Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.

I am absolutely honored and humbled to share that I've been selected to deliver not one, but two talks at the #GRS #GRC! 🌟 This opportunity means the world to me, especially as someone who has battled with self-doubt and always been so underconfident. – at Athens, GA

Regular reminder. As an academic, student, postdoc, or professor, you accept less pay and more stress. It is only worth doing if what you do truly matters. Do that high-risk project. Because the boring project does not justify the downsides of academia. For the love of ideas.

1. My top imaging trick to trainees is that before they spend any time taking pictures of the data they just sit there for a while & look at the stuff. Like seriously, sit back, crank some tunes, get cozy & spend some quality time with your slides.

Sometimes words dont do justice as to how inspiring some talks can be... Was extremely privileged to hear Dr. Esko talk about #HeparanSulfate . (Had only read his papers or seen him on Zoom). #glycotime #GlycoscienceSymposium #postdoclife – at Athens, GA

📢'The World Is Your Oyster' is for those who are born in global north countries--don't experience visa bureaucracy & emotional burden that non-white global south scholars do. Citizenship is a privilege that we need to recognize in the academe. 1/n nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Wow! It is so important to choose supportive mentors....
Deal with failure! Find supportive mentors!😊 #Doudna #Science #CRISPR #Advice "People that I’ve had the pleasure to work with in my laboratory, the most successful of them are people who are able to deal with their fears. We all have fears but sometimes you try something and there is failure, right? You have to deal with that. [...] I just think you have to embrace your passions. You have to really go for it. People that have been less successful in my opinion, are those that dabble in something, but then don’t really give it their all. They almost never give themselves a chance to succeed, as they back off too soon. I think for young people, I tell them go for it, find supportive mentors who will help you through the tough times, and then just keep going. Because if you have a good idea, it’s probably going to work out in some way. You may not be able to predict how, but you should just keep pursuing it."

Actually, not surprising! Such amazing conditions and disrespect makes you even question if it is worth it?
The number of U.S. citizens and permanent residents working as #postdocs in the U.S. fell sharply in 2022. The new data underscore concerns that an increasing number of early career scientists are flocking to industry. My latest for @ScienceCareers. science.org/content/article/…
