Understandable that faculty have a myriad of opinions about email, but if we're talking about thesis committees, the central, difficult, question is:
What do you, as a faculty member, do when a student whose committee you are on complains to you about abuse from their advisor?

An incredible bit of Taiwanese engineering!

Did I have a productive day? No.
But did I at least come up with a plan and start to hit my stride? Also no.

Massive database of PhD fellowships you should apply to. Having a fellowship provides you with more freedom to pick your lab and topic of research for your PhD.
Here we list 197 different types of PhD fellowships: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding…

I've been guilty of plenty of East Coast bias in the 15+ years I've lived here, so I'm not one to talk. But if DC or NYC were dealing with a temperature spike equivalent to what the Pacific Northwest is experiencing, it is almost literally all you'd be hearing about right now.

For incoming grad students, don’t let academia convince you that in order to be successful you have to put your work, research, publications, etc. above all else. I experienced so much loss during grad school & I’m grateful I didn’t put anything above my loved ones.

Having a uterus means even the @WHO believes your autonomy matters less than a fetus (or, in this case, a possible fetus).
No, people of “childbearing age” & potential should NOT be prevented from drinking alcohol…bc they are *checks notes* ACTUAL ADULT HUMANS & not incubators.

Many of yall are awaking to a day off for a holiday you never celebrated before.
I've celebrate #Juneteenth #JubileeDay my entire life. I love the parades that many major cities have, but we also had personal family traditions too. Here's my family's approach.

Juneteenth is literally a day that commemorates the fact that Black folks were still enslaved 2 years AFTER slavery had officially ended. You cannot make Juneteenth a federal holiday without paying reparations.

51 senators can seat a Supreme Court justice but 54 senators can’t establish an independent commission to investigate a violent insurrection in their own damn building. – at Manhattan, NY

This is not about fetal life. It is about hating women and believing them to be irresponsible, sinful, deceiving and murderous. Those who support this kind of thing must be run from office. Their beliefs must be marginalized and made a source of stigma for those who hold them.

I hope we collectively get to the point where we’ll stop equating an Ivy League education with superior intellect.

Today is #WorldIBDDay. I’m fairly open about my #IBD & wild ride the past yr. Last May, after 6 y remission, I suddenly flared, worst pain of my life. 3 hosp stays & many procedures later, dx changed #UC 2 #Crohns. Now 1.5 mo into new treatment plan, finally feeling better!
