I received a few wonderful notes of appreciation for #FlyCROSS this week. Highlighting the program advertisement once again for #earlycareer scientists from the #Drosophila #community. In these testing times let's all have each other's backs.💪🏽#Dros26 #AcademicTwitter #phdlife

Our faculty job market series continues today on the topic of CVs, cover letters, and LORs. Come hear myself, Brisa Palikuqi , & Dr. Jaye Gardiner share our thoughts/advice today at 3pm ET / 12p PT. There will also be time for Q&A. Registration link in flyer - see you soon!

I’ve been saying it for years but taylor swift is my therapist

"The traits I once tried to suppress shape how I think, work, and move through the world. I’ve stopped believing I need to blend in to belong." #ScienceWorkingLife scim.ag/3J9bjoK

Are you an early-career researcher using Drosophila in your work? Don’t miss your chance to join FlyCROSS — the global mentoring program designed to help fly researchers take off in their careers. #Drosophila the Node Are you an early-ca biopatrika.com/career/jobs-in… via Biopatrika

Thanks for sharing the #FlyCROSS mentoring program Biopatrika - really appreciate the wonderful advertisement! #Drosophila #earlycareer #phdlife #academictwitter

I GOT THE NOTICE OF AWARD FOR MY F31!!!! This has been a long time coming (I applied last August and told I was being recommended for funding in December), so it is a huge relief to finally get it!

#Drosophila community in the US and non- EU countries, please donate to help us support #Flybase. People behind the scenes have put in incredible effort over the past few months - as someone who has seen some of it first hand at #IUBloomington, they deserve all the praise.

We are looking to fill the shoes of our lab manager/technician who is starting medical school Monday! If you know someone who might be interested and is passionate about the biology of aging, let them know they can apply here: wisconsin.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/UW_Madison/job…

I am honored to announce that I have joined Kansas State University as an Assistant Professor of Plant Synthetic Biology in the Division of Biology. I am looking for a Graduate student and Postdoc interested in plant lipid biochemistry for my lab. Email me @ [email protected]

Thrilled to add a milestone to my academic journey—an MBA from BITS Pilani. Looking forward to applying these learnings alongside my work as a scientist and as head of research facilities at National Centre for Biological Sciences . Grateful to friends, peers and family for all the love and support

A big component of being successful is learning how to work with people, navigate personalities, and pick your battles. It's not a skill that can readily be taught, but self-awareness is a big component. The sooner we can teach trainees this, the more successful they will be 🌟

Applications are open for ECLP and Peer review training program with GSA. Highly encourage graduate students and postdocs to apply! genetics-gsa.org/career-develop… genetics-gsa.org/career-develop…

Please mark your calendar for the InDRC 2025. Registration and abstract submission opening SOON! Gear up Fly Folks for the three days of immersive science and networking.

Why do we age? Evolutionary theory of antagonistic pleiotropy (AP) suggests: genes that enhance reproduction early in life often harm survival later. Is their evidence in humans? We asked do early menarche & early childbirth accelerate aging? 1/n elifesciences.org/articles/102447

As my laboratory begins its 24th year at Indiana University I am grateful to all of the past and present PhD students, research associates, and postdoctoral fellows that have joined me in my quest to discover how the compound eye of Drosophila develops.

This is so true #phdlife
