How I feel today, being my own tile scanner, moving the slide 0.00000001cm at a time, and using photoshop to turn it into a complete picture

Also fun fact, apparently if you type a “w” too many times, Bluesky thinks you’re trying to speak polish!

Sorry I just need to vent about jobs real fast. I applied for some jobs outside of academia. One made me take AN HOUR LONG TEST. This was for a science communication position. The test:
-simple addition and subtraction (easy pass)
-working memory test (also passed)
-100 q personality quiz

I’m def not the first person to say this, but we really did T-Pain dirty. He literally revolutionized a whole genre. And have y’all listened to On Top of the Covers? You need to. He has the voice of an angel.

I wanted to post some photos of the #InternationalWomensDayMarch yesterday, alongside older protests saying “spot the difference”, but there is a difference. Inclusivity and intersectionality. Rights for all means ALL. #resist #TuLuchaEsMiLucha

Catch me in Austin tomorrow at #StandUpForScience!

Things suck but I’m also getting pretty amped for a weekend of protesting, on Saturday I’ll be part of an international women’s day march, bringing water and snacks to that as well!

Maybe this is just a poorly made grad school memes page now✌🏼 but for real, I’m graduating no matter how many cool projects pop up!

The FBI is hiring teachers…? Can someone who speaks corporate/government translate this for me? Cause the concept is super confusing

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but a meme can express a thousand feelings #deep #gradschool #research #academia

And later they go on about how important it is to treat the animals kindly and that really rats are sweet and gentle if you just treat them right... I wish we still wrote like this

Here's the link to the paper I'm reading if anyone is interested: books.google.com/books?hl=en&...

Like I'm literally about to cry. In this paper they talk about a strain of rats they bred, indicating they didn't know the strain would be named after them yet😭 Someone tell me they found out eventually!
And they fed the rats table scraps, how cute!

Getting set up for my presentation science communication! Stop by at 2pm to learn how to communicate yourself and your science (and to get a free 3D printed rat)! #winterbrain2025 #scicomm #sciencecommunication

Practicing my talk for tomorrow! Stop by our professional development session on communicating yourself and your science for my talk on science communication! Topics include finding the right form of scicomm for you and using social media for scicomm! #winterbrain2025 #scicomm

Learned an extremely important lesson from this evening’s astrocyte session:

Don’t trust conference technology!

Luckily they got the projector working about halfway through @mattjwanat.bsky.social’s awesome talk and I think he did an excellent job making up for the technical difficulties😂
