Developmental neurobiologist and human in STEM at Davidson College. I ❤️ microscopes, neurons, embryos, seltzer, WI, Peloton, & more.
This week,
1 - I went to the doctor,
2 - I went to the mountains,
3 - I looked to the children,
4 - I drank from the fountains.
Dear OPM,
This week,

1) I took my love,
2) I took it down.
3) I climbed a mountain,
4) I turned around. And
5) I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills, 'til the landslide brought me down.
Dear OPM,

This week I,
1. I sailed across the Sun
2. I made it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
3. And saw that Heaven is overrated
4. I fell for a shooting star (one without a permanent scar)
5. I missed you while I was looking for myself out there

For 🦋 reading recommendation 📚 convos I must share:
Turning to Stone: Discovering the Subtle Wisdom of Rocks by Marcia Bjornerud (2024)
An artful and smart narrative that uniquely interweaves geology with memoir - beauty, honesty, and passion I so appreciated as a contrast to this ugly week 5⭐️

Take a screenshot of this GIF, and whichever new word you land on is YOUR word for 2025.

May the odds be ever in your favor.
