Unfortunately, I'm writing this to warn my fellow women in science and #academia. I was recently sexually harrassed online by academic biostatistician #RyanImgrund, who gained notice for his work on Canada's #COVID-19 statistics.

When you buy a gun, you’re shown pictures of gunshot victims.
If your neighbor suspects you of buying a gun, they can call a hotline.
If you’re from a state where guns are illegal, you can be arrested if you buy a gun out of state.
Oh sorry, these are all abortion laws.

Michelle Obama on Harris: "She understands that most of us will never be afforded the grace of failing forward… we will never benefit from the affirmative action of generational wealth."
One more thing. He might be using his own kid to create a fake account to look younger so he can msg and groom potentially underage women and girls. #RyanImgrund did msg me on here as well before blocking me (after I told him to stop contacting me or I'd report him). – at Memphis, TN

Maybe it’s because of my cardiac arrest, but I don’t understand why patients get upset when I say their symptoms are due to aging. 95% of what I diagnose is because we get old. I always bring it up as delicately as possible, but like do you know how lucky you are? I see patients in their 80s and think, “man I hope I get there one day.” So many things in this world can kill you. You’ve beaten the odds. Honestly, congratulations, you’re old.

There must be a German word that encompasses the simultaneous feeling of relief and dread.
Google recommends Weltschmerz 🤔

There's apparently a list going around of words only chatGPT uses but not used in real life. I read the list...its FULL of words I actually use IRL and in my writing. Especially "delve" or "embark". 😅 Do I really need to take out these words so people don't think I used chatGPT? – at Memphis, TN

I think something that's missed here is that many want to stay in academia but if you can't afford a decent life and support a family they literally can't stay in academia. So tired of the narrative that it's about priorities as if some of us are just OK without healthcare, etc. – at Memphis, TN
New data released by the U.S. National Science Foundation underscore concerns that the academic community is facing a postdoc shortage and that early-career scientists are increasingly favoring higher paid positions outside academia. @ScienceCareers scim.ag/6nW

Most PhD students & postdocs I know who are financially stable are the ones who rely on their SO to bring in the $ that affords decent living. That and/or they come from financially stable backgrounds & don't live with a chronic health issue or use their partner's insurance – at Memphis, TN
