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

I'm a bit biased, but what a beaut! Congrats @pleinerlab @GPTomaleri and twitterless Masami

“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

Please RT. Please speak now or forever* hold your ✌️Please discuss w/send to your advisor (they have opinions), your postdoc/ grad association (they have stories). This is the window to put it on the record. I know ppl are tired/jaded but please participate!
🚨If you were ever horrified or annoyed by writing or reading reviews to an NIH fellowship application, please see the proposed changes and comment! Either enthusiasm or constructive suggestions are important to effect change. https://t.co/N5bNCaoEkx Deadline for comments June 23

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