This is Trump’s first major loss. When we fight, we win. We may not have majorities in the House and the Senate, but we DO have the power to loudly educate and mobilize against the mass looting the Trump admin is attempting against our veterans, healthcare, education, and more.

I need people to understand how difficult it is to get an NIH grant. You spend months writing a proposal, following strict guidelines that include a detailed multiyear budget, bios of everyone on your team, plans for participant safety & ethical conduct. Then you send it off -1/n

Excited to share my first dissertation chapter! We measured urinary C-peptide to quantify seasonal variation in energetic condition in geladas at Simien Mountains National Park, Ethiopia @GeladaResearch

A new law in South Carolina will ban diversity training, the use of diversity statements, the employment of DEI officers, and identity-based hiring and admissions practices. See where else we've found anti-DEI legislation."

🚨Check out our call for REU participants this summer @AMNH. An opportunity to work with your biology peers in the heart of #NYC. @ashleyshammond and I have an exciting project on #dental 🦷wear and development. Description is in the link here:

Have any R1 tenured scholars written publicly about the moral injury of running PhD programs -- mentoring, supporting, encouraging fantastic students -- knowing that the jobs have dried up?

After running a lab that centers inclusion for 4 years now, I’d like to share some of our lab practices that have really worked in case this info is helpful for others.

Do you know someone who has broad contacts to candidates interested in graduate school (college seniors, research assistants, etc...)? Deans, directors of summer programs or postbacs - comment or DM me with contact info so I can connect them to @cientificolatin's GSMI this year!

One of my students was denied the @NSF GRF this year by virtue of being deemed ineligible because they took a one-week bootcamp prior to starting grad school and it showed up as a summer "class" on their transcript. Seems this could affect many applicants. Be aware! #NSFGRFP

Ideas to convince young scientists to join science twitter?

Thank you Assemblymember Sarahana Shrestha @sarahana for meeting with New Paltz CSTEP. Your support makes it possible for thousands of students from historically underrepresented groups & low income backgrounds to enter STEM, health & licensed fields. #standup4studentaid

Back for a 3rd year! Are you an undergrad interested in genomics/bioinformatics? We have paid @NSF #REU openings for the summer (2023)! You'll be able to work on research involving geladas, macaques, and dogs!. Info & application here: https://t.co/GZu3JymK5h Please RT/share!

New paper suggests introductory STEM courses disproportionately push underrepresented minority students out of the natural and applied sciences. #HigherEd #AcademicTwitter

Today, we recognize with our graduate students that paper rejections are a normal part of #academic life. Our faculty compete for sharing the worst rejection experience. Our PhD students are the jury.

On October 11 at 11 CT/12 ET, I’ll be moderating “Transforming Medical Education to Advance Equity and Inclusion,” an AAMC IDEAS Learning Series webinar with Dr. Yolanda Haywood and Dr. Laura Henderson Kelley. Registration is open! 👇🏾 #BlackinAnatWeek #MedEd #AnatEd #DEI

The @NSF Racial Equity in STEM program now has a solicitation NSF 22-634. The solicitation gives more info and guidance than the previous program description did. Due dates for proposals are: January 17, 2023, October 10, 2023, October 08, 2024, October 14, 2025.

Want to stay in higher ed or postsecondary but aren't committed to teaching or research? You have options, PhDs!
