@BatesPhysio I am planning on taking a 2 year sabbatical after my PhD and the hardest fear to overcome was about the gap in the CV. But realised that life always happens and I will find my way back where I best fit in, rather than bending backwards for thankless jobs/industries.

I just published the 10th episode of Choosing Science: Stories of Perseverance, Humanity, and Success on @buzzsprout! https://t.co/yGkzAnKITA

This starts a new mini series on model organisms who have #LivesToRemember

[Choosing Science @LivesToRemember]

New episode on Prof. Rita Levi-Montalcini's life and great accomplishments, despite moving her lab in her bedroom at some point and the wrath of WWII. She created a new field of study by discovering the nerve growth factor (NGF) and won a Nobel Prize for it. #LivesToRemember

@RKZwick Keep me posted, please! Being the godmother is a serious role, I need to prepare myself.
Congrats once again! Great work 🎊

@FZMarques From "you didn't fuflfill the promised deadline, you must be stupid and lazy" to "you didn't contribute to this presentation's data and the only slide you came up with is bad/lazy". This is just from the top of my head. Who needs enemies with supervisors like this?

@ThePhDPlace Organogenesis, development, cell self-organisation

What if scientific articles had a short section titled: “What I really think.” No references, no justification, just transmission of your current internal model in <250 words. Would save a lot of reading between the lines.

@RKZwick I am glad you liked it! I was afraid I lost my power to make puns 😂
Congrats on your paper btw, really cool work! Well done ✨

@RKZwick Greek mythology never disappoints.
The Charities (Attendants of Aphrodite on vase paintings):

Anthea (Blossoms/Flowers)
Eudaemonia (Prosperity)
Pannychis (Parties)
Paedia (Play)
Pandaesia (Banquet).

All about a happy gut 😂

"Karikó’s career seems like an exercise in rejection. What kept her going, she says, wasn’t that she felt like her long hours would eventually pay off with worldwide recognition, but that she didn’t care if they did. “I felt successful when others considered me unsuccessful”"
