@smileitsjoy Maybe this is too dark, but after my defense I very legitimately considered killing myself. Only my husband and son stopped me. Much better on the other side though!

I haven't posted much lately, but my first two MS students are graduating this week! I am so proud of the work they have done! #PI #babyPI #happyPI

@ShannonSkalos The baby fever is so real right now!

[ClemmonsBrooke @BrookeClemmons]

Today I am super thankful for amazing, supportive colleagues! @QuailProfessor

@WhatTheADHD This made reading so much easier....

@ShannonSkalos @QuailProfessor i think you found a new catch phrase for the lab!

@MentalWoke I appreciate your take. My husband and I can't biologically have more kids and I've been open to adopting any race but that kid's culture is SO IMPORTANT. I feel like my husband and I can't give that and that's been a struggle for us.

@krwedemeyer Lost my first (very unexpectedly) at 24 weeks. My second was a healthy baby! Now 3. My prayers and heart are with you.

@PVParikh Congrats on the baby! Every stage has its ups and downs. My husband got 2 weeks paternity leave.. I took 4 months during grad school. It was sometimes rough...

[ClemmonsBrooke @BrookeClemmons]

I've had a rough go of it lately (like most of us) and really questioning the work I'm doing. Then I walk in to work with notes like this. Makes everything worth it.

@kepadil1 Ugh me and bioinformatics

[ClemmonsBrooke @BrookeClemmons]

Really struggling. Like really. I love teaching but also miss my research. My institution does not provide adequate resources for either. My mental health has slowly declined and I'm just at a loss for what to do. #Professor #proflife #AcademicTwitter #academia
