I’m just a prof. Standing in front of my calendar. Wishing my colleagues would send invites. Instead of weeks of meeting plans in a Word doc attached to an email..

If you want to increase the number of women in academia, you need to change the academic culture. Hiring more women, quotas, etc. won't work. It's primarily the toxicity that is chasing us away. @AcademicChatter

Undergrads! No one told me so I'm telling you. Did you know you can get flown out, offered lodging & PAID to do summer research (even w/ no experience)? First, I want you to learn these two terms: REU=research experience for undergrads SURF=summer undergrad research fellowship

You'd think that if everyone thinks kids need school, that they'd care about the adults that are working with kids. #backtoschool

Professors are “reluctant” because we’re not being protected and none of us signed up to put our lives on the line just so that students can be physically in the room with us while we lecture

Next year will be tough, but kids need us. We must be our best selves. Be sure to take time to rest. 🙌

I'm a professor, and when pundits say that my colleagues and I should enforce social distancing among students, all I can think is: I can't even get them to read the syllabus.

Approaching the end of the 1st year of my PhD, one piece of advice above all else: Pick a PhD not based on university reputation or department success. Pick a PhD based on the supervisors you will work with. Supervisors you feel comfortable with make a huge difference ❤️
