Great -- my phone isn't receiving phone calls but I'm getting voicemails of the missed calls. WTF. Some of these are important!!

I've wanted to write this article for years. About my and other's struggles to even survive sometime in #academia. Thank you to the amazing editors at @plosbiology.org that gave me the forum to write this piece. #science

I am Krysta, I saved the file, there is no other version, what is happening to me. Is there an alternate Krysta also working on my grant proposal? (Please, yes!)

Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.

If you're preparing to teach some complex or potentially sensitive topics, or just find it useful to educate yourself, @jackiantonovich.bsky.social and I updated our open-access "No Offense? 😬" guide to help folks navigate some common issues in writing and discussion! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Accountability in STEM isn’t a buzzword, it’s action. It means harmful behaviour isn’t ignored. It means institutions investigate, individuals take responsibility, and we all share ownership of creating safer classrooms and workplaces. #womeninstem #womeninscience

If you're interested in splicing in B cells and lymphoma -- let me know! Happy to be at #CCRC2025 and connecting with colleagues from across Canada 🤓

Impressive talk from Dr Marco Marra that shows the promise of precision oncogenomics that builds from BC cancer to @marathonofhope.bsky.social 🇨🇦wide program #CCRC2025

A lot of people underestimated the Blue Jays all season. But this is the best baseball.

This @bluejays.com Stand Up 2 Cancer moment is so powerful:: you can help us #FinishIt in Canada by supporting the Terry Fox Foundation.

Where are my bluesky Blue Jays peeps?? Baseball is the only thought in my brain right now.

Watching the Mariners and Tigers use allllll their pitchers is satisfying.

Dear fellow @translink.ca users: your bag does not need its own seat. You do not need to sit on the outside seat of a pair.

I am beyond excited to announce that ggplot2 4.0.0 has just landed on CRAN. It's not every day we have a new major #ggplot2 release but it is a fitting 18 year birthday present for the package. Get an overview of the release in this blog post and be on the lookout for more in-depth posts #rstats

My eyelid twitch is back. Cannot wait for vacation.

Trying to finish work before vacation but knowing that timing will require working on vacation means... understanding that vacation will not be the panacea I really need. 🤦🏽‍♀️💁🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

Is it Friday yet?

To say that "the data show these vaccines fail" in regards to the mRNA plaform is unforgivable. For those of you that don't remember - this is the data from a SINGLE dose. In December 2020. So good I cried in grateful tears.

Check out the replies in this thread for great non-function reads on science history! 🧪 #ScienceSky #BookSky 📚✨ Also! @ucsandiego.bsky.social has a History of Science major (linked), and I loved going through the course offerings and their syllabi as a student ✨👩🏽‍🏫👩🏽‍💻🏫

When someone points out that you're grinding your teeth -- do you notice even MORE grinding? Asking for a friend. (It's me, the friend is me.)

Me: "What did you learn at journal club today?" Intern: "That one day I'm going to publish a paper, and a bunch of people are going to sit around a table and rip it apart."

Me, staring at a blank page: I guess this grant is not going to write itself.

I dare you to read this and not weep over the massive waste and destruction.

This is a 4-manuscript summer and I just pressed submit on one of them. 25% feels pretty good, tbh.

Anyone can do post-publication peer review. Anyone can be a steward of the scientific literature. Anyone can do forensic metascience. Anyone can sleuth. That's why we are launching COSIG: the Collection of Open Science Integrity Guides, an open source resource for all of the above. cosig.net

I don't get Sunday scaries - I get early week overwhelm. Making sure I get a brain dump before bed is how I'm keeping myself as level-headed as I can! Anyone else with the Mon/Tues scaries?
