. Grad students only get student health support during the school year. Having a physical physical or mental health crisis over the summer costs an extra $104. Because so very many grad students are <checks notes> required to work summers just like normal.

I know, in theory, that our immigration system is broken, but hearing stories like this remind me of just HOW broken.

This is horrific, and heart breaking, and just plain wrong.
Terrible news. Governor Ivey has signed both anti-trans bills in Alabama and they will go into effect. Trans people who have been on blockers since they were 12 years old will be forced through the wrong puberty and not allowed bathroom access. Horrific. https://t.co/6nPdgo7YvU

On #internationalasexualityday this is your reminder that I am Ace. Asexuality is a loosely defined as a lack of sexual attraction. This is distinct from aromanticism, which is a lack of romantic attraction. If you want to know more, feel free to ask me. https://t.co/zMv3MOrEJA

ADHD can cause deficits in working memory, the short-term memory you use to track information for tasks and cognitive activities. You simply can't hold the same amount of working data as neurotypical people.

The tireless work of the graduate students has paid off! Despite major opposition, we have convinced enough of the UC to vote yes and committ VT to providing a livable wage for all grad students! We did this and we did it together so fucking congrats to us 🎉

Hey @RunBlueRidge. Why exactly is gender a required field to volunteer at an aid station? And if for some reason it has to be, why isn't there at minimum a "prefer not to answer" option?

I feel disgusted RN. We're fighting hard to raise GRA/GTA stipend with @VTGPSS as we have more than 30% food insecurity among the grad students @virginia_tech.Then this guy asks to defer the discussion in a meeting with more than 400 people! Not even going to talk about it?!😡
