@lornakmilne Congrats, so exciting!!

[Neil Patel @NeilCCRC]

@ThePhDPlace I feel pretty blessed that I feel my academic superpower is speaking and communicating science! My ability to remain calm and composed on-stage while remaining fairly engaging is the skill I am MOST grateful for.

Now what's my weakness, hmm.. 😂

[Neil Patel @NeilCCRC]

I've heard a lot of buzz about BlueSky. Seriously considering making the jump.
For those who are on the platform, I'm curious about your thoughts?

[Neil Patel @NeilCCRC]

This is compounded by the fact that it has become increasingly difficult to find new faces in academia compared to before. As a PhD trainee, this stunts my networking ability. I do not wish to see the flooding non-relevant content pushed to me.

[Neil Patel @NeilCCRC]

The recent spikes in attacks on academics on X, especially women and POCs in academia, is the final straw for my professional account. It is disheartening to see a platform I used to enjoy engaging with devolve into a deterrent.

[Neil Patel @NeilCCRC]

@lornakmilne Congratulations, one huge leap closer!

[Neil Patel @NeilCCRC]

@lornakmilne We're aiming for the same! I still need to book flights soon, but that sounds like a great idea! I can DM you the details once we finalize 😊

[Neil Patel @NeilCCRC]

This may have been me at the 2022 Proteoglycans GRC 😅 But I'm honored to be coming back as a discussion leader in both GRS and GRC, seeing new and familiar faces, and forging some rich connections! Networking is the name of the game!

[The Struggling Scientists @TheStrugglingS4]

we've all been there🙈

[Neil Patel @NeilCCRC]

@lornakmilne You too!! Hopefully you'll be FAR less jet-lagged so we can celebrate your last year!

[Neil Patel @NeilCCRC]

@rjweiss86 @SFGlycobiology @basuamri Barely crawling my way through LAX as we venture back to Georgia on the worst itinerary known to man, but man was this whole past week worth it! Can't wait to keep climbing to round this year out!

[Neil Patel @NeilCCRC]

Being able to see GAGs at this level of detail feels almost surreal.. Amazing work, and always stuns me seeing the imaging resolutions we're now capable of!

Out today in @ScienceMagazine: Seeing glycans attached to proteins and lipids - at the *single molecule level*! 🎉🎉🎉

Such an honor to be invited back to my 2nd @2022Pg Proteoglycans Gordon Research Conference! Thank you to the amazing organizing committee and looking forward to hearing the awesome work being done on our favorite glycan chains 😄

[Neil Patel @NeilCCRC]

@lornakmilne It's the best!!

[Neil Patel @NeilCCRC]

@lornakmilne And being a first gen is also equally as exciting because sometimes it feels like I'm just paving a road that's never been paved!

[Neil Patel @NeilCCRC]

@lornakmilne Congrats! I love seeing these and have really been considering starting my own 😅

[Neil Patel @NeilCCRC]

Messed up my neck so bad, I've barely been able to move the past couple of days. Having a swivel chair has been my only saving grace to move my eyes from one screen to another during this grant writing 😅

[Neil Patel @NeilCCRC]

Can't wait to check this out!

[Romain Vivès @VivesRomain]

Very proud to be part of this, and thanks to @Glycopedia and @DraganaNikitov1 for giving us the opportunity to share our views on the future of GAG research!

[Neil Patel @NeilCCRC]

@OliverMcClurg @lornakmilne I've had the itch for some time now as well 😅

[Neil Patel @NeilCCRC]

@lornakmilne Yeah, congrats on the lifelong story and icebreaker 🤣
