I find it so disturbing that applicants are concerned about not having publications when applying to graduate school and that some schools weigh this criteria heavily. This inadvertently penalizes talented scientists from circumstances that don’t align with publishing. – at Seattle, WA

As the unfolding ecocide becomes more evident it just seems as though many of us are doubling down on our destructive lifestyles. It's the result of not having a cohesive culture in place that encourages rationing/sharing/minimalism, nor promotes sacrificing for the greater good.

Yesterday was the busiest day for commercial aviation that we’ve ever tracked. We tracked 134,386 commercial flights on 6 July and today is shaping up to be another busy day. More than 20,000 flights are in the air right now.

Implying that people who wear masks do so because they are anxious about catching Covid is like saying people who look both ways before crossing the street are anxious about getting hit. For those who know the dangers of Covid it is as natural and automatic as putting on a coat.

So the Supreme Court decided that forgiving the student loans of struggling Americans is unconstitutional but forgiving the PPP loans of millionaires like Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Green is not.

Yes, and usually the "givers" are the women, who experience no reward when they give and backlash when they don't.

Toxic cultures exploit generosity. Takers impose extra work on givers, and no good deed goes unpunished. Healthy cultures reward generosity. People protect givers from takers, and cream rises to the top. Helpfulness is not a weakness to target. It's a strength to safeguard.

What’s become apparent in the last few years to me, is that a lot of people find the idea that they should have a responsibility and obligation to other people around them, highly oppressive. It’s a level of egocentrism that even children would be admonished for.

Now that I have 100K followers, I want to talk about #OvarianCancer. Specifically my gritty story. The goal is awareness. I hope you find this narrative informative.

So, to each of you (and as a reminder to myself) I say this: • ALL BODIES ARE BEAUTIFUL BODIES • YOUR BODY IS AN INSTRUMENT, NOT AN ORNAMENT • BEFORE YOU COMMENT ON SOMEONE'S OUTSIDE, CONSIDER YOUR INSIDE • COMPARISON IS THE THIEF OF JOY Let's be kind to each other. /6

I'm very fortunate to live in a state that voted to affirm trans rights by a 2-1 margin, but other states are effectively making it illegal to be trans, with severe penalties in some cases. Allies nationwide really need to help do their part. Now.

Grad students should not be allowed to go into their doctoral defense unless their advisor (and committee) plans to pass them. #AcademicTwitter

Thank you so much for sharing. I have found in academia that when ambition is not matched by ability, bullying often ensues...Sadly, this often forces out the most talented researchers who are in academia for the right reasons and who otherwise could make a change for the better

Too many people mistake bullying for confidence… or worse… leadership. It works in politics and business as well.

"Bullying is a means for mediocre scientists to rise to the top. Some star academics reached their position because they are bullies, not in spite of it." - Excellent piece about bullying in academia (and really any other professional environment). nature.com/articles/s41562-0…
