Postdoc in animal behaviour and welfare. Raising a puppy for the first time. Sleeping less than I should.
Last week we had (a dusting of) snow! Fia adores it and makes the most of it by thoroughly engaging with it at every opportunity

Checking the doggy daycare Facebook page and realising they dressed Fia up for Halloween is exactly what I needed on this rainy Friday

Me: at my desk wading through peer review comments and ethical approval forms, trying to finish my PhD while starting a new job, stressy

Fia: has apparently never been so relaxed in her life

Every morning when I wake up Fia comes and lays on the pillow for morning snuggles, and if the snuggles aren’t good enough she lets me know by smushing her head directly onto my face 😂

Bluesky academics, let's get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren't working on but keep thinking about.

1) ‘priority boarding’ to the milking machine for at-risk dairy cows
2) robotically milked dairy cows & cognitive function

More often than not, I hear countless stories about the toxic culture that exists within academia.

Setting boundaries IS self-care.

#AcademicSky #MentalHealthSky, how are you setting boundaries in your work and environment?
