it's official, this punk scientist is gonna go do some PhD-worthy punk science with @BryndanDurham at the University of Florida!

coming on here to say i've officially been accepted into the masters in education program :) and so the double degree journey begins

🌊📣 New C-CoMP blog post: @BryndanDurham and Durham lab members @UF, including C-CoMP Postdoc @NicoleLynnBell1, led a short course on Microbial Life in the Oceans that included oceanographic field work! Photos by Lisa Coe @punk_scientist. Learn more here: tinyurl.com/nc3ccrct

When I defend my PhD, I’m going to include an anti acknowledgements slide. A huge NO THANK YOU to all the things that have stressed me during these 5 ish years.

@ATinyGreenCell @breakliquid looks like the same ones we use at the bar i work at--if so, they're made of agave!

@breakliquid I keep seeing them. Super stealthy strawbin exact wrapper as plastic ones. No label. No info. Just kinda showed up one day. I wanna know the story. Maybe pineapple? No flavor or scent and its has that very familiar plastic bite to it. If i close eyes i cant tell.

I think this is a great solution to plastic straws. As performant as plastic, good flexibility, does not dissolve in minutes, made of plant parts. I hope it can scale.

Check out our latest paper, published in @AppEnvMicro on the key members involved in #diatom #microbiome assembly. Huge thanks to my colleagues and co-authors @AMohamed85 and @DiatomsBacteria. Join me in Bremen at @MarineMicrobio on 12 July to hear more. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ae…

@samoIogy i have! in my experience i had to be extra cautious about wash buffer carryover (blotting dry the edge of the collection tubes after dumping flow through, an extra wash with 70% etoh after the kit wash buffers) but i was working with coral samples that were prone to purity issues

Has anybody used the Qiagen AllPrep kits for RNA extractions? Any useful tips?

@vivosaur congrats queen!!

@emmybryonic @HainerLab ABSOLUTE ROCKSTAR

New preprint from my PhD thesis out now! ✨One of my favorite parts of this paper is bridging the gap between cultures and environmental samples. Looking forward to the review process :)

@FelixJBerrios congrats!!

Wow I really got the GRFP thats insane 😭🫶🏽

If it's your first year on #fellowship as a #gradstudent, #postdoc, or #postbac, read this article! There are several potential tax differences between this type of income and W-2 income. #phdchat #gradschool pfforphds.com/weird-tax-situ…

A procedure for preparing your tax return as a #gradstudent: pfforphds.com/prepare-grad-s… It's not as straightforward as entering all your tax forms into software! You have to tabulate and understand your income and expenses first (some don't appear on tax forms).

If you're tackling your #gradstudent tax return this weekend, make my tax "cheat sheet" your starting point! It orients you to the type(s) of income you've received and the benefits available to you. pfforphds.com/GStaxcheatshee…

If you're shocked and dismayed that your #gradstudent, #postdoc, or #postbac tax return shows that you owe thousands of dollars... This video explains what's probably going on (it's your #fellowship!). pfforphds.com/why-is-my-fell…

I wish I'd found this paper years ago. Table 1 has a straight-up list of golden gate overhangs that work well and play nice with each other, up to a 30-piece assembly. No more choosing four random bases and hoping. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

@MGSerengeti @exeterpsych congrats!!

@CarsonBlack proud of you and here for your journey, carson!

I’m taking a break from my PhD 🩷✨🫶🏼 I initially planned to keep quiet about this decision, but also feel like too many of us get lost in the shame and stigma of “quitting” academia and grad school. If you are having a hard time with your PhD, I see you and I am with you.
