@jacasiegel I hope my spite can carry me through to the finish line. 🤞

For those who follow in my footsteps... don't. More specifically, don't try to wean yourself off Effexor while writing your #dissertation and looking for a job in the 7th month of your first pregnancy. #AcademicTwitter

[Caitlin Madison (she/her) @NeuroCaitlin]

Yes, I did log the two hours I spent crying yesterday morning as working on my dissertation, thank you for asking.

Today I learned that the maximum number of open Firefox tabs my laptop can handle is 65. The next job interview where someone asks me what my weaknesses are, I now have an answer: too many open tabs.

@BracerGandruil @mongibeddu @RezekJoe Ah, yes, the dreaded proxy URLs. My students have a difficult time with those. When they access a journal article through the library, they get a proxy URL. I have had students insist that is the only URL for that source even when the doi is on the 1st page of the document. 😐

[Caitlin Madison (she/her) @NeuroCaitlin]

@mongibeddu Thanks, I hate it.

The FDA has approved the opioid overdose-reversing nasal spray Narcan for over-the-counter sale without a prescription! It's still a little pricey at $50/two doses, but this should improve access regardless. https://t.co/7d9uvliWwv

@DavidBegnaud I have that same tic! Idk why it's so exciting that someone else also has it, but it is.

Last night I got to represent @GPSGTAMU at the Student Leader BBQ. We had a great conversation with President Banks who took the time to sit down and listen to our concerns. What an awesome evening!

[Caitlin Madison (she/her) @NeuroCaitlin]

@one_rainydae Yes, and we had a lively discussion about the metabolic pathways of serotonin and dopamine. 😂

A small reminder that some DACA students who grew up, live, and work in some states are still ineligible for in-state tuition. And that's just wrong, but there's thing we can do to fix it.

@dahliataha But what about Diet Dr. Pepper? Pure aspartame in a bottle! 😍

[Caitlin Madison (she/her) @NeuroCaitlin]

@dahliataha I'm a UHCL hawk two times over, but I gotta say... Being an Aggie > Being a Hawk 👍🏻

[Caitlin Madison (she/her) @NeuroCaitlin]

I'm honored to receive The Aggie Core Values Award from the Graduate & Professional Student Government! I strive to embody the core values (RELLIS) in all that I do, and it feels great to be recognized for that. 🥲

My nighttime skin care routine! (🔪)

[Caitlin Madison (she/her) @NeuroCaitlin]

@RobbDawson4 @Ayomideolife @JuliaRaifman Yes! This also made me think of Dr. Farmer, particularly with his recent passing. He knew that social issues and medicine could not be separated - that doctors should treat the person, not just the disease.

[Caitlin Madison (she/her) @NeuroCaitlin]

Rest in peace, Dr. Farmer. May your thoughtful wisdom live on in the thousands you have helped and the millions who have read your writings.
