We teach your students
We write your papers
We mark your exams
We supervise your labs
Is this all we are worth?

Quite a lot to unpack there, no doubt it will stir up conversation science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

#Ireland is not a ideal place to do #PhD. No employee status and the stipends are lower than the minimum wage. non-EU researchers like myself face a 1000€ yearly research expense for the residence permit and mandatory health insurance that @scienceirel refuses to reimburse.
Today we sent a public letter to @PhilipNolan_SFI, Director General of the SFI @scienceirel, the largest funder of PhDs in Ireland.
We asked for unequivocal advice to all SFI centres to let non-EU PhDs claim expenses for mandatory insurance and the Irish Residence Permit 1/6

Everyone moving from twitter to mastodon is very likely to fail because it is a collective action problem, benefits depend on others actions.
Here's how it can succeed. It will require your commitment for 1 month to do a few things. Read and retweet if you commit to do them.
Even if the Mastodon migration only affects #academictwitter, it could be a great success.
Social media is like the local pub. The food quality is irrelevant. As long as the people I want to talk to and hear from are there, I'm happy.

I am very proud of this work. We put together publicly available sequencing data (plus more data kindly provided by several colleagues) to perform the first meta-analysis of microbial electro synthesis. Thanks to all coauthors for the great job, and in particular to @s_mills03
Pleased to share this new paper "A meta-analysis of acetogenic and methanogenic microbiomes in microbial electrosynthesis" led by @s_mills03 and @PaoloDess1 in @Nature_NPJ NPJ Biofilms and Microbiomes @Chem_light @ISMETsociety
Read the #OpenAccess paper- rdcu.be/cWam9

I finished my PhD about 2 months ago, and I just want to share that:
*I spent >5 of 6yrs convinced that I was uniquely behind or lost or dumb
*I worked 50+hrs some weeks but 15 others
*Rest and hobbies helped my science
Struggling doesn't mean you don't belong.

Awesome PhD opportunity at one of europe’s premier institutions and with our former group member @ianinaALT who is now heading her own group at @EPFL_en. You will not find a more enthusiastic, proactive and supportive PI to work with. Please RT 🙏 epfl.ch/about/working/phd-po…

Glad to have won the second prize at the @ISMETsociety public engagement day with the “music fuel cell” developed with @carlossanch01. Had quite a bit of fun with that last year!
📢 #ISMETPublicEngagementDay
Congrats to the winners!
🥇@NaokoYoshida14
🥈@PaoloDess1
🥉@PanizIzadi
The prizes will be presented during the @ISMET8_meeting in Chania

✨Exciting things are happening!✨
Last month, after 6 months of hard work by 10 PhD students of the Agape team, our open science course was introduced to the public for the first time at the Innovations in Doctoral Education conference in Dublin 🇮🇪

Noone is perfect. If you look for the bad you will find it. If you look for the good, you will find it. Choose wisely what you look for.

Michigan State University (@MSU_MMG and @msuvets)
just advertised a search for new faculty (Assistant or Associate Professor level). The job description is very broad and exciting.
Please share with your #microbiology peers who are looking for positions: careers.msu.edu/en-us/job/50…

Data shows us that the higher the vaccination rate, the lower the death rate.
