We were told NIH funding cuts were about eliminating DEI. But the data now shows grants are down across nearly every field of medicine: cancer, diabetes, mental health, brain disorders. With the greatest cuts hitting Alzheimer’s research, down more than 50%.

It's our home. This Earth Day, see our planet as our Artemis II astronauts saw it with these new images from the mission.

I am thrilled to announce that @ScholarlyScouts has formed a partnership with the @musc_cgs Science Communications Internship Program! Students who publish a STEM-related blog on our website will be able to use this to build their portfolios and towards badges. šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰ #SciComm

My new year's resolution is 300 DPI because this is required for figures in manuscripts for many academic journals

this is exactly why we should stop using the IF of the journal as a metric of good science, but read the actual paper (as you did!). The IF of a journal doesn’t reflect the impact of a paper and vice versa…That’s why e.g. eLife refuses to publish an IF (and why I love it :)

Publications are surely a bonus and can fetch you interview calls for industries, but they do not guarantee your selection. Here are a few tips I learnt that helped me transition from academia to industry after my PhD and landed me a job. (1/n) @PhDVoice #AcademicChatter

I think one of the most important things I've learned in the past few years is to respect the "bad brain" day. There will be "good brain" days around the corner, but only if you respect the "bad brain" day and chill.
