I'm in urgent need of personal care aides to start the week of Aug 30 in Cambridge/Boston. Hours are flexible. Weekday morning, afternoon (most urgent) and evening shifts needed. No prior experience is required. DM me for info and share with anyone you think may be interested!

Congrats Dr. Johana Goyes Vallejos on her grant from @insidenatgeo! She will be heading to Borneo to study the mating behavior of the smooth guardian frog, including its female mating call.

If a mentor doesn't care about helping you achieve your goals in the future, then they don't deserve your effort and productivity in the now.

Had a conversation with my dad about the “diversity” projects I’m already being asked to do in grad school. His response:
“Are your white classmates required to do the same or are they allowed to focus on their studies in peace?”
Damn.

I'm writing an abstract for a conference I was unable to attend until it was moved online which is great but, frankly, a little frustrating. I/many disabled academics aren't able to travel easily and virtual meetings weren't considered viable until abled people needed them 🤔

We're excited to announce our call for diversity scholarship applicants, and thrilled to be able to help members of our #rstats community join us in #StLouis for #useR2020. Please share the announcement widely - applications will be due January 15th! user2020.r-project.org/news/…

I want universities to offer orientation sessions for parents of 1st generation college students.
There is something special about honoring parents who are sending their kids to worlds they know nothing about.
Does anyone do this? #question

I get many messages from aspiring black scientists who say they hardly see scientists that look like them online/IRL. So I want to spend time highlighting black scientists, medics, engineers, mathematicians and techies! Introduce yourselves below & I’ll be retweeting👨🏾🎓👩🏿🔬👩🏽🏫👨🏿🏭🧪🔭

Pls RT if you agree:
Dear @GordonConf :
Please make #PowerHour part of the main program instead of part of “free time.” It suggests that diversity and inclusion is less important than the science, and this is not the right message to send.
Sincerely,

Just in case you needed a reminder:
You’re doing great.
You’re not alone.
Don’t give up.
We’re rooting for you.
Things can still get better.
It’s not the end of the world.
A little progress is still progress.
You’re trying. That’s all that matters.

It's been a trying year, and we miss Dr. Zars and his stories. But cheers to the Zars lab for hanging in there! Our traditional end of semester get-together at the Berg! @w_patricka you are here anyways! @ZarsTroy

Pgh! If you notice a sidewalk/curb cut is damaged on your walk to work, home, your favorite restaurant, etc. please take a minute to report it here. It takes 1 min to mark on the map and makes our city more accessible for all pittsburghpa.qscend.com/311/…
