You’d be surprised by how much power grant-generating abusive faculty have over other faculty members/the university. Even big schools like Duke seem unable to do anything about abusers
In 2016, I had the honor of giving a

It allows for trust to be built and for our brains to process situations. Obviously you want to move past small talk, but jumping too quickly into deep conversation doesn’t allow the brain to process and allow for trust to be formed. Jumping too quickly into deep talk is a 🚩

My first first author pre-print is out!
In "Climate Change Factors Interact to Shift Functional Microbial Composition in Peatlands," we show how climate change induces novel, unexpected changes in microbial traits that buck theory in fascinating ways!
Today, people ditch relationships quickly and lack commitment to Love (tinderella syndrome); it's important to understand why people have the wrong concept of Love. Plato's Symposium breaks down all these misconceptions, offering the truth of Love
