Celebrating surviving study section with a cocktail, warm cat, and my new favorite show, The Goldbergs!

I love watching The Twilight Zone because they’ll frequently mention a person’s age and they’re at least 20 years younger than I guessed.

I’ve wanted to do an update on life outside academia for the last couple of weeks but the days just fly by and I haven’t had chance! Anyway here it is, I hope this is useful for anyone thinking of leaving (it’s the kind of thing I wanted to read a year ago)…

Gotta love a scary email from the state telling you to fill out a form by May 2021 or face a $40K fine…

💪💪 Successfully jump started my car! 💪💪

I saw a snowflake.

This is just to make Paul Jenkins jealous. (Think I need the snow blower for that accumulation??)

Home from the winter market with the bagels and knish. Kids playing out in the snow. Finally, I can sit by the fire and listen to Red (Taylor’s Version) in peace…

Been fermenting these hot peppers for a week. Bubbled for a few days. Now this… What’s going on here and what do I do?

All four. #TeamCake

First week in months where I’m not writing a grant, reviewing a grant or discussing a grant. Excited to get back to doing real research! 😉

In the lead up to World Pancreatic Cancer Day, I want to introduce the team working on this deadly disease. I am so excited that Christie Towers, PhD joined the pancreatic cancer team and can’t wait to work together!#PancreaticCancer #timeiseverything #PancreaticCancerAwarenessMonth

I regret that I have but one bagel to eat for my breakfast.

Time Is Everything to pancreatic cancer patients and their families—I know from first-hand experience after losing my father to this terrible disease. He’s the reason I became a pancreatic cancer research scientist. #TimeIsEverything #PancreaticCancerAwarenessMonth
