The perfect way to celebrate the transition from summer research to fall term: celebrating students who have gone from summer research alumni to matriculated graduate students! https://t.co/hOnHfJsQRh

Hi all, It is my pleasure to launch the HHMI Biointeractive and SEAS program's FREE course on 'Inclusive Teaching'. More than anything, this course asks us amidst the haste to slow down, pause and reflect on being human-centered in teaching . https://t.co/7MeiE6oMq1

“Women earn more than 50% of PhD’s, but receive only 39% of postdoc fellowships & 18% of professorships.[..] The more decorated a male scientist is, the fewer women he trains, and universities hire their junior faculty members from these elite men’s labs.” https://t.co/ltyyZ2fEIx

A discovery from the @clemonslab may help researchers fulfill bacteriophages' initial promise as an antibiotic therapeutic. Marshaling the right phages at the right time to address bacterial infections could create a new, more durable antibiotic. https://t.co/0D88kR9U9l

Of course I immediately spot the typo after I hit send! Promise I do a better job proofreading papers…don’t judge too harshly.
