I didn't get accepted to TAKE AP Biology in high school. The rejection stung, but Intro Bio w/ Mike Wade at Indiana University was an incredible experience & it inspired me to pursue a PhD in Biology. I often wonder what would have been if I'd taken AP Bio & tested out of that class.

Hi UC Merced IT! Checking in to ask when the MERCED cluster maintenance will be complete. What is the best way to get updates on the server's status? Cheers!

Then check out my latest paper at GBE (Genome Biology and Evolution)! academic.oup.com/gbe/article/12… Also check out my GitHub, Dryad, and SRA - all data/code to redo analyses is available. And a big thanks to @NSFGRFP American Museum of Natural History International Coral Reef Society for funding!

Just withdrew my agreement from a few days ago to review a paper for Nature Communications. (Too bad, b/c it's a set of authors I really want to succeed!) But all this sub-par mentoring I'm doing takes a lot of time.

A group of #womeninSTEM from Spain, we have written a letter to the editor of Nature Communications about the AlShebli paper, which claims being mentored by women hurts young scientists' careers. Due to inappropriate analysis and erroneous and damaging conclusions, we request retraction

This is a great piece. Thanks to Emily Alford for writing about this! jezebel.com/women-scientis… via @jezebel
