Wait I was told repeatedly that Americans can’t do these jobs? 🤔

@YountLabOSU @NeurobioGirlPhD These people are not there to run your science, they are there to advance their own careers! You shouldn’t ask how you can keep them longer, but rather how you can help them transition into a long-term, viable career. That is your job.

@NeurobioGirlPhD I did not ask why. I actually explained why (higher salary and path less uncertain). Doesn't mean I can't be sad or frustrated about good people moving on from my lab. I was trying to add to the conversation that we need to do better in making academics a more desirable career.

Had my 3rd long-time lab member in the past year leave for a job in industry. I'm always happy for the success of my trainees, but how does academia compete with double salary and a much clearer path to advancement?

@YountLabOSU @NeurobioGirlPhD These jobs (with virtually no chance of advancement, no agency, and abysmal salaries) are not careers. You are “sad or frustrated” that people are leaving these temporary positions behind and enter real careers. Sounds a bit tone deaf.

Looking forward to discussing my book virtually at University of Toronto’s Elahé Omidyar Mir-Djalali Institute of Iranian Studies this Friday at 1:00 PM EST. Join us! @EdinburghUP

@arjunrajlab @monica_rieth I wholeheartedly disagree. It is called „pathway to independence“. If you are independent by the time you receive the award it doesn’t serve its intended purpose. Problem is the high expectation of productivity which biases towards ‚senior’ postdocs who are ready to move on.

@monica_rieth I agree completely, take the job. I am lamenting the fact that they got this award and should be able to take it with them as they start said job, not have to give it up due to administrative nonsense.

Every time I see K99* *declined due to acceptance of faculty position I wonder again what the goal of that program was in the first place.

@Vilcek @Planaria1 @echouchani @InLiuOfBulkExps Congratulations, Shixin!

@MaxThun65549655 @michaelmina_lab @EmoryUniversity @NIH This is not modeling, but actual real binding data for all the mutants!

@michaelmina_lab @EmoryUniversity @NIH What I mean is that we have no idea how good this modeling is until we get the actual real-world data to confirm no change in analytical sensitivity. We need evidence of how solid this modeling is before it has any chance of becoming a golden standard.

Please Note: YES! The current rapid tests *DO* detect all known COVID-19 variants - including BA.5 This terrific paper from @EmoryUniversity and @NIH RADx did a great job at exhaustively evaluating this question AND 1/🧵 cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

@michaelmina_lab @EmoryUniversity @NIH Thanks for highlighting our work, @michaelmina_lab !

Read my analysis of the significance of Iran’s recent protests from a gendered lens, with attention to its history, by drawing from my research on women’s political participation in the country. #MahsaAmini washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…

"This data could inform test design by identifying which diagnostic antibodies should be paired to identify the maximum amount of potential [SARS-CoV-2] N protein variations." @FrankFilipp @NIH @NIBIBgov #RADx nih.gov/news-events/ne…

So proud of our #RADx team’s work @childrensatl @EmoryUniversity @GeorgiaTech in collaboration with @US_FDA that was just published in @JAMA_current demonstrating that kids as young as 4 can adequately swab themselves for COVID-19 testing. Might save a few tears (parents too)!

Woke up this nice surprise today: our paper describing the impact of mutations on SARS-CoV-2 antigen tests is online cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

The Political Science Department at Agnes Scott College in Atlanta, Georgia is hiring. Please spread the word. agnesscott.edu/careers/facult…

At last my book, Women's Political Representation in Iran and Turkey: Demanding a Seat at the Table, appears at my doorstep in physical form and available for pre-order with code NEW30 from edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-women-s-p… (open access coming soon) @EdinburghUP

@BayAreaBioEd @KeystoneSymp Thanks. Here are my slides from that talk: slides.com/jbloom/sars2-k…

Excited to share my inaugural tweet: Ever wondered if your COVID antigen test can detect variants? We evaluated the binding of 17 diagnostic antibodies from 11 tests against all possible mutations in the Nucleocapsid protein (=the antigen): the tests work! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
