@AsherLeeks @ZoologyUBC @UBC @UBCBiodiversity So exciting!!

I am absolutely delighted to be joining the University of British Columbia next year as an Assistant Professor @ZoologyUBC. We will study social evolution in viruses.

I am hiring a Postdoctoral Researcher to study the comparative biomechanics & thermal effects of chameleon feeding! See attached flier for more info & contact me directly with questions! Official job add & application portal: yourfuture.sdbor.edu/postings/39208

Prospective students looking for labs in Fall 2024 - watch this sheet for a list of PIs who are recruiting but be sure to do your due diligence in vetting the PI/lab/program! docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

Top of my mind right now:

@FromPhDtoLife Make your writing goals in paragraphs not pages, papers, or sections. A paragraph a day means you have a section draft in a week & a full MS draft in a month. Plenty fast for a new writer. Micro-goals, so small that they feel unimpressive on any single day. Let them add up.

If you had to give one piece of advice to a recent or current PhD student, what would be your tip to help them prepare for career success?

Join our lab! Fully funded MSc position studying bowhead whale diet and foraging ecology 🐋🔬🚢. Please RT.

Looking to interview inspirational scientists from the LGBTQ+ community For publication during Pride Month🏳️‍🌈 If you have someone in mind, please send them my way! P.S: you don't have to have done a tonne of advocacy to be inspirational!❤️🙂 #ScienceTwitter #phdchat

@Au_Erithacus @MuddyGirlFarm @BiologyCarly Additionally, I don’t think there is any problem with you, Aurora, deciding to face the issues in a more direct way if you feel safe to do so. I commend it. I firmly defend any non-man’s right to deal with the issues in the way they see appropriate. You go girl!

@Au_Erithacus @MuddyGirlFarm @BiologyCarly But hiding does prevent more problems from being created. Problems that each woman has a right not to want to deal with. What ‘complaining’ on Twitter does is get a conversation going so that we can address the issues broadly w/o making any lone woman sacrifice herself to them.

You know when you're a woman who just did something awesome but you need to play it down so the men in your life don't pout?

@BiologyCarly I’m not a man. You can can boast about your accomplishments to me! (Seriously, tell us what you did so we non-men can celebrate you.) ❤️❤️❤️

@sakrejda @jonpetrychyn @docfreeride Ah I understand now. The way this sentences was structured ‘Ask people who review to submit and find out what it takes to get them published?’ I thought you were saying reviewers need to find out. You meant the editor. My misunderstanding. We actually agree with each other. 👍🏻

@jonpetrychyn Maybe we make accepting papers contingent on complete a number of quality reviews within an assigned period? People who review regularly for a journal can have those reviews banked. People who don’t have their paper in limbo.

@sakrejda @jonpetrychyn @docfreeride I feel like this is backwards. One of the points of this thread is that women are more likely to spend their time doing free labor. Free labor = less time to publish. Also I am pretty sure reviewers know what it takes to get published, if not, would they be effective reviewers?

@HadasKotek @jonpetrychyn Yes! Exactly! It sounds like men only want to fix the problem if they are getting paid to fix the problem.

@NEAS_algae Is there an up to date east coast key?
