I have identified many different potential paths away from academia. How can I narrow them down?
"Think about the work that you are genuinely excited to do, the things that are really genuinely meaningful for you...so when you're on your deathbed and you're looking back, you're not thinking about all of the energy

you've wasted on someone else's desire..." - @jeffpreston
"There isn't really a wrong path, and that that vision of the life chapters can all be melded together into a lifetime ... just because you pick something doesn't mean it's the end of anything else. It's just the beginning." - @PhilDeLuna1

Powerful words by @jeffpreston: "One thing that I really want to encourage you in grad school to begin to think about is the ways in which your path through the program. There is no such thing as a normal pathway through the grad program... (1/9)
These are all myths that we build into an ableist structure that is the Academy, which states that you must work all the time at high levels that you will make no mistakes that you are basically this unbelievable perfect human being... (2/9)

Starting the conversation on #SciencePolicy and #Advocacy this morning!

How do we translate science at the bench to our policymakers?
There are two different types of Science Policy:

1. Science for policy: leveraging the scientific process in decision-making

2. Policy for Science: the rules and policies by which science can be done

Include science in the conversation!

- @ChanelMatney
How do figure out if you're interested in the integration of science & policy?

Start with informational interviews with people involved in science policy!

We’re incredibly honored to have @frkearns joining us for a discussion about a part of her book “Getting to the Heart of Science Communication” #ComSciCon21 #scicomm {Slide on the left that say...
To create this book, Faith interviewed a variety of practitioners as she wanted to only speak to her experience - so important because while we may be an expert at something, we’re not experts at everything!

This book also has some #ComSciConnections to our alumni! #ComSciCon21
Some one line gems in the chat:

“Relating to people’s emotions is where the #scicomm work is at”

“Communicating isn’t just talking, it’s listening too”
