Just a broad reminder that I'm a "man" in the same way that a Muppet is a person. It's not. It's absolutely not. But I can see how you might be confused.

@PracheeAC That emoji usually follows me saying "but that's none of my business", so I guess I use it to say I'm being nosy.

Settle a dispute for me please. What does this emoji mean to you? 👀

@gramnegativity I went back and forth trying to decide if it was worse to leave it out and look like I don't know it should be italic or add [i][/i] and maybe look like I can't use technology. 😭

@PracheeAC I used to think it would magically stop being hard at some point, but I've come to realize it's more of a "yeah, okay, I can roll with that" situation. Godspeed!

@charliejhadley This is super helpful. I've been debating whether it felt honest to include R on my CV because I really only use it for data visualization. To my embarrassment, I hadn't considered just specifying that. Lol 😅

@katiedimartin Obviously! It's right there in your bio. "Having a bad time and being a philosopher all the time, for sure, but don't check or ask any follow-up questions" sends a pretty clear message.

@itatiVCS Student uses mentor's support in a socially and professionally challenging situation - what an absolute monster (/s). I would have done the exact same thing.

So apparently letting your advisor email the faculty member who is getting replaced from your committee is not the move, cause I got 2 emails about it not being correct behavior (and apparently unfair to replace someone who is leaving the uni?)

I wonder if I'll ever stop seeing red at phrases like "with the pandemic thankfully behind us" from people that should absolutely know better

@katiedimartin Fat is such a wild insult like... yeah, you got me. That's a factual statement about the body I inhabit. Do you want a prize for noticing? Lol

I know I've been breaking my "keep my pottery to the pottery Instagram" rule a lot lately but I'm honestly pretty proud of some of the stuff I've been making @/nikkimakespottery on Instagram

I love my project. I love my lab. I am determined to succeed come Hell or high water. I am also determined to rest and spend time on the other things I love. I am determined to respect myself and the quality of my work by not pushing past my healthy limits.

@seis_matters So many of the responses apparently can’t conceive of a person who is excited about doing research and determined to be successful, even in exchange for some amount of personal enjoyment or free time. It is pretty hard to have a productive PhD with a clock-in clock-out mentality.

I want to glue a worm (C.elegans) to a flow cell so that I can flow different concentrations of zinc over it. I want to observe lysosomes in these conditions in the same worm so it has to stick. So far I’ve tried poly-L-lysine and meh. Any alternatives? Please RT!

@katiedimartin I wanna place my bet that this man really wrote a 25 tweet thread to justify his "hot for teacher" fantasy.

@LizWFab However, I think there's a layer of disrespect for the learning community you're in (i.e. prof, other students, TAs) in opting not to engage.

@LizWFab To the professor? Yes, but largely because most students know a professor would interpret the action that way and elected to do it anyway. Like clapping my hands is not disrespectful, but clapping my hands when I've been (perhaps implicitly) asked not to is disrespectful.
