It’s been a long road, I am beyond grateful… I know what it means to not have basic needs met and the challenges navigating assistance programs. Hopeful my research will assist at least one person who is seeking a helping hand #SDOH

Article retractions are like a late apology without the apology

@rdpeng @nataliexdean Why especially important in biostatistics?

Dear senior faculty, If you could give your junior faculty self one piece of advice, what would it be? Thanks in advance! Sincerely, A stressed out assistant professor looking for guidance

@jaimiegradus That is just what I needed today, thank you for sharing!

I hope this is helpful to whoever needs to hear it and I’d also love to see additions to this.

I’ve put together my list of top 10 tips for early career researchers and I’m going to share it here as promised. But first a disclaimer...I don’t know everything. This list is based on my experience in academia. I would love for others to add and augment. With that in mind....🧵

What moment from a TV show or film made you laugh more than any other? It was this for me, tears of laughter 😂😂😂 @rickygervais in Extras

@neiltyson Have a PhD and what the heck is “beyond college”?

(7/14) What is (or will be) your final Education Level?

Two Day, 14-Question Anonymous Poll You know who I am. But to communicate with you better, I’d like to learn (statistically) who you are. If interested, what follows is a 14-question (14-Tweet) threaded anonymous poll. Should take you less than a minute to complete. Thank you.

@cesarmillan Started her life chained under a house for years. She is a foster fail but the love of my life! A beautiful breed.

Today is #NationalPitbullAwarenessDay! 🐾Education on this breed is key and just one step you can take to end the stereotype against Pit Bulls! They are so loving and kind. Junior is 15 years old and he changed my life. ❤️ #DogIsLove 📸: @benjaminaskinas

Hoping on the trend.... Search your name in gifs and show me the one that best sums up your year so far. Here’s mine:

@uofcincyGrads @StuAffUC Thank you @DeanRobinUCBA I wouldn’t have even started this journey without you!

An attitude of GRAD-itude! 🎓 Our grads are heading out beyond UC, but they'll never forget the community who got them to their graduation goals. Who helped you get to where you are today? Tag someone who you'd like to thank! @StuAffUC #UCGrad20

@winston_chang How about “find that smell”? And clearly, if you have to ask “what” you haven’t gotten to the LEGO stage.

Thinking about creating a novelty parent-themed twitter account called whatsstucktomyfoot. It would have about 3-5 tweets per day.

@cecilejanssens Knowing I contributed all that I possibly could with the ability, time, and resources I had. Regardless of recognition or outcome.

Imagine you are old and grey and look back on your scientific career. What, *at hindsight* defines a successful scientific career? Any thoughts?

@EpiEllie PhD, finishing it up (hopefully) this year!

Epidemiologists, a question: in your degree program, were methods & concepts from infectious disease epi taught as part of your core corriculum? Answer the poll👇🏼 & then comment with details about your program (was it masters, PhD, or undergrad? How long ago?)
