: Re: Is it correct to use acronyms in a bio or should I omit it? In writing a bio in a technical context, like an author blurb in a publication, should I use acronyms or spell them out? Always?

If the abbreviation is understood by 95% of your intended audience, and 90% of their bosses, and you would seem pretentious if you spelled out the abbreviation, abbreviate it. Of your examples, only the following ones might meet this standard:

BS, MS, PhD (and similarly, BA, MA, MD, JD).

While DBA often stands for "Database Administrator", it also stands for "Doing Business As", so you should spell it out. The other abbreviations should be spelled out, so that ordinary bosses can understand them.
