Why graduation ceremonies for grad students can be kind of weird It’s normal for the ceremony to feel like a letdown, our Experimental Error columnist (@adam_ruben) writes. #GradStudents #PhDChat #ScienceCareers brnw.ch/21wJAXU
Scientists, it’s OK to be well-rounded Exploring other interests doesn’t make you less of a #scientist, our Experimental Error columnist @adam_ruben writes. brnw.ch/21wGwDS
And now a roundtable industry 🧑💻 vs academy 🧑🔬 with @adam_ruben, @rita_smendes, and @LancaTelma
This month's Experimental Error column in @ScienceCareers is a special Halloween poem about a late night in the lab. Enjoy. science.org/content/articl…
The yEFIS Career Webinar Series continues with our next guest, @adam_ruben, who is a multi-talented comedian, storyteller, TV host, and molecular biologist. We'll be discussing alternative career choices on June 22 at 17:00! Register at tinyurl.com/yefis3
In my Experimental Error column in @ScienceCareers this month, I discuss how a renowned university set aside postdoc housing--then made most postdocs ineligible for the housing. science.org/content/articl…
The tenure track isn't for everyone. Advanced training in science should broaden career options, not limit them.@adam_ruben's article humorously captures the perplexity of leaving academia. Relatable! Check it out: lnkd.in/dSNZYjXh #beyondacademia #career #PhD #postdoc 💡
Your nonacademic career is not a consolation prize Our Experimental Error columnist @adam_ruben shares how he navigated doubts about leaving #academia. fal.cn/3xU7u
The title of my column in @ScienceCareers this month speaks for itself: science.org/content/articl…
Also really enjoyed @adam_ruben's science comedy tonight to end the day and kick off the evening. Thanks for the entertainment to get the social going for tonight!
The man who saved pinball gets his Hollywood moment. Reluctantly (@adam_ruben - @washingtonpost) redef.com/item/6421c8cd4…
Just published an article in the @washingtonpost about a great new film by the Bragg brothers, profiling Roger Sharpe, the man who saved pinball: washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2023…
In this month's Experimental Error column in @ScienceCareers, I had the honor of helping judge the annual "Dance Your PhD" Contest: science.org/content/articl…
Big thanks to @ScienceMagazine and more thanks to the judges: Renée Jaworski, Emily Kent, Matt Kent (all at @Pilobolus), Carl Flink, Katrien Kolenberg, Jonathan Eisen (@phylogenomics), Alexa Meade (@AlexaMeadeArt), Adam Ruben (@adam_ruben), Sydney Skybetter (@sydneyskybetter)!
Everyone seems to be talking about ChatGPT, so in this month’s Experimental Error column in Science Careers, I discuss what it means for scientists: science.org/content/articl…
The largest strike in the country started today, and I wrote about it in my Experimental Error column in @ScienceCareers this month: science.org/content/articl…
In this month's Experimental Error column in @ScienceCareers, I discuss something I've heard from a lot of people--that they feel strangely empty after defending their dissertation. science.org/content/articl…
My Experimental Error column in @ScienceCareers this month is about scientific journal articles with funny titles: science.org/content/articl…
My column this month in @ScienceCareers is a reaction to the now-infamous UCLA job post for a "without salary" professorship: science.org/content/articl…
