    If you would ever like advice on negotiating a raise, promotion, or compensation for a new job, I am happy to help. Optional consulting fee: Buy me a drink sometime. Real consulting fee: Pay it forward when you can. Ahem, a thread.

    A rad perspective indeed.

    Replying to @JeanneGarb
    Doing sth for 6 years, then the same thing for another 4 years, and then the same thing for another 30 years is easy. But leaving the beaten path and building sth from scratch is the very definition of “hacking it”.

    Yes, the overworked and underpaid sentiment is definitely true for scientists. And for teachers. And for administrators. And for journalists. And so on. But I'm not seeing how this context has to imply superiority to other professional roles.

    Replying to @JeanneGarb
    Scientists have to believe that their job is the best in the world, and that they are the best at it. Otherwise, why would they put up with the poor pay and conditions?

    Well, I think I identified a shared nerve on the twitters today. Thanks for the abundace supportive messages!! (I should also qualify that this certainly does not apply across the board - there are many who value the efforts - though this feeling is in the air nonetheless)

    Somehow, using my scientific training to build a fairly successful science outreach program from almost scratch is often viewed by colleagues as "she couldn't hack it," and while I'm proud of my work, there's a little piece that wishes those around me saw this as valid, too.

    "Surveys —including our own— suggest that too many senior scientists see a career outside academia after a PhD as a failure"🤦🏻‍♀️I know many 'failures' build incredibly successful careers and make significant contributions to the scientific enterprise.

    Stem cells have a knack for fending off viruses, including dangerous ones like dengue and zika. The has gained new insight into stem cells’ curious defense strategies, knowledge that could fuel the development of drugs against a range of diseases.

    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 getting asked this question more and more as people realise that many of their projects involve ongoing collaboration. How do you define what a community manager does?
