Would love to read this once it's available!

Frustrating that our state rep isn't showing up for the people that he represents.

One of the many reasons science education is important. Yes, we also need to prepare the next generation of scientists and engineers, but basic understanding of science and how it works for everyone is crucial to build trust in science and scientists.

Follow the money and see where it goes...

Week 3 of the semester done and i'm feeling way more tired than I think I should be with 4/5 of the semester to go. #PhDSky

I bought a small laser printer. That's it...that's my advice.

That's a hard no from me. Here at Penn State, there are profs requiring students to buy licenses so AI can grade their submissions. I don't think I could stay in a class that required that. onwardstate.com/2024/01/16/o...

Onward Debates: Packback vs. Top Hat

Both are required software to make your professors and TAs' lives a little easier, sure, but to students, it's often the opposite.

Snowy lion to close out the last day of finals week 💙#PhDSky

The Lion Shrine, a statue of the Nittany Lion on Penn State's campus, covered in a light coating of snow.

O DNA...do you think they sell jeans? #sciencehumor

This should be enough drinks and snacks for a morning of writing, right? #PhDSky

Uh...because I have 2 papers due Friday. 😆 #PhDSky

Winter light on campus is so beautiful (also nice that it was in the 40s today instead of the 20s!)

Getting a PhD in education in a country that wants to eliminate the Department of Education. Great timing on my part! (also- keep in mind that it is meaningful to the other half of society at least)

Brain melt is VERY real and relatable right now. I want to do All The Things Right Now and that's...apparently not the right way to go about this. 😆

Julie Coder @coderchem.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

Do you need to decide already? Maybe do some more reading in both methods and see which papers speak to you more (also in my 1st semester of a PhD and grappling with similar questions)

Oh I get it! And I do love Pluto regardless of its planetary status ;)

The sun setting on Thanksgiving break means it's time to write the to-do list for the week ahead. #PhDSky

Had the opportunity to hear Mike Brown give a lecture at Penn State about a decade ago. He presents a very compelling argument and I no longer feel that Pluto deserves full planet status after hearing his talk!

I was feeding it prompts last night and it invented references. When I asked it for a summary of the manufactured reference it gave me a reasonable-sounding summary of a paper on that topic. I will continue yelling at the cloud.

Feeling this right now with the end of the semester coming at me like a freight train. #PhDSky

A screen grab of a tweet from Rachel (@femaleredhead) that says "reading for pleasure implies the existence of reading for pain"

Fun! Can't wait to hear where they send you!

Wait- that wasn't a hypothetical assignment?
