             Things I count on: - My grandma to pray for me. - My mom to be optimistic for me. - My dad to “ride at dawn” for me. Over time, I’ve learned when each team player I need most. Now, in this moment, I need my daddy.

             The @ChanZuckerberg meeting has unlocked a new scientific meeting code: everyone met at the gym 1 hour before breakfast. It’s soooo motivating and fun! Today, we try to take a picture BEFORE we sweat.

             Last week was one of the worst professional weeks I’ve ever had. So, I was frozen and unproductive. My lab family held me down in many ways. My lab manager took things off my plate; Postdocs helped see a grant to the finish line. @KizzyPhD_Lab is family. Thank God for that.

             I never thought I would admit this, but scientific writing is becoming second nature now. I’ve always preferred more poetic narrative writing instead.

             My Wall Street friend once said “ppl in academia don’t understand that you should leave BEFORE the CEO is fired. The restructuring plan the board has in mind may not include you if you’re junior. She’s never wrong, btw.

             Up brainstorming my next career perspective. I owe @NatureCareers one! Thinking I’m going to expand upon my @unc commencement speech “Home”  https://t.co/0Ka4MQwKqN  or about being recruited as a junior faculty member isn’t the same as being retained. Beware!
