No matter how rough a week you had, just remember that Flavor Flav just finished setting all his clocks forward 1 hour

me: *empties water bottle into the lake* go, you’re free now

Why must I wear long sleeves and a blazer to appear “professional” in an interview? Do they not understand how much I sweat? (A lot. It’s a lot.)

My cats weaving amongst themselves after they’ve eaten, trying to see if they can get into any other microchip feeders, reminds me of the scene in Clue where they draw sticks

This International Women's Day, I'm thinking about how it wasn't required for NIH-sponsored trials to include women until 1993.

I try to celebrate women everyday,,, but today I wanna shout out some special and important women in my life::: My Daughters My Girlfriend My WoManager My LawyHers My Assistant The US Women’s Olympic Water Polo team And most of all,,, my Moms 🕊️ Happy Women’s Day,,, all year long,!!

Gonna repeat this one, since I just got my third random text with a file attachment in 24h

Everything hurts. I have achieved none of today’s (essentially mandatory) goals and have only barely gotten out of bed. I have nothing witty to add. #DisabledInSTEM

Find myself fluctuating wildly between: “this work is important, I must carry on” and “what’s the point, my research is basically illegal now” Anyway. The dissertation writing is going great. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ 🩷💜💙

I think things really started going downhill when spam texts became the norm

Another chapter WRITTEN. I’d say it’s a good thing I have ADHD hyper-focus so I can get this thing finished, but I suppose I probably wouldn’t need the hyper-focus if the ADHD didn’t get me here.

I’m really much better at posters and PowerPoints… Can I just submit some kick-ass slide presentations to my dissertation committee and call it square?

The best dissertation is a written one. Or so I hear.

Last week in a WHO-led process, a group of experts selected target flu strains for production for the 2025-26 season. All three strains selected were previously used in the global 2024-25 season, which should make work easier for manufacturers since they have experience with these strains.

I am one with the dissertation and the dissertation is with me I am one with the dissertation and the dissertation is with me I am one with the dissertation and the dissertation is with me

oh, you’ve got adhd? think you can remember to take this pill? think you can remember if you’ve taken this pill? think you can find your pills?

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! Amazing! GO Green!!!

GO GREEN!!!!!!

Just popped a rib out doing basically nothing and just wanted to say I’m alright... I’m alright. It only hurts when I breathe. #AlternativeRock

Graduating during the pandemic slowed down my process and is part of why I did two postdocs. Now as a first year faculty, all the federal grants are frozen. I love the work I do but this has all of us questioning how much www.science.org/content/arti...

I have a pretty decent callus on my fingertip now - I’m beginning to feel like a bona fide knitter!

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

Well, this aged poorly. Fingers crossed I have 1 migraine over the next 2 months!

Ya know those people who are like “I worked every day through the night for x weeks to finish my dissertation” Yeah that’s gonna be me. Fingers crossed I have zero migraines over the next 2 months! (ha.)

This whole thread is very informative and readable. Some really exciting things being done! Wish we could get new trial results right away but alas, that’s not how time works. Unless we use time dilation . .

I’m sorry I didn’t immediately address the text about your emotional distress. I was busy having emotional distress.

I just subluxated my wrist using a stapler, and I it didn’t even staple properly.

I have absolutely no idea what I’m supposed to do with this information

As always, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is a real one.

Being gay sucks. Especially when you know half the country wants to remove you from existence. Every single day I and other lgbt people are alive is an implicit act of #resistance Keep going, keep living, keep being you. Never go back to the closet 🏳️‍🌈 #lgbt #gay

Working on something and need your help: for those receive NIH funding, can you comment and give me a one sentence summary of what you do and how it helps people? Also helpful: 1. A citation of your work (paper/lab page) 2. (Optional) a pic of you/your work you’re willing to share publicly

sorry if you haven’t had a message back, i barely have the energy to exist lately

Love waking up in full body flair and having to immediately medicate. My favorite pastime. So productive.
