    So this is ungood. Men and women both can't name woman leaders in tech.

    91.7% people surveyed said they could not name a woman leader in tech Out of 8.3% that said they could, half actually couldn’t Out of the ~4% that could, a quarter named Siri/Alexa In comparison, 57% were able to name a male leader I don’t have enough 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄 for this

    Yesterday I got to spend time in the Hebets lab with one of my favorite past undergrad coauthors (Tyler Corey: ) who is now a badass grad student and pro. I also got to spend some time with this 8-legged beauty. Photo cred:

    Studying spiders is a lot like studying microbes: the public generally hates your beloved system. If you are into arthropods, , , and inspiration, you should be following the Hebets lab and their work with “Eight Legged Encounters.”

    It was an honor to give this lecture. I had an amazing time meeting with the faculty, students, & postdocs of . Such great research going on-from explorations of soil crust fungi & crop microbes, to microbe fuel cells and understanding the defenses of spiders (using lasers!)

    Worked with a color blind colleague in a high throughput lab for a while, we labeled tubes using shapes rather than streaks of colors. Was essential to him working there.

    I love work so much! Talk about a microbial revelation :)

    The microbial world lives all around us - on our skin, in our bodies, and in our homes - and now you can see it in 's new exhibit “Microbial Life: A Universe at the Edge of Sight" cc:

    I would like to call attention to this inappropriate behavior. I am striving to do on the beauty of microbes in our world. This company is coopting it in a way that i beleive instills fear. I respectfully ask that this company stop this practice.

    Barb’s new year’s resolutions; 1. Research like there’s nobody watching; 2. Submit to journals like she’s never been hurt; 3. Speak up in meetings like there’s nobody listening... 4. And keep taking care of herself.

    Question for science (education): what’s your favorite smell? (No wrong answer!) thanks in advance!!! This is for future work, not research.

    Valuable life lessons in there for academics at all stages of life :)

    I posted a few "Postdoc musings" on the community. Those of you finishing up your doctoral work this spring might find useful. Would love to hear about other people's experiences too!

    Pizza is great in a kitchen, but would be gross to see in a nursery. Context is always key. No better example exists for me than this smelly microbe. It gives our feet its sweaty smell & also imbues cheeses w/that same mouth-watering aroma. Gross in one context, lovely in another

    I’m loving this thread and all the contributors! I had not spent enough time thinking about how small details (described by others here) could make a more inclusive lab space. I don’t want something as mundane as labeling keeping a great scientist from the field.
