I've been lucky enough to get grant writing advice from Holly Jones and it's been incredibly useful. Her communication of these concepts is clear, succinct, and comes with a healthy dose of humor. Definitely check out this workshop and get ready for allll the funding. 😁🤑😁

ONE WEEK! 😱😁🤩 Cant wait!!

What a rockstar and amazing person to work with. And have you checked out the MEEC website she designed (link in MEEC bio)? Soooo good. And it now includes the posters for previewing! 😊

So excited (and, fittingly, anxious) to chat about mental health in academia. So hey, academic twitter, PhD Balance, what mental health topics interest you?

Please register today to join us this weekend. Registration is $5 and is waived for anyone indicating financial need. All are welcome! 😊

Beyond excited for today! See y'all soon! 😁😁😁

What a pleasure it's been to work with this team and to have seen the fruits of our labor bring so many amazing scientists together. I learned so much from the conference and just that much more from organizing it. Thanks to all who volunteered and participated this weekend! 😊

Didn't get the NSF GRFP but feeling really good about my reviews and especially about how far I've come from where I started. #fullspeedahead

I am so happy to announce our postdoc opening is live! Check it out if you would like to join our U.S. National Science Foundation Rules of Life interdisciplinary team studying the relationship between prairie plant roots and soil microbes! @AndrewLHipp @MeghanMidgley Nick Barber careers.hireology.com/themortonarbor…

Random thing I'm thankful for today: bagless vacuum cleaners. What about you?

Reading this was like a virtual hug. Thank you, Dr. Estrada.

Hosting was beyond rewarding. One goal from the initial planning stages was to provide support for next year's hosts. That process will begin with an info session in May for anyone interested in learning more about hosting (date TBA). Please email for details of info session.

Selfie with my new bestie on her first run. Took me awhile to get to know her, but this robot is going to help me do so many DNA extractions and I love her so much for it. instagram.com/p/CN-y1PTDXpby…

We are hiring. If you're in the local Northern Illinois area and have your BSc or are pursuing it, are interested in being a lab technician, and are into prairie plant communities, consider applying! …a-4731-b1b4-4a698ff52d76.filesusr.com/ugd/36baf5_079…

Enjoyed the most beautiful day of soil sampling at Nachusa Grasslands today, complete with amazing (and safe) views of bison and their adorable galloping calves. 🥰

Hey Netflix if you really think "representation matters" how about some more #CityOfGhosts? If you can give 6 seasons to a horse who transplanted to Hollywood, certainly you can give more than 6 episodes to a show about the real people of L.A.? (P.S. I also loved Bojack)

Academic writing is wild bc you’ll read four articles just to write one sentence. Anyway, here’s a thread of resources I’ve been using to speed through this review I’m working on:
