Just came back onto twitter to say: UW MADISON STUDENTS this is a reminder that SEG FEES are due A WEEK FROM TODAY (June 18, 2021). Hoping to spare you the pain & injustice of the $100 late fee that I have had to pay almost every summer of graduate school bc I am bad at due dates

If you're interested in learning more about my research or just want to hear me say "ppGpp" over and over again you're in luck! Excited to share what I've been up to in the past year!
MDTP student seminar begins this week!
Our first speaker is @RachelSalemi from the Gourse lab.
Join us at 12:05pm on Wed, Jan 27 to learn about ppGpp.

Thank you @theophelias for spending 833 minutes with me this year on @Spotify. You are my #1! I pretty much only listened to “Almost” for the first three months of quarantine #2020Wrapped

I'm starting my lab at the @UW Dept of Microbiology next month - so excited to be joining a fantastic group of scientists and exploring CRISPR and phages on the west coast! Check out meeskelab.org for positions and more info
Why is my annual salary worth only 3 open-access nature articles. Can someone PLEASE compensate me fairly? 4 open-access nature articles *minimum*! 5 preferred!
The journals will charge authors up to €9,500 to make research papers free to read, in a long-awaited alternative to subscription-only publishing. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

This summer, former and current @UWMadisonMDTP students asked for more efforts toward diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). We still have work to do, but as the Admissions Chair I wanted to note some of the changes we have made in response. (thread) teapaw.org/markjmandel/status/127…
The @UWMadisonMDTP faculty received a letter this morning from current and former students, calling us out for not doing enough for URM students and trainers. They are right. We have work to do. teapaw.org/LouiseHMoncla/status/1…
Kemardo has been the most amazing lab/office mate. It’s been hard doing grad school without seeing him every day. At least he is moving near my hometown so I will get to bug him IRL ~2x a year. If you get the opportunity to work with Kemardo, you’re a very lucky person!
Kemardo Henry @kemardohenry is a student in the Gourse Lab studying bacterial transcription initiation. Check out his latest paper in PNAS!

Upon graduation, Kemardo will be doing a Post-doc at Harvard Med. Congrats!

#BlackInImmuno week. It’s time y’all! Look at this welcome video from our #BlackInImmunoCoFounders and don’t forget about #BlackInImmunoRollCall
If you think science is doing well for its LGBTQ+ members, read the comments on this & think again! My favorite was “and thus scientific rigor died” as if when you put your pronouns on a paper the results somehow become meaningless? Truly a WILD ride.
The Physical Review Journals will now give authors the opportunity to list their pronouns when publishing with us. We believe in a respectful, inclusive, and equitable environment that ensures everyone the opportunity to be successful #LGBTQSTEMDAY go.aps.org/32VW9eS
