I forgot I had this account tbh...
But I graduated from UT 🥳
And I'm now a Postdoc at the National Museum of Natural History 🥳
Image of a white woman in a darkened auditorium in black doctoral regalia smiling. Image of a white woman in glasses and a denim blouse smiling in the foreground with the sign at the front of the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History in the background. Not all text in the sign is visible.

person: so what are you looking for?
me: my will to live
A graduate student gazes determinedly into a microscope searching for some kind of meaning, purpose, or joy in this tragic reality. Also for microfossils in support of PhD research.

Just writing my lil dissertation amidst *gestures everywhere* 😌
Image of classic "this is fine" comic consisting of 6 panels. Panel 1 is a dog sitting at a table in a room on fire. Panel 2 is the dog smiling and saying "This is fine." Panel 3 shows dog about to drink a cup of coffee and saying "I'm okay with the events that are unfolding currently." Panel 4 shows the dog drinking coffee as the dog's arm catches fire. Panel 5 shows the dog setting the cup back down and saying "That's okay, things are going to be okay." Panel 6 shows the dog's face melting. Gruesome, but accurate.
