Happy to share that I just published my first paper!

@Koi_no_Nao @lunarrabbot @therealbuni Yo do realize this is AFTER the earthquake ?🙄

@scientistswrite Mendeley but idk, if someone makes a case for Zotero or any other ref. manager I might try it out. I like the notebook in Mendeley but there are some other features I don't like

Can we take a minute to appreciate this beauty?

This is Dynamine serina, a #Butterfly that, despite being widespread, is not so common in #Cuba. I just saw it in person for the first time and was able to take these 🥹

These are very common butterflies in Cuba. I took these pictures in Havana while studying the butterflies that inhabit the city. Beautiful, aren't they?

@yendorcire @BrandSanderson It really depends on your personal taste. My advice: find someone who knows your taste in books and that has read the Cosmere and ask for their input. For me, I loved reading Elantris first but it's not a fan favorite. Most people enjoy reading Mistborn first. Hope it helps

[Clau @ClauLoiz]

The answers are pure gold

Give one example of an academic first-world problem?

[Clau @ClauLoiz]

It's amazing how this tiny little butterfly can expand it's range so much, even entering urban habitats. Welcome to Havana, little one.

@LizWFab They need training for the unhealthy work-life balance that will be expected of them 🥸

Academics: I love that on Twitter I have an international community I can engage with at any time

@GabyBio382 Entonces es culpa de @Twitter 😂

@weronikaklecel @DrVikkiBurns @PhD_Genie @PHDcomics @PhD_Connect Same! I even have a folder for my google alerts, even though I haven't open those in a while, just so that my inbox looks empty 😅

@amydjohn @workingbnb I quit smoking (cigarettes), one of the best and hardest decisions of my life and did it without gaining any weight

@gvleioras @DrasmaJabeen1 @catarinacanario @PhDVoice @PhD_Genie @yourPhDpal @phdfriend The abstract itself belongs to a paper intended for a more specialized readership but the takeaway message works for everyone. Anyways, this is specifically for Nature journals.

@FlinnGA Congratulations!!! That's huge.

biking is the cheapest way to get around,and ofc,eco-friendly as well. It's also a great way to de-stress and take care of our mental health,something every PhD student definitely needs!(4/4)

One fun thing about doing field work in the city is that I can get to many of the sampling sites by bike (1/4)

And yes, it also has a few "small" inconveniences, particularly tropical weather conditions. It's either very sunny and hot or pouring (yay wet season!) but it has many more advantages. Since most of us in Cuba don't own a car and public transportation is always overcrowded(3/4)
