Clocked out of my last shift at this incredible critical access hospital (CAH). Returning to the bedside this past year was special. Going to miss my Atchison fam! 🏥 #nurse #milspo

Happy Mother’s Day to the feisty science moms out there.

You’re brilliant! You balance and manage SO MUCH. You bring excellence, creativity, innovation, and humanity to the world.

If I hadn’t seen others having families AND doing science, I wouldn’t have realized I could do it, too.

Thank you ❤️

Getting these during Nurses Week is 🥹. Linking arms with fellow nurses and caring for our patients like they’re family—that’s what #nursing is all about. Happy Nurses Week to all the incredible nurses out there. Grateful and proud to be among the ranks!

I don't get how anyone can possibly be okay with ending the WHI. This study has accrued decades of data from 42000 women and it is still going. It helps to address critical research gaps that have been allowed to go unfilled because of durable misogyny and provides invaluable insight into aging.

I was very intentional in balancing work and fun at this conference because this semester has just been ROUGH. I’m still tired, but it was the emotional boost I needed. (And I’m totally going to see Hamilton again in NYC this June because you guysss….🔥!)

I have a confession

I was an “overhead cost”.

I was a beaker washer, agar plate pourer, research secretary. I was paid by “overhead cost” fees. Loved it.

Those “overhead cost” jobs allowed this rural kid to become a physician.

Anyone else feel like they lived 17 lives in January? I’m just over here slathering these on while a diffuser runs continuously near me. Very little capacity for being on socials these days. 😖

A friend shared these photos a day before this NIH mess happened, reminding our little group that the degree we’re working toward and the programs of research we’re hoping to build matter. It matters. WE’RE PRESSING ON. #nanopreemie #saferpregnancies #saferbirths #researchmatters #supportscience

So glad I got to tune into this today. It was excellent! (+ super cool that they shared an article that an old high school friend of mine wrote! Such a small world!) #cardioOB

I randomly started a running program on 1/3. It has me running 5 miles today. Like what. I didn’t give this enough thought. I’ve run more the past 3 weeks than I did all last semester. This is very typical of me. 🤣 #phdsky #academicsky
