Chris Wallace now feels the pain of women in meetings.

Abraham Lincoln paid 3x more in taxes in 1864 than Donald Trump in 2016. Not more as a share of his income. More in taxes. Lincoln paid $1981.67 in federal taxes on a salary of $25,000 in 1864-1865. Trump paid $750 in 2016, about one-third what Lincoln paid, but 151 years later.

This man literally told white supremacists to “stand by.”

That sad feeling of working for several years for more inclusive practices within my department seminars. Then, after handing over the reigns, the needle pops right back to where it was. Yes, I will talk with the leaders but also .. I'm tired.

I read an academic article today about how advisors play a really important role in their PhD students' career interests. I know this and it's worth emphasizing. If you have students, remember your words and deeds can well have an oversized impact on their entire future careers.

Provocative and timely op ed from @catsonatardis How can university demonstrate care for PhD students? She has concrete suggestions Grad schools should halt doctoral admissions in the humanities for two years (opinion)

Y'all, my mom just texted me about a tiny, floofy puppy who is in need of relocation/new home. Just a few pictures of the li'l fluffball make me squeeee to an astonishing level. Now I'm smitten & my wife thinks this is hilarious. So, I maybe have a new dog, in Jan?

Successfully defended my PhD dissertation today! In the spirit of acknowledging & normalizing failure in the process, I defended in a skirt made of rejection letters from the course of my PhD. #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #PhDone THANK YOU to everyone involved in my journey

Resilience is a crucial mindset and skill set that can help in the Faculty Job Search, and leads to success as a professor and in life. Fantastic guidance from Tia Rich, #ContemplationByDesign to close @StanfordVPGE #sgsi2019 Jumpstart Your Academic Job Search @ah_bakker

The @PublicsLab is thrilled to be co-planning this conference on reimagining graduate education with @FuturesED and @HumanitiesGC!

Integrate questions of career and skill development into the curriculum from the start. Glad that one more departs is getting the right idea. We career coaches are here to help!

This! We careercoaches working with PhDs and Postdocs say this all the time. Check out @Grad_Careers and @CarpeCareers

If I could change ONE THING about the way academia conducts searches for new faculty: no more reference letters. Time consuming and biased. I couldn’t stop and proposed 5 fixes @chronicle @Golde_Stanford @StanfordBEAM https://t.co/H0Wp1lmDzr

Universities are improved when PhD-holders are hired into administrative positions. We understand academic culture and connect to faculty. @CarpeCareers @Grad_Careers @insidehighered https://t.co/w6ritTEPp1

Excellent @Grad_Careers advice on what matters for trans/non-binary people in a graduate job search. We need more articles and advice like this!

I often advise grad students to find a group of colleagues who are ambitious, yet kind and authentic, and commit to driving, encouraging, and championing each other. I didn't realize I also need this as a faculty member until I found it. Now I can't imagine my career without it.

I have seen so much change in very recent years, and actions taking place nationally (for example, @AAUniversities PhD Education Initiative) that will further accelerate change. I agree that 1 powerful action to take is reframing one's own mindset: being curious, open-minded.
