It's not okay to offer funding where the recipient uses their own money first and is reimbursed later. This barrier puts serious pressure on those in less privileged positions. Many struggle (silently) or lose out completely. Reduce inequity by offering resources up front.

Making a return to #SICB2024 this year with a talk on the morning of Jan 3rd in the Vertebrate Morphogenesis and Evolution session! Looking forward to chatting with old and new colleagues and building connections for the new lab. If you're going, reach out! I'd love to say hello in person!

Sent a cold email this morning that resulted in a phone call where I was told me dream project is not only doable, but it will also cost a fraction of what I originally thought! I'm so excited to get this going!

Hello all! I'm Katie, and I study the molecular evolution of various traits (fin variation, response to pressure, microbiome establishment) in fishes! I've just moved to Tulsa, OK to open my lab and look forward to connecting with others here!
Science on Bluesky is growing rapidly!
Science friends, introduce yourselves below and I’ll share! Who are you? What do you work on? Where are you based?
I’ll go first. I’m David, and I study sharks and their conservation. I’m based in the Washington, DC area.

“A caring supervisor not only nurtures their students’ development but also provides guidance and mentorship to help them effectively communicate their work with their intended audience. Publishing our work is not just a choice; it is our responsibility as scientists.”
I just published: People, not papers? A good mentor guides students to publish their work #AcademicSky link.medium.com/9a2WGeSsfDb

Genetics/EvoDevo Faculty- what grants do you recommend for new faculty? This could be ones that are only available in your first x years and I shouldn't miss out on or ones that you just found useful for getting things started. I'm trying to get a list going!

Are you a future grad student, or do you know a future grad student, who is interested in genetics, evodevo, and/or fish? Tell them to check my new lab out! katelynmika.com I have funding and am looking for grads to start in fall 2024. Happy to chat and answer any questions you might have!

As much as I love a new computer, re-installing all my analysis programs so they run with the updated operating system might kill me.
