Academic science has a set of unwritten rules for success. In an effort to level the playing field, particularly for URM trainees, let’s make a list of the unwritten rules in science. What are some unwritten rules you learned during each stage of your academic career?

Words of wisdom from Dr. Sharona Gordon 🏳️‍🌈 🔬 have been stuck in my head since the Seattle DROP event. Why can abusive mentors still continue to recruit talented people to their labs? (1) People don’t take time to find out because they are excited about opportunity in ‘prestigious’ lab 1/

New wound care behavior in ants! Here we show how ants amputate the leg of injured conspecifics (a first in the animal kingdom)! Interestingly, amputations are not always the best strategy to care for a wound and ants have adapted their treatment accordingly. A 🧵... (1/6)
