Agreed! That's why I wrote ggpubfigs, a ggplot2 extension that *only colorblind-friendly color palettes. Easily make your figures colorblind-friendly with ggpubfigs! x.com/NKWhiteman/status/1852…

Now out in @NatMentHealth 🥳🥳🥳 this is the 2nd study of my dissertation with Carrie Bearden, co-led with @dehughes14 💫💫nature.com/articles/s44220-0…

Check out @Sarah_Chang_ 's and my latest preprint: medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…. We investigate the effects of attention and probe the developmental specificity of polygenic signal on psychotic-like experiences in adolescents using ABCD.

Every year I read a lot of grad school applications from accomplished people that don't give me the info I'm looking for. It feels like a major hidden curriculum thing. So here's (my opinion on) how to write a great Statement of Purpose/Research for a PhD program. 🧵 1/

IMO, pubs before grad school reflect luck/timing of a project, a PI's generosity and mentorship, and *could* reflect research capacity. But the first two are absolutely necessary for a pre-grad school paper
An app can stand out for many diff reasons, eg. helping to start a new lab (no papers, new lab), leading diversity and equity initiatives, seeking out REUs/summer research if not at an R01, supporting yourself/family financially, etc...don't not apply if you don't have papers.

My jaws keep dropping as I go through 70 PhD applicant files. People w/ 2 coauthored papers & an interesting solo writing sample don’t even make it to the top 10 in my pile. The level of knowledge, research experience & passion these kids bring to the table is just remarkable! 🤩
