@FeelingFisky All I wanted were red 💯s at the top of my papers, got sucked into grad school, and now I’m stuck leading biomedical research at Harvard and MIT.

Wow, this is super misleading, as if academics are routinely curing things and handing drugs over for pharma for them to profit with little further investment.

Folks, this is huge! Biologists count on open-source software everyday and yet it is so hard to find funding to support engineers to maintain and develop it. Way to go CZI!! 🎉🎉🎉

@wfithian What’s interesting to me is all of the men critiquing her writing this in the comments. Women don’t get the luxury of career advice dispensed over the water cooler artisanally, and help others by writing in plain language how the system works. And are then called careerist.

ImageJ and CellProfiler: image analysis friends forever! Follow this protocol to figure out how to use them together. We also describe circumstances where you might prefer to use ImageJ instead of CP, as a guide. Supported by @COBA_NIH

Have a PhD but career interrupted? Contact any researcher you admire who has an NIH grant and suggest applying for a re-entry supplement. Many, like me, are happy to host. Please RT!

PSA: the people judging your proposals are probably old and definitely busy. Give them decent font sizes, white space, headings, bullet points, pictures. And no data figures shrunk to oblivion.

I’m finding in the past few years, other reviewers on papers are ALWAYS more harsh than me, that reviewers of my own papers expect too much for the venue I’m submitting to, and I see papers published in venues that seem a notch too “low”. 🧵

@_aaronmiles @mmitchell_ai Do NOT pay for COBRA right when leaving a job! You have 60 days to decide whether to take it *retroactively*. If you get new insurance by then and have no health troubles you’re good! If something major happens & COBRA would help, you can sign up on day 60 & it covers you!
