After years of hard work with an awesome team, our study on how an environmental chemical affects the gut-brain axis was published as the cover for a special issue of Toxics! mdpi.com/2305-6304/13/1

So many skills are transferable from living in an immigrant household to being a scientist...today, it's writing while surrounded by chaos. 😅 There just wasn't room for private, quiet space in the tiny apartments we used to live in.

Last paper of my PhD is finally out!! I'm so relieved. Sadly in a closed access journal, so who knows if I'll even have access myself once their temporary link dies, since my institution no longer subscribes to Elsevier. 🤡

Come see me at my poster at #ESA2023 on Monday next week 5-6:30 pm. I'll be talking about my work on how a ubiquitous environmental toxicant affects the gut microbiome and behavior in zebrafish over MULTIPLE generations! ᗦ↞◃

My latest nerd purchase is also relevant to my love of ecology: a woodland dragon with tiny mushroom caps on its tail. 💜🍄

My partner came back from Omega Mart in Las Vegas and he brought me exactly what I wanted.

Ecosphere what are these choices?? No option for major revision? Option to resubmit is so demoralizing as opposed to major revisions.

BREAKING: 48K University of Calfornia TAs, postdocs & other student workers just walked off the job. It's the largest strike in the US since 2019. Many UC workers earn < $24k/yr. A PhD student I spoke to said they donate blood plasma to make ends meet. washingtonpost.com/business/2022/…

It's officially happened...I need to use the Pythagorean theorem for an analysis. Somewhere, my high school math teacher is feeling vindicated.

Let's face it, we're going to be stuck with zoom conferences/courses/etc. till the end of time now. Might as well optimize it best we can! #PLOSCompBio: Ten simple rules for leveraging virtual interaction to build higher-level learning into bioinfo ... dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

Such an important aspect of being a parent and scientist! To add, we should also just allow people to not work and be with their babies when they are born. nature.com/articles/d4158…
