In a time when support for junior scientists is disappearing, how can you plan for a career in STEM? I think it starts by thinking of science as a big map with many routes and destinations, instead of a pipeline. 🧪

If you're wondering why Blue Sky is creaking a little right now: new user growth has exceeded *one million* in 27 hours
This may be the fastest Mass Defection Event in internet history to date. Bluesky has 20 devs
It will bounce back but some growing pains are inevitable!

This is the least excited I’ve ever been about the World Cup. Hate the board to the core that I truly truly wish the cup is not presented in the Ahmedabad stadium, by its namesake to the Indian team.
Would be major election points :/

The best part of research imo, is when you are running your experiment and you have new data coming in and you know you are going to spend the next couple of days exploring the hidden potential of all those data files!
The exhilaration of data analysis.

Soooo, I went on a date with a tech boy (yeah, I should have known better) who spent the entirety of it arguing how providing people with better salaries will only make them lazier.
Oh also, apparently India would still have polio if not for Bill Gates.
I’m done with humanity for a while.

I’m happy to inform that I did not do any work this weekend and enjoyed it the way it was meant to be enjoyed - on the couch and guilt free.
…and sick. But hey, at least that helped me be guilt free!
