@KendraCase If it's really messing up your mental and physical health, it's never too late to get out! I left my PhD back in March this year after 4.5 years and am now astronomically happier than i was 3 months ago

@KendraCase 🙃🙃🙃 no moderator intervention??

This would make a 🔥🔥🔥 album cover 🤣

@meganjfrancis @BioTranslucence Damn...and I thought I found all the cool swag! No idea how I missed that 🤣

[Jensen Tomberlin @ScienceStace]

And thats a wrap for #SfN2023! thank you to everyone who visited my poster sessions and reached out to discuss my work! Special shout outs for @FUNfaculty for hosting a grrat social and #twitterlessAnna who I met in person and checked out talks and symposiums with this week!

[Jensen Tomberlin @ScienceStace]

Took me about 3.5 hours but finally made it all the way through the Exhibit Hall at #SfN23 all that's left is to get here at 9:30 for the black @Thorlabs t-shirt 👌 #SfN2023 #sfn

Literally haven't stopped thinking about Lincolns Waffle Shop since the last time I was at SFN in DC in 2017. Finally got a break to stop by for brunch, you've got to go if you are in town for #SfN23

[Jensen Tomberlin @ScienceStace]

And I have to mention the presidential lecture too! What an incredible set of experiments looking at axonal regeneration and remyelination In a variety of CNS injuries! #SfN2023

[Jensen Tomberlin @ScienceStace]

Another great day of checking out posters, exhibits, and attending a workshop detailing how to make students feel more at home in the classroom! Topped it all off with an excellent poster presentation and even better conversations about my work! Thank you to everyone who came by!

It wouldn't be SFN without PETA handing out flyers about how neuroscience kills animals. The addition of the crying monkey inflatable is an interesting touch though this year!

[Jensen Tomberlin @ScienceStace]

Accurate, the poster floor is a madhouse this year 🤣

[Fergil Mills @fergilmills]

Quietly singing the alphabet song to myself so I know which way to go in the poster hall at #SfN 🥲

[Jensen Tomberlin @ScienceStace]

Big day of networking, meeting potential new PhDs, and finishing off the day with the TPDA awardee recognition and Presidential lecture! Great day at #SfN2023

[Jensen Tomberlin @ScienceStace]

My poster is EE16 tonight, come check it out at the TPDA poster session!

[Jensen Tomberlin @ScienceStace]

#SfN23 journey starting off a little rough with a missed morning flight but we are pushing through! Come see a good chunk of my PhD work at the #TPDA poster session tonight at 6:30 or at my poster on Monday, I'll be there from at least 4-5pm. Excited for a week full of science!

SFN blunder #2: put my award ribbon on the wrong side and tore off some of the badge when reapplying it 🙃 luckily you can still tell I'm a student member #SfN2023 #SfN23

[Chris Cowan @ChristophWCowan]

SfN graduate fair! Booth #27 ⁦@musc_cgs⁩ ⁦@neuro_MUSC⁩

[Jensen Tomberlin @ScienceStace]

And check out @edakarakaya123's presentation on our adjacent project in collaboration with Dr. Ogretmen at MUSC studying p17-mediated mitophagy as a neuroprotective response to TBI!

[Jensen Tomberlin @ScienceStace]

Also, check out @edakarakaya123's presentation on Dr. Albayrams collaboration at MUSC regarding p17-mediated mitophagy as a neuroprotextive response to TBI! Wednesday from 1-5pm don't miss it!

[Jensen Tomberlin @ScienceStace]

Despite all the stress associated with it, I'm happy to announce that I received a SFN TPDA travel award for this upcoming meeting! So excited to share my work with everyone and am extremely grateful to the donors that made this possible! #SFN
