When choosing a grad program, think about the research you want to do and the knowledge you want to gain. But, think even harder about the skills you want to build.

-Communication
-Leadership
-Creativity
-Problem solving

Those skills are what will make your career.#PhDchat

I'm reading over graduate applications, and I cannot believe how many undergrads have extensive research experience and no co-authored pubs. IF YOUR UNDERGRAD HELPS WITH THE FIELD AND LAB WORK, PUT THEM ON THE DAMN PAPER. #academictwitter #academicchatter #PIlife

In grad school, on my first major paper, I wanted to include 2 undergraduates as coauthors.

An advisor told me it was a mistake.

I agreed, and coauthored the paper with 5 undergraduates instead.

Sharing credit with others takes nothing away from you.#FridayMotivation

When I was a MS student, my advisor told me to multiply projected budgets & timelines by 3 because things will run over. I thought that was ridiculous. Why not just estimate things right the 1st time? Post-PhD, I still think it's ridiculous. Clearly, the multiplier should be 5.

This is a selection of the thousands of native potato varieties that grow in Peru. What is evenmore interesting is that agronomists are looking to the ancestral knowledge of Peruvian farmers to identify genetic strains that can resist climate change https://t.co/BOo5BxhDdl pic.twitter.com/15hTSlaqsx
