Seeking scientist volunteers! Want to practice science communication and help author a ✨comic✨ about your research? I need collaborators for this spring's cohort of SciComm & Comics art students! Please share widely. #STEMeducation#Science#sciart
ALT Flyer advertising a need for scientists volunteers. "Call for scientists! Want to collaborate with an art student on a comic about your research? Learn more and sign up by Feb 1st." Simple cartoon heads are wearing hats that are designed to look like items symbolic of different scientific disciplines: an aromatic ring, a crystal, an ammonite, and a paramecium.

Alums in the News: Dr. Andrew Chadwick's new book, Part-Time Soldiers: Reserve Readiness Challenges in Modern Military History, will be published by the University Press of Kansas (@Kansas_Press) in November 2023.
My new book offers a reframing of graduate writing: developmental (something that must be learned); difficult (something that is consistently hard for everyone), possible (something worth doing well), and communal (something to be done with others): explorationsofstyle.com/2023…#AcWri
We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Kristyn Lue as a postdoctoral fellow & the @InclusiveGradEd Research Hub Coordinator. An applied mathematician by training, her PhD in education focused on racial equity in graduate education. She brings deep knowledge, translational skill, and 🔥!
when tweets about professors go viral-ish, it convinces me we need a different category for professors like me. first, i'm extremely privileged to have tenure at a small rural university that's not a destination for a number of reasons...
We are excited for this Career Development and Mentoring blog series led by Dr. Divya P Kumar & @Ratnesh_thakur. This series would highlight the career options beyond the research and teaching for science enthusiasts and researchers.

Are you interested in knowing about non-academic career paths in the Indian scientific ecosystem? 🤔
Here we are bringing you this blog series featuring people who have chosen a career path less travelled. @SciSoup
Stay tuned!

Whether virtual, physical or both, connection with community is vital to living your healthiest life. We must work together to ensure all communities have access and connections to affordable housing, education, food and transportation. #NPHW
This statement is a contradiction. You cannot support DC statehood & home rule AND also endorse Congress overturning a local law that has been a decade in the making.
I support D.C. Statehood and home-rule – but I don’t support some of the changes D.C. Council put forward over the Mayor’s objections – such as lowering penalties for carjackings.
If the Senate votes to overturn what D.C. Council did – I’ll sign it.
