Quick thread on using social media as a femme presenting scientist 🧵👩‍🔬 This week a late career Herpetologist contacted my PI to "ask what was wrong with [me]" and how she could hire "such a sloppy "postdoc"" - all because I spelled a salamander genus wrong (see image, +🧵👇)

Last night I dreamt that in order to pass my PhD defense I, a biologist- not chemist, needed to ace an intensive organic chemistry final which I hadn’t studied for. I guess it beats the stress dreams where I lose my high school locker #AcademicChatter

The placeholders in my dissertation make me chuckle at the very least

Hey, that's me! Today the #BantingCanada award recipients were announced, & I am very grateful to be one of them! Thank you CIHR/NSERC / CRSNG! I am looking forward to continuing to study the ecology of spiders in agro-ecosystems and beyond at McGill University

We Bernhardt Lab are recruiting grad students for 2024 (fully funded positions! Living wage!) on topics related to adaptation to global change and connections between biodiversity and human well-being See: bernhardtlab.org/join-us Grad ad: bernhardtlab.org/s/grad-student…

🚨We're HIRING! A fully-funded 4-year PhD position developing & studying how the plant circadian clock works and how this complex protein network will change under future agricultural climate scenarios! Apply Here: kuleuven.be/personeel/jobs…

NIH proposes upping postdoc salary to 70k/year. People: This will lead to less postdocs! Me: Didn't you see how many labs are struggling to hire a postdoc? Very few PhD students are even looking to be a postdoc. It's gonna be okay. Chill.

My lab is recruiting a PhD student and Post-Doc to investigate plant fertilization dynamics. If you're interested, please send your cover letter and CV to [email protected]!

This evening was lovely. Dinner with none other than Dr. Leticia Avilés and Wayne Maddison with andrea haberkern, M.S. 🥰 Spiders make the world go round!

andrea haberkern, M.S. and 🕷scienTEAfic🕷 are 'killing it' at the spider identification workshop today, sponsored by UBCBiodiversity Beaty Biodiversity Museum 🐳. Way to go!

I am thrilled to announce that I will be starting as an Assistant Professor in Biology TCU TCU Sci & Eng. this fall! I have one position available for a PhD student in my lab, with an anticipated start date of August 2024. 🐜🌱🐝 More below 👇

Probably the best thing I've done as a scientist is participating in this amazing event and meeting everyone else involved. I'm so sad I'm not there this year to help facilitate 😭

Focus on your family and your own health, first and foremost. Treat the PhD as a job. Treat any academic job AS A JOB.

A personal story about how the potential grant funding freeze might affect science. Right now, I'm in my fourth year of a 5-year NIH grant and my last year of funding is supposed to start February 1st. I'm supporting a postdoc, two graduate students, and two lab managers

Our NIH grant to discover coronavirus antiviral meds was terminated today. With this grant, we had developed a better SARSCoV2 inhibitor than Paxlovid, and we recently discovered an improved drug that looks better than Pfizer's own second-generation inhibitor.
