I find it so disturbing that applicants are concerned about not having publications when applying to graduate school and that some schools weigh this criteria heavily. This inadvertently penalizes talented scientists from circumstances that don’t align with publishing.

šŸŽ‰ My first big blog post after my parental leave is out! And yes, it's about color; and how smart data vis designers use it to create smart design hierarchies. Plus, I'll show you one of my fav charts (again): blog.datawrapper.de/emphasiz…

Very proud of my better half! I may be biased, but you won’t find a better student advocate and creative thinker when it comes to science.

The @COVIDSelect committee's purported investigation into the origins of the coronavirus has included baseless allegations against our nation’s scientists and public health experts. We need the facts - the reckless, inaccurate, and irresponsible attacks need to stop.

I watched part of the select subcommittee meeting, including Dr Wenstrups closing statement. This is just horrendous. Tribunal is a mild description here. I am impressed by the professional attitude of my colleagues who were ā€œ interrogatedā€, at times as crooks. Sad day in US
