My first @aaas annual national conference! Had an amazing time learning about the massive scope of quality science happening all over the globe. Special thanks to the panelists in the final plenary session—your remarks were extremely timely and encouraging.

So excited to be attending my first ever SfN! Meet me at my poster on Wednesday, 8-10am if you want to chat about piRNAs in the mouse brain and Pb exposure! #sfn2024 @SfNtweets

I had an incredible experience this past week at my first @SOToxicology annual national conference and ToxEpo! It was an honor to present my research on the presence of PIWIL proteins (piRNA machinery) in the developing mouse brain and placenta. Excited for next year already! – at Salt Lake City, UT

What’s one random habit for your sanity you’ve picked up since beginning your PhD/post doc? Mines consistently somehow slipping a Whole Foods cupcake into my cart during my weekly grocery shopping

It started out as a, ā€œoh this is a once in a while treat!ā€, and has quickly turned into a ā€œwhere is my cupcakeā€ Sunday evening ritual

Feeling super stoked about finally hitting this PR right in time for the New Year šŸ˜Ž. Always a good time to smash goals, finals week or not! @ScientistsLift

I am so serious when I say that the view from our lab window was a reason I came here for grad school

Had an absolute blast at @SOToxicology MI chapter today. I was extremely proud and excited to share my take on the EP train derailment and what I think could’ve been going on there on a mechanistic level, as well as some proposed solutions. Swipe to see my wonderful department 🧔

Senior grad student: do you have an extra hair tie? Me: no I’m so sorry I don’t :( Them: it’s fine I’ll just use a glove ?!!!??? This is what I call peer mentorship

One aspect of lab culture I just adore is the universal anthropomorphism of lab instruments

Wrapping up year 1 of this PhD feeling extremely thankful to be where I am. I love my program and the people in it. I love the research we do and feel it’s deeply fulfilling and societally impactful. Overwhelmed every time I re-remember that I get to do this. That is allšŸ„¹šŸ«¶šŸ»

Retweeting this so more people can see this
I used to feel so embarrassed that I was not a ā€œmath or science person.ā€ And then I have days like today when I see what I can do with words and it shocks even me. Like, wow clever brain, I can’t believe you just made language do that.

If @umichsph had told me living in Ann Arbor meant forest creatures would casually approach me on my doorstep asking for snacks, I would’ve agreed to attend here much faster šŸ¤£šŸ¤Ž
