A very hard earned submission knocked out! A lot of obstacles but a lot learned. One more paper to submit later this month meaning I’m up to 3 manuscripts for 2025 so far and no stopping in sight 🥳

Bubbles & Vampire Diaries to celebrate! #academia #phd #academicchatter

Happy #APPIC Match Day to all the trainees who matched in phase 2!

It’s important to note over half of P2 applicants did not secure an internship, let alone an APA accredited spot, and truly speaks to the major problems with the current APPIC system that need to be improved for trainees.

How come no one told me the absolute elatedness that comes with your RAs telling you they got into PhD programs?! 🥳 Best feeling ever to watch them achieve their dreams!

Somewhere in the U.S., there’s a scientist staring at their NSF/NIH grant application wondering why they bother. This post is for you. Science and society both need you. Hang in there and know there is a whole community supporting you.

I… and I can’t stress this enough… loathe the EPPP. Why can’t you just let me live, ASPPB!!!!! 🫠🥴

Literally the worst feeling to know you, your colleagues, and all the trainees in the post-doc/internship are all at risk of losing a future we worked so hard for.

I did it!! I ran my first ever half-marathon in Cali with my better half. Running became a hobby on internship & I’m so excited I accomplished this goal. A reminder to all that you can do hard things 🤩
