A short list of things I wish I had done during my PhD This is a list coming straight from my experience and it is NOT a listicle (I hate that word. And the concept.). Just putting it out there, that I wish.. ..I had written a review in my field BEFORE ...

Maine in the fall is unmatched! 🤩🍂💖 Enjoy!

Lately, I've found books that explain science/research concepts in a more narrative or informal, conversational style especially helpful. What books would you recommend for a PhD student or early-career researcher to read?

Low-Priority Queue

We've been getting questions about, "is Northsky for people who aren't 2SLGBTQIA+ as well?"

If this describes you, there's a lower-priority queue you can join here: northskysocial.com/allies

As some wise individuals once said, "Having fun isn't hard when you've got a library card!" 🎶

A JAMA article titled "Federal Student Loan Limits and Implications for Physician Workforce Diversity" by Jeremy W. Jacobs and Garrett S. Booth, published online August 25, 2025. It discusses the Matthew Effect and federal loan policies.

Viewpoint: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act's federal loan caps may exacerbate socioeconomic disparities in #MedEd, worsening the Matthew Effect and hindering diversity and equity within the physician workforce.

Speech-Language Pathology/Pathologist: Time to Revise Our Titles?

🆓🔓in @sigperspectives.bsky.social Adithya Chandregowda writes, "speech-language pathologist" represents our role as diagnosticians (pathologists). "We need a title that emphasizes on our role in promoting communication regardless of one's “diagnosis.”" pubs.asha.org/doi/full/10.... 🦋 #bskySPEECHIES

Having an awesome time at the #MeaningfulXR conference at @ucdavis.bsky.social ! We got great feedback on our CN Vision tool, and it's awesome to see how others are using #XR tech in their respective fields.

Thank you to Dr. Robby Ratan and team for putting together this fabulous conference!

Exclusive: NSF stops awarding new grants and funding existing ones US science funder also plans to screen grant applications for compliance with ‘agency priorities’.

🔔BREAKING🔔

The NSF has frozen all research grant awards—cutting off life-saving science midstream and demanding ideological screenings for future funding.

This is censorship disguised as oversight.

Here’s how you can help us spread the word ➡️🧵(1/3):

Maura is wearing a pink t-shirt that says "This is what a scientist looks like." She's standing next to a table with microscopes and specimen slides on it.

A small bonfire with orange, blue, and green flames. The blue and green flames come from added elements that cause chemical reactions.

Had a great time with MSU's Graduate Women in Science chapter at the "Campfire Science" event tonight!

Did different kinds of science from the speechie stuff I usually do, and loved showing local families/community members how cool science can be!
