There’s nothing like the frustration when my fav curly hair product gets discontinued. Like, I’m not sure you understand that was the only thing standing between me and a full on fro. Now I have to begin my hair optimization process all over again *sigh*

If I had to pay out of pocket, it would cost me about $120,000 a year for my Crohns medication. I think something is wrong with healthcare in this country…

The NIH minimum postdoc salary is less than half of that. How is it that the people working countless hours to make medical breakthroughs possible can’t even come close to affording them when needed?

We did it! 🎉 @cobrie5 and my paper on Raman spectroscopy of the laboring cervix is now published: authors.elsevier.com/c/1enKT…. So grateful to all my coauthors for their hard labor to make this paper a reality (pun intended)

I retweeted this link earlier and Twitter warned me I was tweeting an article I hadn’t read. Joke’s on them, I wrote the thing 😛

Today is International Day of Women and Girls in Science. It was also my last day in academia. Leaving my postdoc wasn’t an easy decision. But I hope I can model for the women who come behind me is that there is not just one path to success in STEM

Anyone else have a stationery and planner obsession? I have more planners than things to plan.
