Dr. Kristen Navara 🌈

After 18 good years, the time has come to say goodbye to UGA. I start my next chapter in July as chair of the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Kennesaw State University. Here’s to new challenges!

Our department is hiring for 4 faculty positions! Come join a growing and dynamic group of scientists!

The Dept. of Molecular and Cellular is now accepting applications for full-time faculty positions, with preferred a start date of August 2026. Links below. ⬇️

This could be the world's first recorded sighting of a live adult black devil or anglerfish (Melanocetus johnsonii), a deep sea creature in broad daylight and on the surface!!😱

@littleapostate We just laid both LVP (kitchen) and solid hard wood (living room) and I regret the hard wood every day. The LVP is pretty and easy to clean. Agree that grey is on the way out tho.

Me: Oh look a cute house in our price range The floors, every time:

Hey science peeps. Anyone have a recommendation for a company that does full service single cell ATAC-seq? TIA! #academictwitter

@evornithology That or making everything an acronym. Ugh. Help us out and spell it out.

Today's science writing pet peeve: when an author introduces an acronym that they never use thereafter 😡

@WTCryptKeeper @DeeTwoCents Wherewithal

@DrMusingMom @DeeTwoCents It’s typically low IQ individuals that result in insults and name calling. For they do not have the wear with all to actually debate on merit, as so proven time and time again. Good luck with your toddlers tho, sounds like you’re in your comparable IQ group.

So, here is the reality. Everything that you thought would be worse case scenario—double it. There is truly no real bracing for what this full on assault will bring but key things: 1. Try your best to protect your money as a recession if not deep depression is coming. 1/3

@WTCryptKeeper @DeeTwoCents A prime example of the uneducated numbskulls drinking the Kool-aid. I know toddlers that use more brain cells.

@DeeTwoCents Oh no!!!! whatever are we going to do with affordable groceries, the eradication of the constant barrage of rainbow fruit loops trying to castrate our children, secure borders and affordable utilities noooooo!!!!!

Time to start transitioning away from Musk’s lair. You can find me at @momscientist.bluesky.social.

Yesterday, I wallowed. Today, I decorated. In times when distrust and hate and discrimination is rampant, it’s important to show people whom they’re safe with. You’re safe with me. #LGBT #LGBTQIA #KindnessMatters

@jbhodj @HeplerThompson @PamKeithFL *you're

@HeplerThompson @PamKeithFL I know you Democrats live in your little bubbles of denialism and believe the lies that legacy media has been feeding you for years. But at some point your gonna have to face reality

20 or so million votes are unaccounted for. Turn out and vote counts are not aligning. Something is VERY wrong.

this legit must be how katniss felt when they made her do the hunger games a second time

So, we're all supposed to just work the next 72 hours? 🫠

@wareslab @GOP @KamalaHarris Set up a camera, cover the sign in Vaseline, and let that video go viral.

@Nouronal Sounds like a good friend

Dear Prospective students: Sending emails to every professor in a department trying to find any mentor who will take you is not effective. We DO talk to each other. Choose those whose research you are genuinely interested in, and tell us why. That's how you'll get a good reply.
