Love this podcast for grad students! But ¡Ojo! Not a bad idea for faculty involved in PhD programs to take a listen as well.....

Dear International Students, As the holidays approach, make sure to take time off. Don’t take half time off, take time off completely. If you are visiting home, immerse urself with family & friends. If you're unable to travel, visit someone nearby & step completely away from work

I’m finally ready to announce that I’m staying in academia. I never meant to be on this path. There are so many reasons but mostly it’s luck, privilege, and social connections.

Having a sensitive olfactory I've always suffered during conferences where we spend a lot of time in overly fragranced hotel lobbies. Masking helped a TON. Thanks for a great meeting PAA.

Slides are visual aids that assist your presentation. Anytime you put something on your slides, its primary purpose is to help the *audience*, not you. Nothing should distract from your verbal presentation, it should only enhance it. A mini-presentation on slide design. 1/

Protip: Don't search for the word "Reminder" in your inbox unless you want to be aggressively confronted by all the many things you are behind on #phdchat #phdlife

I remember breaking down to my Ph.D. advisor about how stupid I felt while troubleshooting a problem in my project when she handed me this paper. Years later it is still relevant to young students starting off in Science. It's ok to feel stupid, we all do on a regular basis.

In addition to being a data archive, we also keep track of webinars related to our data & publications made from our datasets. This helps people get a good understanding of what has/can be done with the data and key people to stay connected with in their field. #AlzScience

Incredible to partner with groups like Fundación Saldarriaga Concha with deep expertise in, and commitment to, supporting aging in Colombia. Below, a brief intro to a planned pilot survey of older Colombians harmonized with the HRS family of studies.

People often think the most important part of science is the statistical analysis. But they’re wrong. The most important part is understanding the data. Who collected it, when, where, why, how, and from whom? Who entered and cleaned it, when, where, why, how, and for whom?
