PhD students fare worse in terms of mental health than their peers not pursuing graduate studies. At least 80% of this health disadvantage is attributable to the time in the PhD program suggesting that doctoral studies causally affect mental health. jtag.se/pub/workingpap…
It’s very important that “white-passing/presenting” individuals from marginalized communities recognize their “privilege” in a racially and ethnically discriminatory society. We are not all treated the same. Therefore, we also do not respond to society the same way.
NO parental leave AT ALL at @UWMadison... Compare universities here: aaronclauset.github.io/parental-leave/ That shameful policy obviously puts young female scientists (graduate students, postdocs, assistant professors...) at a great disadvantage. This needs to change.
If you are on the job market, don’t forget to ask about paid parental leave. IMO, even if you aren’t planning on being a parent, it says a lot about how the institution values the humanity of their employees

I am 100% officially convinced that this plasmid confers the ability to metabolize sucrose in laboratory E. coli and that this can be used as a positive selection tool for antibiotic-free molecular cloning. Top 2 rows M9-Glucose. Bottom 2 rows M9-Sucrose. CscA well is plasmid. 🥳

Probably my biggest highlights of 2023 were the birth of my son and securing a faculty position. While there won't be any more new clones added (I hope 🤣), I'm excited to start my lab this year. 👨🏾🔬🧬 Wishing everyone a successful 2024!!
Thinking to add a free text comment box for applicants to-optionally- indicate anything about themself they want session chairs to know- eg- “teacher at a Primarily Undergraduate Institution” or- “never spoke at ICAR” Does this sound useful? Any other ideas you want to share? 4/4

Perhaps it’s worth mentioning now, given the news of three Palestinian students that were shot in Vermont while wearing their keffiyehs (same scarf I’m wearing here, which I’ve worn for years), that I recently was spat at while walking home from MIT wearing it and told “fuck you”
Postdoc Ubadah Sabbagh’s journey from Syria to MIT has been marked by determination, courage, and curiosity. “For me, a scientist is a person who is not only in the lab but also has a unique perspective to contribute to society,” he says. mitsha.re/SSkF50PRZiM
