Black Friday Sale!* *product excluded from discount.

does anybody have any advice for government salary negotiation?

This beef has been so funny 😂😂 A thread 🧵: Drake: "This for all the top dogs, drop and give me 50, drop, drop" Kendrick:

I can't wait to get the updated Novavax covid vaccine this fall. I will make the trek out to Costco even if it takes up a whole day.

So... Kendrick dissed Drake for a whole week One of the diss tracks became a global hit United LA to sing some of the diss tracks at The Pop Out show Performed diss songs at the Superbowl Won 5 Grammys Won an Emmy for the halftime show This the greatest & most perpetual ass whoopin of all time 😂

Who started the rumor, and is it true? 👀🍊

This #LoveIsland reunion is boring

Is anybody watching #LoveIslandReunion ?? I am so confused 😂

I think it would be worse if I had finished my PhD and couldn't find a job. That would actually be devastating.

Has anybody seen success with resume summaries?

Problems I am facing in the job market: Transferable skills not being acknowledged Non-science recruiters Not being able to follow up on applications

idk if yall are seeing the Cardi B/Samyra fatphobia thing going on tiktok... The claim is that Cardi made an inside, fatphobic joke w/ her fans. It's important to correct people inside your house too. Idk how many times I've had to correct friends/fam/coworkers about culturally insensitive jokes.

It's rough out here 🥺

As soon as I can find a job outside of STEM, the better. I can't wait. Another Black women leaving STEM ✌🏾

What is the point of getting an advanced degree if you don't qualify for anything??

This job market is trash.

Our lab was really excited to have Alexia join us this summer as part of the CUREP program, working with Skylar. She was an excellent intern and we know she has great things ahead! She will also be presenting her work in our lab at ABRCMS in the fall, so stay tuned…

Has anybody been hired at a large scientific company recently?? I need some tips on how to get my resume through the AI filtering system.

Nothings been the same since Pusha T said, "YOU ARE HIDING A CHILD!".

Last thing, if you're a hiring manager: Sometimes Black people (& others) do quit positions due to racism, but we're advised not to talk about that during interviews. So consider that if you see someone w/ multiple jobs in a short period of time. +the job market is 💩 which explains the gaps.

I'm not trying to take this personal. This job market is a joke. Because how do I keep getting rejected from a job I literally had before??

For my last microbiology job, I was auto-rejected multiple times. Luckily, I knew someone on the inside who brought my name up to the hiring manager. I was hired and within 3 months... I was training my immediate superior.. who was hire months before me... Again, I was rejected for that job.

Oh I also write the script, do background research, film, edit, and create the thumbnails for all of my content.

Anywayz... back to writing a science communication article for my substack.

I HAVE VALUE! I can: Communicate science to a variety of audiences from other scholars, to professional clients, to the layperson (my scicomm platform) Analyze & visualize data using python or R (my research) People and project manage (my 10 yrs of professional experience) but I can't get a job.

An institution near me; one of the largest employers in my area; will not hire me. Why? because I don't have a degree in Clinical/Medical Laboratory science. Also me: ASCP Certified Medical Laboratory Scientist; Generalist Blood Banking and Microbiology reference lab experience. A master's degree

I have: A master's degree. My thesis work was in microbiology. Microbiology graduate courses. Pharmaceutical industry experience as a senior scientist & as a manager. Clinical microbiology experience and am ASCP certified. ...but I cannot get a microbiologist position...

Getting rejected from jobs you are clearly qualified for sucks.

That was the most "chile....anyway" 4th of July ever 😂😂😂😂

CDC today… “We have been dismantling the Covid wastewater surveillance and monitoring programs, so our variant data is no longer reliable. Oh yeah and we are going to switch to a monthly reporting frequency”. So who was right and has been picking this up for over half a year? This guy.

A new all-time high of wastewater facilities not reporting covid concentrations in NY, 156/173 not reporting. That’s more than 90% of facilities in NY not currently actively measuring/reporting the wastewater concentration. Low Covid right now my ass. Of the 17 reporting, 11 at high levels.

When asked about supporting healthcare in rural areas, RFK Jr says they are considering bringing telehealth and AI nursing to rural areas... How is that going to work if rural areas have trouble with internet access??

Well-known Baltimore arabber shot and killed by Baltimore Police officers baltimorebeat.com/well-known-b...

Finding centralized information on COVID variants in the US is a completely frustrating process. It seems like major institutions stop publicly sharing data between 2022-2024. Here is a thread 🧵of websites from institutions that have SARS-CoV-2 (COVID) variant tracking data publicly available.

Looking up things about the new COVID variant and saw this disclaimer on the Washington state department of health website: "Please note that some links to federal government websites may be broken due to new presidential executive orders." *sigh* 🤦🏾‍♀️

Rest in Peace Ananda 🕊😢

Got my COVID booster today. It was covered by insurance, but no telling if they will cover a future booster... if there is one.

The Fulbright Scholarship board resigned due to political interference from the Trump administration.
