I cannot believe I just had the opportunity to attend @sapirelm's dissertation defense. Her intelligence and dedication have been inspiring me for years, but today was on another level. Cheers to you and all the ways you will change your field for the better 🎉

Bohemian rhapsody for postdocs:

Is this a real job?
Or more like a PhD?
Caught in short contracts
No chance of stability

Open your eyes
Look up to PIs and see
I'm just a postdoc
I get no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
Stress is high
Pay is low

@sapirelm Your plant legacy lives on though! The one you gave me a year ago is having its own babies now

When a scientist comes to a conclusion, they should say “Data!” in the same tone a magician says “Tada!”

@sapirelm Has someone done a cover yet??

[Melissa Noel Horger, PhD @MNHorger]

@sapirelm I sent out my sleep equipment for the first time in a year to collect data today!

@ProfSarahBerger As many misgivings as I have about birds, corvids are really cool. I'm always surprised by how smart they prove to be when given the opportunity.

Hey @ProfSarahBerger, big news! We can now extend the locomotor A-not-B paradigm to cats 😂

[Melissa Noel Horger, PhD @MNHorger]

@ProfSarahBerger We could have taught a carrier pigeon in that time

[Melissa Noel Horger, PhD @MNHorger]

We also listened to an Indie Pop playlist during capping instead of me performing such classic hits as Wheels on the Bus and Old McDonald 🥰🥰🥰

I love doing research with infants, but I just asked an undergrad not to move around too much while collecting the EEG data and they actually did it. It was beautiful and so was the data.
