My new video deals with toxic labs and toxic PIs (part 1). I explain what makes a lab or PI toxic and why you should avoid such places despite arguments to the contrary. Part 2 will be about how to spot these PIs. #AcademicChatter #phdlife Academic YouTubers youtu.be/VUXz9EJMAbo

Toxic labs, part 2 is now out: how to spot a toxic lab/ PI during or after the interview. Thanks to everybody who has provided input here on twitter or elsewhere; this video would have not been possible without you! #AcademicChatter The PhD Place #phdlife youtu.be/TVXk2hUo5qA

Professors - talk to students at conferences and events. Not everyone can just walk up and start a conversation. You have status, and it can be intimidating. Create balance. Smile. Introduce yourself. Ask them about their research.

When the stars of the show make you sit for a photo!!! Wow!!

Excited to be at the annual HE Biosciences Education Summit at the University of Liverpool. Can’t wait to hear the exciting things people have been doing. #Biosummit2023

First day teaching the new crop of Bioscience students. Amazingly engaged and enthusiastic bunch!!

I presume this means the banning of teaching radical ideas, such as Evolution, or the Big Bang, or Global Change…?

Immeasurably proud of two undergraduate/just-graduated students, Megan and Jess, presenting their projects at a conference. Both cool, calm and confident as seasoned professionals.
