@minxdragon @matthewthompson @phdstudents I’m on the home stretch now - I have a little over a year to go. Two projects are finished, a third is nearly finished, and the fourth is just kicking off now. I wouldn’t say right now that I’m loving every second of it, but I expect to look back on the experience with great fondness

A post about writing, which is important to me.

Write.

That's it. That's the toot. Don't think of yourself as an aspiring writer. If you just write, then you're a writer. One who writes is a writer, no matter how little or much, good or bad, or any other subjective crap you can come up with.

I have a writing collective. Mostly with folks just getting into writing, writing casually, or hobbying about it. We write, listen, and support. If interested, send me a message. We'll talk.

Lots of great #astrophotography images posted on here over the last few days, here is one of my latest. #NGC7380 #WizardNebula #space #Astronomy #SHO

#PhD students of #Mastodon, I have created a Mastadon group for sharing PhD-related posts using @phdstudents when posting a PhD student toot. Let's help the group to grow and share our PhD student experiences.

may you feel safe and loved and seen on your hardest days. #MentalHealth

As someone whose career benefited enormously from joining Twitter early & building networks far beyond most grad students—I would advise junior scholars to get active on Mastodon NOW—It may not stick—but if it does this is the window for establishing a meaningful presence quickly

@smthomasy a genetic marker for distichiasis in horses. Cool!

I am giving a talk to post-docs at IUB on my academic career trajectory. This is quite different from the talks I've given in the past. If you're a post-doc what would you like to hear from me?

This feels like the first day of school with new tools, new friends and endless possibilities!

Hi everyone, I am new here and learning the platform. By way of background, I am a chemical biologist and glycoscientist on the Stanford Chemistry faculty. Known for creating a field called #bioorthogonal chemistry (for which I shared the 2022 NP) and launching biotech companies with new therapeutic and diagnostic platforms, mostly rooted in glycobiology. Passionate about interdisciplinary science, diversity equity and inclusion in STEM, peanut butter, gyms and 70s funk.

#introduction Hi, I am an Emeritus Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience, with interests in anatomy, neurophysiology, and neuropsychology. My work and publications were on the motor system (motor, supplementary motor, premotor, prefrontal, basal ganglia, cerebellum), using both animals, fMRI with people, and rTMS. I published a monograph on the Prefrontal Cortex in 2021 (OUP). How is that for a self-serving advertisement? I promise, never again. I hope there will be less. boasting here v Twitter.

A proposal for how we could make a Twitter to Mastodon migration actually work (let me know what you think, this is something we could actually do this if people were willing to invest in such a thing):
