Sad to be missing out on all of the great science at ACNP this year, but apparently even if I was there, I would not be able to enjoy the current sessions because someone is on a their 7thday of a nap boycott๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

Thank you so much! I was planning to bring a pump back & forth but Iโ€™ll just leave my extra there! I never considered freezing at the office ๐Ÿค”. AND yikes I do not want to go back to those oversupply days so thatโ€™s a great reminder to take the pump off

No one talks about how difficult it can be to lose one of your mentors/science mom as an early career investigator. CAB was one of one ๐Ÿ˜Š

As I transition back to academia after a beautiful maternity leave, I need all the advice from my fellow science mommas, especially those that breastfeed! How in the world do you manage teaching research grant writing mentoring and being a mom?!?! Times like this make me miss Charlotte even more

As an ECI this is super discouragingโ€ฆI was working on a grant, I will continue to work on grants but the current landscape reminds me to focus more on whatโ€™s important not what grants will be available when I return from maternity leave

Itโ€™s so interesting that the current admin says it will invest in HBCUs but turns around & terminates the SURE program which directly benefits smaller universities & HBCUsโ€ฆit almost seems like that executive order was all for show *gasps in fake surprise*

No way that anyone with any amount of intelligence or common sense can believe if this is someway, efficient or best practice..one has to assume this is a tacit to intimidate & cause mass chaos by keeping the fed work force in a constant state of fear & uncertainty bc this level of incompetence
