Currently working on compressing my CV down to a one (1) page resume, and I definitely deserve a PhD just for completing this task #AcademicChatter

Check out some awesome work from one of our #sciencefair mentors @GreensburgSci!

NSF GRFP 📢 Congratulations to April Rich April and Caroline Larkin for receiving award offers, and Gaby Gerlach @GabriellaGerla1 for Honorable Mention award!

So bittersweet! Just sent in my last Letters to a Pre-Scientist letter to my pen pal for this year 💌💌 They're such an awesome kid, and I wish nothing but the best for them!

Just realized my PhD program has THREE Slack channels 😬 I'm watching communication inflation in real time.

Fun fact about me: my saltiness level when responding to emails is directly related to how long I've been waiting for a reply and how many follow-up emails I sent. People, I know you're sitting at your computers literally all day - don't take a month to respond to urgent emails.

I was today years old when I learned that it's not a normal thing to have a school-wide middle school field trip where they teach you to shoot guns 😳

Please join me in congratulating Dr. Amanda Kowalczyk Amanda Kowalczyk on passing her PhD dissertation defense this week! For her dissertation she built amazing phylogenetic tools and showed us the genetic constraints of long life and regions involved in hair formation!

Ah, nothing like the good old, "This other paper did it incorrectly so it's okay if I do it incorrectly"

Just bought a giant water bottle and, based on the hype, I fully expect it to achieve world peace and first-author two papers by this afternoon.

Me, teaching: Day 1: Here's how to do x. Day 2: Here's how to do x, once again. Day 3: I said this yesterday, but here's how to do x. Day 4: Not to be too repetitive, but here's how to do x. My student, furious, day 5: Why didn't you show us how to do x?!?!?

The Greensburg Area Science Program (GASP) shows students in Greensburg, PA, that careers in science are possible for them through field trips, guest lectures, mentorship, and a yearly science fair. New blog from Amanda Kowalczyk @GreensburgSci ascb.org/careers/studen…
