So excited to chat inclusivity on data viz with @evergreendata this morning!

Just when I start feeling like the most mediocre person on my planet, my RMT saves the day by telling me the knots in my upper back are the most prominent she’s ever seen. 😌

I used to think academia was my calling -- the thing that I was meant to do. But I am increasingly thinking that my calling is going to the beach and I am meant to relax and enjoy a fruity little beverage in the sunshine.

Who knew writing could be so cathartic? Apparently everyone but I’m late to the game and traumatized so this is news to me.

there is, without a doubt, the sense in academia that if you struggle with mental illness, are disabled, that’s your problem—you simply can’t handle the “rigors” of the academy. there are endless performative shows of support, but when it comes down to it we’re often on our own.

It’s crazy how connected and human you can realize we all are when you just sit and listen to someone for ten minutes. Let’s all remember to be kind.

Almost four whole years after moving to this province I finally got my AB drivers license in the mail, so I think I’m officially an Albertan now? Yeehaw! 🤠

I had so many plans for getting ahead on new projects this summer and then I blinked and we’re a 1/4 of the way through August already HELP

A fun tool I put together for @EvalAcademy to help you decide what chart to use to best display your data. Would love to hear your feedback!

Does anyone in my network have full text access to this paper? My institution unfortunately isn’t subscribed to the publisher and I’ve had no luck finding current contact information for the authors. 😢 TYIA! doi.org/10.1089/jpm.20… #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #MAiD

I severely underestimated how difficult it would be to restart my MSc while working full time. Any tips and tricks on how to balance a 9-5 and keep on track for a one-year thesis completion without burning out (again) would be very appreciated! #AcademicChatter #academictwitter

No better way to start my week than being woken up at 6:30 to the fire alarm and sitting in my freezing car while the fire dept. investigates! I’m so tired!

*taps mic* Is this thing on? Calling all moms!! Participate in research from my former lab! Amazing people and super important work. Happy to answer any questions! Please share in your networks :)

The idea of packing to come back to -27°C tomorrow after a month in Ontario is really just not it rn.
