@jessLdoerner Oh that’s awesome. I’ll check!

[Caitlin L Williams, PhD @ProfCaitlinW]

What shoes do other young science professors wear?

I need close-toed and safe for lab, but also comfortable enough to be on my feet all day, but also nice enough to not look weird with dress pants and a blazer. Does this shoe even exist?

@aliciaandrz @Momademia @AcademicChatter Had my son during postdoc and starting TT this fall when he’s almost a year old. Happy to chat more.

[Caitlin L Williams, PhD @ProfCaitlinW]

I had lunch with a former student yesterday. They work as a lab manager now and said my class was the reason they got their first job before this one. ���

Bringing authentic research opportunities to every student through CURE courses has an impact, y’all! 🙌 #AcademicChatter

@arielmaelambe All of my students called me miss when I taught in Kosovo. Being addressed that way gives me some warm fuzzies.

I can’t wait to teach again and build a research program focused on undergraduates. #livingthedream
