What's better than publishing a paper? Publishing it next to another paper from your former postdoc's lab. Congratulations, @mdlmata & Team! Full stories on how miRNAs get degraded at doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkae094 & doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkae115 @NAR_Open @FMIscience

The courage of this woman scientist standing up for herself and for what's right reminds me of what Jennifer Doudna said when asked, by a female student, for career advice:
"Walk into every room like you OWN THE PLACE."
BRAVA! to this person and all
#WomenInSTEM for doing so.

Neuroscientists have been able to peer into the brain of a sleeping octopus for the first time and find remarkable similarities to the way that humans and other vertebrates sleep. Read the @Nature paper: go.nature.com/3NALaOc

A thread for skeptics, minimizers & those wondering why it's a big deal:
EVERY SINGLE woman in medicine/science has either been sexually harassed or knows someone who has been. The vast majority of incidents go unreported. Few of the incidents reported lead to consequences

Today, to honor and appreciate the successes of women in science, we’ll be sharing a few facts about women in science and how we can all work to overcome barriers to gender equality in our discipline. 🧠👩🔬🧵 (1/9)
