Ten simple Rules for making good Oral Presentation

Toxicity: dosage AND route of exposure.

💧Water
Good to ingest at certain levels.
Toxic if small dose is inhaled.
(toxic if you ingest too much)

🐍Snake venom
Can be fatal if small dose is injected.
Pretty harmless if you ingest it.

Claims w/o context are used to scare you.

So happy for you !!! 💓

It was wonderful to see the Seminar Room so busy yesterday for our Student Presentation Day!

Congratulations to everyone who presented, especially Elizabeth Horton (Rehwinkel Group), Isaac Walton (@Wilkie_Lab) and Joseph Hamley (@jdavieslab) who have been shortlisted for the

Back by popular demand! The #MetGala as things seen in science…

First up, Cynthia Erivo as dark field microscopy blood cells:

everyone reply with something really embarrassing you’ve done at a conference so i can feel better about myself

-Experiments will be failed
-Manuscripts will be rejected
-Grant applications will be rejected
-You will feel that you're not good enough

These are common things in academia & you're not alone. Important thing is to realize when to ask for help!

Married women of academia - did you change your surname? I'm thinking of taking my husbands name for personal life but keeping mine for academia, interested to know what most people do! #AcademicTwitter Academic Chatter™

The thrill of attending a conference and geeking out with fellow researchers who actually understand your work.

We were thrilled to be University of Oxford today to present Grace Meaker with her The Physiological Society Prize and meet with others from Department of Physiology Anatomy & Genetics (DPAG) who applied for this year’s STEM for Britain award. Grace won the award STEM for Britain 2024 for her ‘Sticky stem cell’ project.

It’s Sunday. Take a break. Go for a walk. Get yourself a hot drink. Watch your favourite show. Make sure you are looking after yourself.

tiny things i wish i did during my PhD:
• celebrating small wins
• writing more regularly
• being nice to more people
• stop checking email at night
• meal prep more
• always take meeting notes so PI can't gaslight me
• learn to say 'no' to work irrelevant to dissertation

Associate Professors Betty Raman and Adam Wilkinson have both won an eight-year Wellcome Career Development Award to further their research in cardiovascular medicine and stem cell biology respectively. rdm.ox.ac.uk/news/wellcome-…

PASTEL SHADES ALL THE WAY

Neil Gaiman’s story about imposter syndrome rewired my brain.

Every conference I've ever been at
....

Overwork lose-lose: Study (N=230) finds when a woman does the same amt & quality of work in 40 hrs as a man does in 60 hrs, the man receives greater rewards. And if the women works 60 hrs, the 60-hr men are more 8% more likely to receive overwork rewards.

Self-doubt stops too many women from applying for jobs.

After clearing the bar for expert-level work, 92% of men applied—but only 50% of women did.

It shouldn't matter whether you feel qualified. That's for the employer to judge. If you're interested, put your hat in the ring.
