Happy Mother’s Day to the feisty science moms out there. You’re brilliant! You balance and manage SO MUCH. You bring excellence, creativity, innovation, and humanity to the world. If I hadn’t seen others having families AND doing science, I wouldn’t have realized I could do it, too. Thank you ❤️

Getting these during Nurses Week is 🥹. Linking arms with fellow nurses and caring for our patients like they’re family—that’s what #nursing is all about. Happy Nurses Week to all the incredible nurses out there. Grateful and proud to be among the ranks!

“Richard Feynman once wrote the scientists’ most valuable transferable skill is a deep and intimate experience with doubt. It’s difficult to motivate yourself to spend a life in research if you believe you know everything…” (🧵)

I was very intentional in balancing work and fun at this conference because this semester has just been ROUGH. I’m still tired, but it was the emotional boost I needed. (And I’m totally going to see Hamilton again in NYC this June because you guysss….🔥!)

I have a confession . . . I was an “overhead cost”. I was a beaker washer, agar plate pourer, research secretary. I was paid by “overhead cost” fees. Loved it. Those “overhead cost” jobs allowed this rural kid to become a physician. Please tag how #OverheadCostJob impact u.

Anyone else feel like they lived 17 lives in January? I’m just over here slathering these on while a diffuser runs continuously near me. Very little capacity for being on socials these days. 😖

I randomly started a running program on 1/3. It has me running 5 miles today. Like what. I didn’t give this enough thought. I’ve run more the past 3 weeks than I did all last semester. This is very typical of me. 🤣 #phdsky #academicsky

…last year, she went to a private school. They used paper and pencil for everything, and I swear she played the glockenspiel all year in music class. 🤔

Are all schools doing this? 💻 My 6th grader created this to go with her book report. She made these character photos using #AI. She’s also currently writing a book in Google docs, and she created a cover on Canva. In music, they make tracks on their Chromebooks. This is a public school…
