Thank you all for your participation so far and your great comments! We seem to really be struggling to reach trainees though- so far only 25% of our sample and we want to make sure they're heard. What are your best methods to reach trainees? @ASCBiology @ASBMB , can you help?
#BioimageAnalysis and #Microscopy communities, the folks @COBA_NIH need your help! We are gearing up our tool building and outreach, but we want your input how best to do that. Please take (&share!) our 10-15 min survey - link more info at the post below forum.image.sc/t/survey-for-…

@GradSlack What advice have you been given about the amount of publications you should get during a thesis to be competitive? I was told >12 during a PhD. #AcademicChatter #phdstudent #phdchat @NewPI_Slack Can anyone sustain that without sacrificing their life & relationships?

Great thread for @GradSlack !
What 3 words describe what you are looking for in a graduate student? Mine might be motivated, systematic, and resilient.

The guide contains tons of things to think about for each of the high level points above, and is color coded by who you should probably talk to first. Best of luck! Twitter compresses large files for preview, so use the link below. Full Resolution PDFπŸ‘‰ tinyurl.com/phd-advisor-look…

My top 2 criteria for choosing an advisor; the second one is on both the mentee and mentor. @gradslack

I see this on the @GradSlack sometimes. If anyone needs to talk or troubleshoot irl at UMich, I can try to help. That said, if you're in a bad spot, talk to your program head if you don't feel supported. I've been there too.

I’m in the middle of reviewing a paper, and it’s been awhile since I’ve reviewed anything so I had to return to my notes on how I do this. So how Lindsey reviews a paper for anyone interested:
