I've heard a lot of buzz about BlueSky. Seriously considering making the jump. For those who are on the platform, I'm curious about your thoughts?.

Nor should I have to extensively try to "re-tailor" my page to show relevant content again. Note: I've been trying this and I have not seen enough of a difference to warrant any more effort.

This is compounded by the fact that it has become increasingly difficult to find new faces in academia compared to before. As a PhD trainee, this stunts my networking ability. I do not wish to see the flooding non-relevant content pushed to me.

The recent spikes in attacks on academics on X, especially women and POCs in academia, is the final straw for my professional account. It is disheartening to see a platform I used to enjoy engaging with devolve into a deterrent.

This may have been me at the 2022 Proteoglycans GRC 😅 But I'm honored to be coming back as a discussion leader in both GRS and GRC, seeing new and familiar faces, and forging some rich connections! Networking is the name of the game!.

Being able to see GAGs at this level of detail feels almost surreal. Amazing work, and always stuns me seeing the imaging resolutions we're now capable of!.

Such an honor to be invited back to my 2nd @2022Pg Proteoglycans Gordon Research Conference! Thank you to the amazing organizing committee and looking forward to hearing the awesome work being done on our favorite glycan chains 😄.

Messed up my neck so bad, I've barely been able to move the past couple of days. Having a swivel chair has been my only saving grace to move my eyes from one screen to another during this grant writing 😅.

Can't wait to check this out!.

So what's this talk about Mastodon?.

My NSF GRFP application is submitted, and now the agonizing wait for decision announcement begins 🥴.

🥲.oh.

Thanks xylose for providing me employment 😄.

RT @lornakmilne: An LGBTQIA+ woman, studying glycans 🥲 what a win!.

I've been playing with color-blind friendly color palettes that don't look jarring and I hate/love that I've landed on @MegCritcher 's Charizard scheme. Mic drop moment is hopefully on its way.

RT @mbeisen: King Charles III is an inspiration for postdocs everywhere.

No but really though, someone cross your fingers for me.

I hate westerns I hate westerns I hate westerns I hate westerns

I've got a real bad case of wanting to finish my PhD. It's terminal.

Inflation rate vs. this year's stipend increase? Forget Impostor Syndrome, how about Survival Instinct 😅.
