- Reposted by Parmvir K Bahia$15k stipend to support 9 weeks of full time summer research! For rising juniors/seniors who are able to travel to and obtain housing at the location of the lab they are placed in! I did an HHMI summer experience in 2013 and it changed everything for me! Apply…or tell someone to apply! 🧪🧠

- You can take the girl out of the lab... Despite leaving the lab more than 2 years ago, last week saw the publication of a study I was co-author on: physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/... An intricate piece of work tracking nerve fibers in the lungs, and a reminder of how long science takes!

- Reposted by Parmvir K BahiaConference organizers: If you want people who work outside of academia (or financially secure company), to give a talk at your conference bc you value their expertise, it's unreasonable to make them pay for registration. Artists/Nonprofit folks do not have the funding to pay you to share expertise.

- I too tend to apply my nerdy capabilities to my hobbies, including running. So I love this little bit on converting miles to km while you're in the middle of a race. Although depending on how much I'm suffering, the even most basic arithmetic can be a challenge 😂 Nice work @joshuabull.bsky.social
- It's a little-known fact that Fibonacci was a keen marathon runner. Okay, he wasn't but he could be an invaluable help if you are a keen marathon runner. @joshuabull.bsky.social is very keen.
- I very much enjoyed thinking about how to present this introductory guide, as well as speaking with IMO folks yesterday about #SciComm. And I may have included one or more melodramatic messages to impress upon people the need for more and better communication 🫣
- An excellent and very comprehensive resource for grad students-to-be!
- It's been a while since I applied to the #NSFGRFP... but over that time I developed this guide based on my experiences and mentoring other students with the NSF-GRFP through Cientifico Latino, Inc. (and otherwise)! 💛 Thank you to John Lê for the additional contributions!!

- Reposted by Parmvir K BahiaThose of us in STEM must vocally affirm that the humanities are our allies, and no department is expendable. Arguing we can survive by cutting whole disciplines isn’t just inhumane, it’s nonsensical. The humanities tell us why we’re here in the first place, and what to do about it! This isn’t hard!

It's literally a vital feature of both science and of representative democracy. I've written a fair bit about trust in expertise as a vital mechanism in the collective epistemology of science.

- This year we wrapped up S2 of Biology in Numbers for @smbmathbiology.bsky.social. I've loved hearing scientists talk passionately about #MathBio. Digging into the data to learn about the podcast’s reach, it seems so do many others. So here is the podcast by the numbers, starting with an intro. 1/2
