Big career announcement!! A few weeks ago I was offered an interview and site visit for a tenure-track Professor of Microbiology position at a dream location. But - I declined! Here is why ... (TLDR: enthusiastically saying "No, thank you" to academia) #MicroSky 1/8

These are such important decisions, and I’m glad you’re found what’s right for you! Good luck with your next steps!

I will continue to be there for every. step. of. the. way.!

Thanks for sharing this - really important message

Congrats on choosing your career path with intention! Good luck wherever you go next.

Wow, congratulations on all of this! Can't wait to see your next steps and successes

I spent the last year or so self-reflecting and I realized that, quite simply, I don't want to be a group leader at a university anymore . At this point in my life, that specific job doesn't suit my interests like it used to. 2/8

This is why you have, are, and will continue to inspire me, and no doubt many others! And now we are sure to never meet, lol 🥳
