Check me out on PhDTalk!

Check me out on PhDTalk by Eva Lantsoght where I was a part of her How I Work Series. I did this interview back in December so a few things have temporarily changed (i.e. working in lab) but other than that I hope you enjoy it.

Here is the link!

What's PhDetails? "PhDetails is designed to be a blog to share the ups and downs, ins and outs and stories behind biology PhD students from all over the world. We hope to remove some of the mystique surrounding PhDs and give a real insight into what a variety different PhD students did to end up where they are, what they're currently doing with their time, and what drives them."

It was definitely fun to be a part of and easy. Please check me out (here's the link). But don't forget to check out the other profiles and maybe even consider doing it yourself!

What's 46 Questions? They are a blog that is "Making Science Inclusive By Highlighting Those That Do It Via A #46Qs Interview Everyone Gets To Read" [from Twitter bio].

It was definitely fun to be a part of and easy. Please check me out (here's the link). But don't forget to check out the other profiles and maybe even consider doing it yourself!

My Week on @IAmSciComm

My week on @RealScientists

What is a #RoCur?

As I mentioned in My Goals for 2020, I am trying to tweet more and to help achieve that goal I will be curating for @RealScientists and @IAmSciComm. But what I failed to mention is that I'll be curating this week. In fact, I start @RealScientists tomorrow for the week and @IAmSciComm the following starting on the 27th.

What is a #RoCur?

#RoCur or a rotation curation is just the concept of having different people run one account in a rotation system. That's it. It's that simple. It's fairly common on Twitter but has also been done on Instagram and I'm sure other platforms as well.

I think they are incredibly fun to follow because you get exposed to new people all around the world and learn about their experiences and perspectives. I'm personally a huge fan of the science themed accounts.

But there are rocurs for plenty of other topics. For example, @WeRWorld has hosts tweeting from around the world.

And if a rocur doesn't exist for that you want then why not create one? I did. Back in 2015, I started @Neurotweeps which hosts various scientists, grad students, clinicians and other neurophiles to tweet about the brain and nervous system. Although I will warn you it can be incredibly difficult to find people to agree to curate. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU WANT TO CURATE FOR NEUROTWEEPS!
