This is an update to a previous post. Folks who see twitter as something full of cat videos and the president’s latest thoughts often laugh when I tell them that twitter has been incredibly valuable to me, starting as a grad student, and now as a professional scientist.

To make this point a bit more clear I thought I would show what wouldn’t be on my CV without twitter. Anything crossed out wouldn’t have existed, because I met one or more key people via twitter. That isn’t to say that I couldn’t have met some of those folks through more ‘traditional’ means, but for some, who live on other continents, it seems much less likely.

My postdoc position is crossed out, becuase I know that my publication record as a finishing up PhD student was a big part of why I got that position, and that publication record was greatly aided by my papers with twitter colleagues.

Some things are hard to know whether or not to ‘count’ for twitter, as things snowball, so I’ve tried to be more conservative and not cross things off if I wasn’t sure.

As Mentor

Undergraduate Mentor Summer 2018-Present Mentored two undergraduates through independent research projects. I was awarded competitive funding to cover their salaries and housing. Throughout the summer I taught them field, and quantitative skills. Throughout the following Fall Semester I mentored them through their data analysis and first poster presentations. They are now both working on peer reviewed papers.
