Dr Amrita Bhattacharya

This announcement would’ve surprised me even just a few months back, but I’m *so excited* to share that I’ve recently accepted a position with Rancho Biosciences as a Scientist!!

@HoorayForZinder Yay!! Congratulations. How exciting

@Kyle_I_PhD Oh my gosh!! Yayyy congratulations 🎉🎊🍾

That amazing paper you spent years on? That amazing breakthrough you had? Very likely you built this following the work of others (very few exceptions), just as others will build off yours. Science is a continuum. Want to leave a lasting legacy in science? Be generous & be kind.

@EvolLetters So exciting to have this published @EvolLetters

Exceptions to the rule: When does resistance evolution not undermine antibiotic therapy in human bacterial infections? doi.org/10.1093/evlett… Now in @EvolLetters by Amrita Bhattacharya, Anton Aluquin, and David A Kennedy.

@cjsewall9 I didn’t really change or delete it. It remains as it was. But maybe I should update it with my current job title and position etc. amritabhattacharya.weebly.com

@flydrocarbon Yup! I had one place ghost me after an in-person, on campus interview! I mean, come on!!!

I would be at least 50% less down/demotivated by the academic job search process if I didn't get ghosted by 100% of searches every year--regardless of how far I make it. yes, ik, PR rules, etc....that does not make the process easier.

This. Part of our goal should be to broaden student’s horizons: - academia can be awesome - pharma can be awesome - biotech can be awesome - consulting can be awesome - teaching can be awesome It depends on the student/trainee and we should present options so they can choose.

Aaannnddd its finally out 3 years and 1 career pivot later So proud to have this published @EvolLetters : academic.oup.com/evlett/advance…

Nice monday morning surprise to see this is finally out! A long time in the making - first submitted in 2021. But so proud of this work and all the effort that went into this!

@thevirdas smashed it @ChicagoTheatre tonight. Authentic, brave and, hilarious. Always so refreshing 🫶🏽🙌🏽

@thevirdas Way to go!! Can’t wait to be there and find out with you!

Not bad for a dishwasher. I’d walk by this theatre on my way to the train home from work. I’d tell you some story about how I dreamt that one day….but that’s bullshit. I’d just think it looked warm inside and I was freezing. 20 years later, I intend to find out.

@thevirdas Can’t wait!! Have had tix since July ‘23!

In 2024 we just packed out the Chicago theatre 🙏 In 2002 I had four part time jobs in Chicago. I washed dishes, was a security guard, dumped chemicals at a paint factory, and worked in an after school kids program. Not complaining. All decent jobs. Paid in cash. I had terrible grades and a theatre degree the year after 9/11. Was happy to have them. I’d walk past this theatre freezing and broke. You work part time, you don’t stay warm very long. And this isn’t one of those like ‘I swore I’d sell it out someday’ stories. Nah, I’d just look at all the lights and I wondered if it was warm inside. I can’t wait to find out.
