@TiaAnderlini @uhmanoa Thank you!!!! (And thank you for all the seaFAST chats! 🤪)

[Alexis Floback, PhD (she/her) @AFloback]

This journey started a decade ago during my first undergrad oceanography class, but I am so thrilled to say that I have successfully finished my PhD at @USC_MEB, advised by Dr. Jim Moffett.

[Alexis Floback, PhD (she/her) @AFloback]

aaaaaand I am excited to officially announce that I will be headed to @uhmanoa to start a Post-Doc with Nick Hawco focusing on Fe cycling at station ALOHA and the South Atlantic 🎉

[Alexis Floback, PhD (she/her) @AFloback]

I have so many folks to thank that have helped shape me into the person and scientist that I am today, but I have to give a huge shout out to my committee: @copper_rules, @jcamthrash, Seth John, and Daniele Bianchi!

This year, I decided to make some *rougher than others* clay ornament shaped magnets infused with some Antarctic sediment from my last cruise! 🥳🇦🇶

[Alexis Floback, PhD (she/her) @AFloback]

Shrunk these styrofoam fish on my last #FeTSh2021 cruise and finally had time to turn them into ~some jankier than others~ ornaments for some unique gifts this year!

Turned in a draft of my dissertation today, but before I close my computer for the year..... Furrrrriends, I present you with Person-meow-lity 2024 wrapped

[Alexis Floback, PhD (she/her) @AFloback]

Spent my last day in LA before flying off for fieldwork doing this important civic duty. Fuuurriends, I present you with Person-meow-lity 2023 wrapped:

Told myself I'd write tonight. One screen has my google messages open and the other has whatsapp open. I'm writing. just not what I planned to write 🤗

[Alexis Floback, PhD (she/her) @AFloback]

I'm slightly regretting my choice in staying *technically* domestic for a post doc

[Alexis Floback, PhD (she/her) @AFloback]

I took the most amazing break from writing my dissertation this week 😍

[Alexis Floback, PhD (she/her) @AFloback]

No better feeling than when all the 1970's-era physical oceanography papers I've been *trying* to read*** finally come together in my brain to explain observations 🤩

***or having little success getting chat GPT to explain them to me

[Alexis Floback, PhD (she/her) @AFloback]

Yikes calm down

[Alexis Floback, PhD (she/her) @AFloback]

In the last few days I've gotten pink eye, strained my Achilles, and my cats somehow picked up (a thankfully minor bout of) fleas 😭. I know bad things happen in threes, buuuut it would be great to schedule it outside of peak writing season? 🫠

[Alexis Floback, PhD (she/her) @AFloback]

You know how sometimes when it's bright out and you close your eyes and see rainbow spots??

I'm seeing my ODV sections 🫠🤷🏻‍♀️

[Alexis Floback, PhD (she/her) @AFloback]

I've said it before, I'll say it again..I picked the wrong PhD research
