The quote on the left reads, “Finding your passion and charting your career journey takes time and sometimes some trial-and-error. That’s normal and perfectly okay. Experience guides our decision-making. Finally, and most importantly of all, don't stop believing in yourself.” - Dr. Ashley Dalrymple There is a photo of Ashley on the right.

It rarely happens these days, but I managed to clear my inbox! I keep all unanswered emails in my inbox, and immediately file them away into folders once I have responded. It pains me to have an inbox that fills 1 page on my screen.

It will probably last for 5 minutes, but I will take the win!

Fun with ruminants.

I love Pittsburgh! Did my postdoc training there!

It's interesting that they still end up taking their kid to a hospital. They know what they're doing is wrong, and when it's gone too far, they revert back to medicine.

What a great idea for reading evals. Sorry that you had one that was so personally attacking.

This is such a great idea for reading evals!

I made this mitochondrion wood piece yesterday. #sciart #biology

New version of the neuron humming bird. It is composed of 12 independent #neuron cells manually cut out of wood. This piece will be donated to @SfNOttawa for an auction 🇨🇦. The back is bubinga wood. The humming bird is made out of walnut, padauk, maple (obviously 🍁) and cherry woods.

I thought the same thing!

Is this for real? That's what you're trying to tell people? And these photos? Shame on you.

Just standing here, asking reviewers for fellowships to double check when an assistant professor started their lab and ask, 'well what might have happened early on in that process that could have slowed down publications?'

Audit the parents like you audit University Departments. How did this have no oversight?

My laboratory at Université Laval in Québec City, Canada, is looking for a postdoc to study how neuromodulatory systems impact cortical processing during foraging behavior. This fully-funded position offers a collaborative environment in a great city. More info👇

Is it a bad omen if not one, but two birds hit the window during our faculty meeting?

Spotted: Uber and Lyft drivers hanging out together in a parking lot, but not accepting ride requests. They're likely working together to time-out requests so that demand looks higher than it is, driving up prices.

Calgary, Alberta did an episode of this. It ended with children with rotted teeth. I live in Utah now, and knowing how much sugar is consumed, the dentists there are about to make a lot more money.

Yeah that was a great session from the American Spinal Cord Injury Association! If you like that session, check out the conference! :) asia-spinalinjury.org

if you weren't touched by Scott's talk about his experience using motor and sensory BCI, did you even attend IFESS at #RehabWeek2025?

See what I did there?

Hidden Canada 2025: Ten travel destinations around the country to explore this summer The eighth edition of The Globe’s annual travel guide celebrates Canadian wanderlust with 10 new destinations

The @theglobeandmail.com publishes their Canada travel guide as the May long weekend approaches. Last year my pal @carrietait.bsky.social wrote about us golfing in Drumheller. This year there are 10 new stories that are wild. Go see Canada, we're gorgeous. www.theglobeandmail.com/life/travel/...

I don’t know which academic needs to hear this but yes you should absolutely email other academics just to tell them you enjoyed their article/book/chapter. Just do it. Don’t overthink it.

Hello So-and-so, just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed ‘Title’. Hope you’re well. Best, You.

Done.
