I had a great time taking part in the open day last Saturday!
Working in the MaxLab was a great experience (&humbling, the kids were so smart 🧠). I hope they learned 1/3 much about the science of the senses as I did German! 🧪
Thank for joining us, and I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did 😊

I am teaching my phd writing workshop course this quarter, question: are there any words/phrases said to you by an advisor/mentor that stuck with you, were memorable, or particularly helpful? If so please reply below!

Well the NIH has cancelled the Women's Health Initiative, the largest study of women in history
It has been running continuously since 1991 and has provided massive key knowledge about diseases in women

Working alongside such kind and talented colleagues, who are more than happy to share their knowledge and help, has made me feel even more motivated to stay in this field. As a first-gen “academic” it is really hard to feel like you belong in academia, but this lab has done that for me 😊

And this is one reason why Egon Musk wants his AFD stooges in power, fascist capitalism.
Elon is a toxic 🤡.
"Tesla’s factory has been ejecting 6 x more hazardous pollutants into the water system than its permits allow. Tesla had been warned five times since last March that its pollution levels were exceeding its agreed limits but it not taken action."
