Congratulations, Dr. Bailey R. Fairbanks, Ph.D!! We are so proud of you! David enjoyed watching watching his Aunt Bailey’s dissertation defense!

So grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this project! I learned a lot and I have the greatest advisors!

Me: “Today is the day I am going to get a lot of work done!” My son: “lol” #phdlife #momlife

Today was my first day back on campus for work since having a baby. My babysitter and back-up babysitter fell through this morning. I called my brother and then spent the entire day guilty that I was leaving my child AND inconveniencing a family member. How does anyone do this?

“Mom, if you keep insisting on working, I will eat your chair.”

Baby and I are watching a golf tournament from the comfort of our back deck. I could get used to this weather.

This is what defending your prospectus looks like when childcare falls through. Thank you to my awesome committee for getting me through this first step! Jeff Lazarus @pcpeay Amy Steigerwalt #phdlife #prospectusdefense #abd Academic Mom, PhD #phdchat

I did something for myself that isn’t work. It feels nice. #tennis #takeabreak #phdchat #phdlife #workingmom

Child got his first stomach flu. Child gave me the stomach flu. Happy Thanksgiving 🍁 😴

Update: husband also has COVID. His symptoms are significantly worse than mine. 2022 better be an incredible year. We need a break!

Second to childbirth, slamming my finger in my car door, and then pulling it out instead of just opening the door, may be the worst pain I’ve ever experienced 🤦‍♀️

I’m breaking my months long Twitter hiatus to say that I passed my prospectus defense and am now a PhD Candidate. 🎉 Many thanks to my amazing committee: @suboticjelena, Dan Altman, Mike Fix, and my chair, the twitterless Dr. Carrie Manning! #phdchat

So proud of my AMAZING friend for absolutely crushing her prospectus defense today!!

I managed to convince my toddler to let me dress him in a bow tie and suspenders. Enjoy.

How does gender influence House members’ careers? Amy Steigerwalt, Micayla Clark, and co-authors find that women have significantly shorter careers because they have a later entry to and an earlier exit from the House than men. Read in Politics & Gender: doi.org/10.1017/S17439…

I would like to personally thank Official Bluey TV for making it possible for me to get work done on my dissertation. Fight against the mom guilt, fight against the mom guilt… 🙃

Starting today, my kiddo will be with my parents 3 days a week so I can finish my dissertation. Grateful for my parents, but many tears were still shed. Does this get easier? #phdmom #gradschool #momlife #covidbaby
