@springsNwings Thank you so much James!!!!! You da best

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH congrats to @MagsterZhang for receiving the @NSF GRFP this year! She is a star researcher and a person I got to work with on so many different projects while she was at @GeorgiaTech! She's kickin' ass at @UMich now, working with @EMBiRLab1! So proud 🐘🦍🦊

Research is really cool and fun. Research is also really super cool and really super fun when you are having a good time in lab and can go to your advisor for… advice. My advisor is absolutely fantastic and it’s made a huge difference in how I work and approach challenges 5/5

[Maggie Zhang @MagsterZhang]

Since everyone is starting to hear back from graduate programs, I would really like to emphasize that LAB CULTURE and PI COMPATIBILITY is very important and should be a metric in your decision process. It makes a huge difference. 1/n

[Maggie Zhang @MagsterZhang]

Talk to your prospective lab mates, ask your prospective advisor what their advising style is. Decide if that fits with YOU. I know folks who cry before and after each lab meeting, I know folks in the SAME LAB that are having a splendid time. It’s about what fits. 4/n

@springsNwings Such a cool paper James!!!! Congrats!

[James Lynch @springsNwings]

So thrilled to have this work out in the world! This interdisciplinary work was so much fun and challenged us to think and communicate across disciplines in addition to between institutions. Thanks and congratulations to everyone involved!

[Maggie Zhang @MagsterZhang]

Had a fantastic time working on this with y’all! Absolutely love working with scientists from different fields and learning about their different prospectives and understandings

Excited that my review on hydrostat motion is now published in @BiologyOpen! It was fantastic to work with @KrishmaSingal, @MagsterZhang, and @KoleChameleon on this piece! We discuss the Structure-Function-Mechanism that drive hydrostat motion, paper here: https://t.co/y9LAAMsAwO

Dear future Maggie: please do not ever volunteer for anything on a boat. You will never enjoy the sea. You will never be a pirate.

Can’t forget the plants!!!! Look how the water droplets form on this drip tip!!!

So incredibly lucky to get to hike the jungles of Brunei with a local student, a biologist, and a bioengineer. They sight and identify cool things while I get to follow behind and observe said cool things because I have no idea what’s goin on.

(Cool things posted in thread)

I apologize because I don’t know the actual name of anything.
