📢 Upcoming Defense! Best wishes to William as he defends next week! @willdoscience
This thread is based on a gaming industry convention, but most of this advise is also good for scholars traveling to the US from abroad for conferences.
Amazing Black in Biophysics symposium today co-chaired by @airstreets and @jerelleaj and featuring @cobarnes27, @DrJ_RNA, @sharondaleblan7, and @ColecraftL. What an inspiration, all! Thanks BPS Pres @taekjip (in foreground)!
I've been reworking some of the lab's 3D printed components. I've got one running over the weekend. Any bets on whether I find something like this on Monday morning?

Adams et al reveal that cardiac conduction is biphasically related to #perinexal separation, & ephaptic coupling is an important determinant of #CardiacConduction. Learn more at ahajrnls.org/48Jo5ms @willdoscience @poelzing_lab @nanocardiology @D_RyanKing
I had the pleasure of overlapping some with Ubadah during his time at @FralinBiomed. I was impressed by him every day then, and I grow more so everytime I learn more of his story..

Oh right. Grad students only get student health support during the school year. Having a physical physical or mental health crisis over the summer costs an extra $104. Because so very many grad students are <checks notes> required to work summers just like normal.
I know, in theory, that our immigration system is broken, but hearing stories like this remind me of just HOW broken.
This is horrific, and heart breaking, and just plain wrong.

On #internationalasexualityday this is your reminder that I am Ace. Asexuality is a loosely defined as a lack of sexual attraction. This is distinct from aromanticism, which is a lack of romantic attraction. If you want to know more, feel free to ask me. them.us/story/what-doe…
Happy #AceDay ! And Here's a set of Aces Wild about Gender Feels/Nonsense #InternationalAsexualDay
ADHD can cause deficits in working memory, the short-term memory you use to track information for tasks and cognitive activities. You simply can't hold the same amount of working data as neurotypical people.
The tireless work of the graduate students has paid off! Despite major opposition, we have convinced enough of the UC to vote yes and committ VT to providing a livable wage for all grad students! We did this and we did it together so fucking congrats to us 🎉
New way heart cells activate
IMPORTANT REMINDER Tomorrow (3/21) University Council will vote on CGPS&P Resolution 2021-22 D (the living wage resolution). The meeting will take place at 3:30 pm in Pamplin 1045 and on Zoom. The Zoom link is bit.ly/UCMAR21.
Hey @RunBlueRidge. Why exactly is gender a required field to volunteer at an aid station? And if for some reason it has to be, why isn't there at minimum a "prefer not to answer" option?
I feel disgusted RN. We're fighting hard to raise GRA/GTA stipend with @VTGPSS as we have more than 30% food insecurity among the grad students @virginia_tech.Then this guy asks to defer the discussion in a meeting with more than 400 people! Not even going to talk about it?!😡
