Martha S. Johnson, Ph.D.

Being denied things when I know I deserve it is only my motivation to keep going. 🤷🏽‍♀️🙂‍↔️

@QuinaScience @UCIBioSci This is the type of advice they don’t tell us

I really don’t get how they keep getting the wrong address. Rest in Paradise my brother! #RogerFortson Air Force unit in Florida holds stand-down to grieve loss of airman killed in police shooting stripes.com/branches/air_f…

@HeatherDSnell Acknowledgment is good 👍🏾 but authorship I think is a tad bit too much (imo)

Asking for a friend: If you had a lab and you let someone use your electrophysiology rig that you weren't using (so it does not inconvenience you at all) would you expect authorship on whatever paper comes from that data acquired on the rig? Yes? No? Why or why not?

@drstarbird @FASEBorg Congrats soooo amazing

I am so incredibly thankful for this award because it allows me to do science while still being me 🙏🏾 #ScienceMoms Also looking forward to seeing my fellow protein kinase enthusiasts in Ireland @FASEBorg this summer!

Ya know how like in science you have a 💡 Ahhh moment!! Like something finally clicks in your science brain!! Why does my moments always happen in the weirdest places…. Like why am I thinking about cell cycle arrest in the shower 😩😩😩😩 #postdocbrain #postdoclife

@DrMitoOxPhos 😂😂 nah frfr though def be feelin myself

Lol, this is how I be looking and feeling

So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need: 1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks. 2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of. 3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles. 4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops. 5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of. 6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift. 7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care. 8. Sugar and flour are treats. 9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores. 10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some. 11. They rarely get fresh meat. 12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch. 13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef. 14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread. 15. Butter or margarine is nice too. 16. Eggs are a real commodity. 17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake. 18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated. 19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that. 20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing. In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!

#STEMNoire2024 will be our best yet. We just opened our call for session proposals, call for abstracts, and call for abstract reviewers. Black women in STEM, you know what to do 🫶🏽 STEMNoire.org/stemnoire2024

What an interesting thread of PI’s coming up with amazing ideas on how to buffer this increase for postdocs. Kinda sounds like it “CAN” be done 🙃🙃😌 #freethepostdocs
