My Ph.D thesis looked at genetic and environmental relationships between sleep and depression in adolescent twins 🏳️‍🌈

Maybe it’s a sign you’ve been working too hard when you type this into google hoping to find software that estimates power in twin studies🤦🏼‍♀️ #twinresearch #hometimemethinks #brainfog #AcademicChatter

@EmmaOolemma Didn’t know there were hidden cameras in my home office

Passed my Thesis Review! Now all there’s left to do is to submit my thesis 😱🎉 #PhDlife #AcademicChatter

Repeat after me: I am doing a serious talk, not a stand up comedy show #PhDlife #AcademicChatter

Another paper from my PhD submitted…now we wait and hope I haven’t made any silly formatting errors 😳😅🙏🏻 #AcademicChatter #sleepresearch #genetics

@cc_gupta Not sure if cake is huge or if items are miniature 🧐 Either way well done!

@PhDsleepy @CQUni_Appleton This is such a cool idea!!! 🤣

@sleep_to_elite This is really cool!!

@aidangcw I’m a “Many thanks,” kinda gal

[Dr Vic O'Callaghan (she/they) @V_S_OCallaghan]

Wow this tweet blew up so may as well use the opportunity…please reply if you know of any post-doc positions investigating sleep or mental health. Thank you! 🙏🏻

[Dr Vic O'Callaghan (she/they) @V_S_OCallaghan]

Should I add a “Currently looking for a post-doc” slide to my conference presentation or is this poor taste? 😂 #AcademicTwitter #postdoc #phdchat

@evans1_d Thanks Dave, good idea!

[Dr Vic O'Callaghan (she/they) @V_S_OCallaghan]

@RachelLBurn1 I feel like I would be 10x more productive with her watching over me 😂

Kudos to all Brisbane people who presented in the middle of a COVID broadcast. That must have been tricky! #BGA2021

[Dr Vic O'Callaghan (she/they) @V_S_OCallaghan]

@nataliepeluso No, sorry!

[Dr Vic O'Callaghan (she/they) @V_S_OCallaghan]

Looking forward to presenting our work on the genetic influences on sleep-wake behaviours at #BGA2021 #sleepresearch #actigraphy #twinstudy

[Dr Vic O'Callaghan (she/they) @V_S_OCallaghan]

@nataliepeluso @qldhealthnews Hope it wasn’t too painful!
