Republicans confirmed Amy Coney Barrett 8 days before election but say you can’t impeach Trump 12 days before inauguration

Grad students! I want to give you a couple words of advice about finding postdoc positions. (Having just advertised a postdoc position, I am noticing some patterns, and perhaps not everybody is getting the mentoring they need when it comes to finding a postdoc position). Thread..

Here is another worm from our collection the other day Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) We think it is a species in Glyceridae family (thank you bria). This worm is of nightmare material and I love her weird face so much! late #WormWednesday en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycera_(…

Academic writing is wild bc you’ll read four articles just to write one sentence. Anyway, here’s a thread of resources I’ve been using to speed through this review I’m working on:

I love my lil hand made agarose gel transilluminator. Really proud that I circumvented a really shitty patent essentially owning the idea of "perpendicular illumination". Well, it's all freehand and no PCBs or glass lenses so take a hike. Will make for anyone. $64 + shipping!

Today’s the first day of the rest of my life….as a Full Professor! So proud to share this milestone day with Megan Frederickson Noah Whiteman Ryan Hernandez and many other inspiring life scientists.
