@bukkitboi @YashaExplores It's "cutely" because you like them. Obsession is not cute innately. There's nothing cute about being the object of someone's obsession when you do not like them and the feelings are not reciprocal.

[Rebecca Valentine @NeuroValentine]

@dullomlette @YashaExplores Literally came here to say the exact same thing.

@HealthyScience1 @PhDVoice That is the scary reality! But I wish you every little bit of luck and success with your startup- keep me up to date :)!

[Rebecca Valentine @NeuroValentine]

I sometimes feel like everyone is LOOKING for a STEM-based business that makes them feel valued, that allows them to BE a human being, not a number. But is anyone starting these companies?

@HealthyScience1 @PhDVoice Yes! I feel like there is a lack of business support/training/leadership for the STEM cohort, to give us the tools, and show us where to start!

Proud to see @MarLav1984 presenting at #SoMGala21

Not only is she ridiculously smart, but she's a great role model for women in #STEM, and a pleasure to work with!

That it's important to craft your own identity as a researcher. What do you want to be known for?

Deeply inspired by @misssdjohnson
Talking about how our weirdness is not a problem to be solved, it's an opportunity. Ask the difficult questions to your leaders.
What will you do differently to improve our broken systems that are disproportionally holding people back?

A beautiful talk by @scammell66 this morning, that really touched close to home.

It's hard to find your work/life balance. But don't sacrifice your friends and family if all you are going to be left with at the end is regrets and money. We all need money but find your balance.

Or does anyone already work for one of these mythical companies?

@iAquarius202 @PeanutGallery33 @EmilyArtful Wasnt it something about being in the carpark of a Walmart and there was someone hanging around her car?

I've never met an academic that wouldn't make time for me if I asked. They've even made time when I need it and didn't/couldn't ask❤️Maybe I'm just very lucky?

[Sadie Durkacz Ryan @sadie_d_ryan]

Sometimes I hear people talk about how cutthroat the academic world is, but every interaction I have with another academic involves them offering help and support, even though I know everyone is overworked. Hot take: institutions are cutthroat, academics are lovely.*

@_Astro_Nerd_ @sanjanacurtis I might just start putting x X x at the end of all my e-mails to soften the blow of whatever dreadful event has resulted in me having to send another e-mail 😂

[Rebecca Valentine @NeuroValentine]

@DraegerNews Thank you so much, I think it might have been an error on my side- all registered now!

[Rebecca Valentine @NeuroValentine]

@DraegerNews Having trouble registering my interest for the Advanced Ventilation Symposium you're running in June- is this event still going ahead :)?

[Rebecca Valentine @NeuroValentine]

@mstrisarahtops Oh girl, you know how to flatter me <3 ... Oh! You meant the drawing... Okay then🥺

[Rebecca Valentine @NeuroValentine]

When making pretty notes is life 😍📝❤️

Is there anything better than making really aesthetically pleasing notes 😂? If there is, sign me up please, drawing your own diagrams is highly distracting, and I need an intervention!

[Rebecca Valentine @NeuroValentine]

Little win for today!

@EMDocNetwork I was just wondering if you might be doing any further conferences in 2021 (perhaps virtually?) as I'd love to attend again!

[Rebecca Valentine @NeuroValentine]

It's the little victories like this that make me keep going 😁- coding doesn't come naturally to me, but if I WANT to do something, I WILL do it ❤️ #proud #womenofstem #girlswhocode
