Monsignor Pruitt really saw Voldemort with wings in a cave and thought "angel" ... ??? #MidnightMass

It was a delight to talk with Emily Schafer, PhD about her research on biomedical engineering (woah, smart people stuff) for @hookedonscience! Listen to the episode today!

A new mantra to keep myself on task... Probably need to glue it to my eyeballs, but that's not important right now

You should go listen to this awesomely interesting @hookedonscience episode with Emily Schafer, PhD! It's always a delight to learn about something new, but this was completely out of my wheelhouse and I was riveted during the interview and again during editing

Sometimes I wonder if doing years of busy work and unimportant little tasks has skewed my ability to determine if I'm being "productive" or not because productivity looks and feels way different now that I'm writing my dissertation! Academic Chatter™

I said yes!!!!!!!! 💍 🥰✨ Someone asked me if I was STILL working on that paper I started three years ago. ❤️

Every time I type "wherever," I really want it to be "whereever." Merriam-Webster can we make this happen??

One of the great joys of hosting a science podcast is learning about things I never even thought about before- like octopuses! 🐙🐙 Learn more about these many-armed friends in the latest episode of @hookedonscience!

What do you listen to when you write? The things I usually pick from don't feel right today! Academic Chatter™ #PhDProbs

So excited and relived to hear that my second first-author paper was accepted and is moving to the proof stage! All that's left on my academic Christmas list now is "finish dissertation" 😅

get it together

The great thing about having a standing desk is that I'm not sitting all day, but the terrible thing is that it's just so easy to wander away every 5 minutes when I'm trying to write

Yesterday someone breathlessly ran up to me in a store and yelled "you're young, does this look good?!" It did. And it was a nice reminder that feeling old and crippled from grad school doesn't actually mean that I'm old and crippled🙃

I'm getting a degree in plants, but I don't actually know how to take care of the plants in my apartment. It's my dark professional secret 🌱☠️

After 5 years, 4 chapters, 3 cities, and 2 states, I officially have 1 PhD! 👩🏼‍🎓
