Laughed too hard at this 🤣

😂 What a great creative outlet!

The ability to change your mind about something is a sign of strength, not weakness. It shows that you value getting it right over looking right.

We must be willing to occasionally zoom out of the research that we are doing & see where we fit in the whole picture of science that includes all its different disciplines. This will give us some direction to our future work.

A-frickin-men!

Research entails delayed rewards. Not every experiment is successful. Not every idea is useful. Not every day is productive. Celebrate every little step: an idea here, and a paper submission there. All make the journey. #phdchat Academic Chatter™ #reup

Great friends are friends who fix each other’s typos in shared google docs.

Yay for nontraditional students 💜

Realizing that I actually need more self-discipline to rest effectively than to work effectively. I’m still learning how to put away anxiety over the to-do list and let go of worries about the day or week ahead. But, the effort required to practice and master this is worth it.

Many of us are academic researchers for the love of discovery, knowledge, education, and academic freedom. You can be successful by following the data & being a creative thinker. The Twitter echo chamber can be a downer; it’s not a complete rep. of the scientific community.
