A bit belated but exciting life update: This September, I started a lab at the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute (#LTRI) and the University of Toronto @MoGen_Grad! Our lab will study molecular mechanisms through which neurons optimize cellular functions based on experience.

about to end my second and final co-op of my undergraduate career, and wow, am i feeling things.
writing my protocols to be EXTREMELY detailed so i can be “head empty, no thoughts” while i’m doing my experiments
gave myself tmj inflammation yikes
Just out of curiosity, retweet if you were told by a teacher or advisor you couldn’t be where you are today.
went to mount my slices on a slide and found out spotify was down...... how is one supposed to function now?
it's that time of the year where i have to learn the krebs cycle again only to forget it within three weeks
Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Couldn't be a better day to start my new photography project: Portraits of women in science. Let me introduce you Sherry Lin, a data scientist who studies computational modeling of behavior at @harvardmed #WomeninScienceDay
We are excited to announce the release of a plug-and-play version of Motion Sequencing (MoSeq), a tool for characterizing mouse behavior (see new website here: bit.ly/3gWaP3T)
i swear i can do differential calculus with no problem but the moment you ask me to calculate volumes for dilutions my brain just leaves the chat

To the people calling me a “DEI” and saying that it’s good that I was rejected, you can leave your racism at the door. I am a McNair Scholar and NIH IRTA Post-Bacc who graduated with honors. And, thanks to sheer spite ALONE, I’m reapplying to PhD programs again next cycle.
Oh by the way if you're so inclined, check out my children's book! I wrote it to help neurodivergent kids and there's a penguin: resiliencymentalhealth.com/2023/10/01/sli…
Since then I’ve been at sea a bit but yday I pulled everything together and submitted her first ever peer-reviewed publication. I even included her cover letter along with my own. She will remain the first author and I will make sure of that. 7/10
My friend is a PhD student whose dog is trained to alert emotional distress. She did not realize that bringing the dog to work would result in the dog alerting the whole damn lab all day.

A white dietian said with her whole chest that salsa wasn't a serving of vegetables. Like, onions, peppers, and cilantro turned into chocolate bars and cake the moment you turned them into salsa. I need ppl to deal in reality bc living on this planet w/ppl like this is painful.

I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again (and again and again), plz don’t make us guess the sex of your animals. Take just 30 seconds to let us know (that you probably only used males).
I need to acknowledge our director of grad studies @GregoryRSL for treating all students—current, past, accepted, & rejected—with the kindness that academia can so sadly lack. He’s going viral on Reddit for his thoughtful rejection letters, & I hope other programs follow suit.
1) Builds strong people management skills - making sure undergrads follow the syllabus, grading is fair and everyone gets equal attention 2) Public speaking & sci comm - translating complicated topics and delivering them in an engaging way is highly sought after in many jobs
3) project management - planning the calendar, syllabus and regular office hours, being a buffer between PIs and undergrads and proctoring tests/exams.
Being a TA in grad school turned out to be the most useful source of translatable skill for industry. TAing is underrated and often considered a burden for PhD students. But it can prepare you for a great career outside academia 🧵
we’re raising such a good human being 🥲
How inspiring is it that we are alive at a time when we are just discovering this new class of paradoxical and promiscuous rock stars like Zoozve that remind us how weird and temporary and connected everything in the universe is. And how much we still don’t know.
