- Omg I really can’t believe this is a debate. Give your techs and undergrads authorship.
- In the best birthday present I've ever gotten, I got a impact score of 10 on my K99 resubmission. I'm in total shock. May or may not be in tears.
- Scientists without kids: we can do this! Zoom meetings! Stay productive! Scientists with kids: what is work even? Did I used to have a job? I have some vague recollection of something called childcare.
- Told my kids that their unborn baby brother likely already has immunity to COVID because of my vaccine. “Wait! So he’s vaccinated before we are?! That’s not fair!!” Sorry kiddos, your turn will come. 😂
- So my kid interrupted my zoom lab meeting to inform me (and everyone else) that “daddy is pooping.” How’s your day going? Mine is in serious need of boundaries.
- I have two small children and work full time and I’ve kept my apartment clean for an entire week. I look forward to my nobel prize.
- The best advice I can give is that I decided a long time ago to stop planning my life around science and start planning science around my life.We can’t be the only ones having existential crises about when the actual eff is a good time to have kids???? PhD, post doc, ‘real job,’ when?? Cause SOS we’re getting old. IT ALL SOUNDS LIKE MADNESS HOW DO YOU PLAN FOR BALANCE #phdchat #AcademicChatter rly tho
- This is really not the way that I imagined making this announcement, but I am thrilled to start spreadin’ the news that this New Yorker is moving on! I’ll be starting my lab at the Max Planck Florida Institute @MPFNeuro in January 2021!
GIF - I am really still in shock, but completely honored and humbled to receive an @NIHDirector @NIH_CommonFund New Innovator Award (DP2) to study the neural basis of interoception using novel transcriptomic methods.
- My Postdoc just got their K99 summary statement back and, of course, I am their greatest weakness. Yes, they have a senior co-mentor. Yes, they have a well-rounded mentoring team. Still, it is just a huge negative for these grants to have a junior PI. 😭
GIF - Oh hey! I took a professional photo and I actually don’t hate it!Congratulations to MPFI Group Leader Sarah Stern, who has been named as a 2020 @statnews Wunderkind for her innovative research into the underlying biology of eating disorders.

- One time I brought my 7 month old daughter to the ER for a suspected fracture. She was cheerful (it’s a long story). I told the admitting staff that she had stopped crawling. “Maybe you were confused and she never really crawled.” They wrote “Mother would like an X-ray.”I am seeing a child today with the most terrifying chief complaint in pediatrics: "Mother thinks something is wrong with her child." Mothers are usually correct. I will be ordering tests.
