us running into each other at Park Street 😂

I never WANT to be mansplained to, but when the opportunity arose yesterday to tell someone (with as much sass as I could muster) that I’m literally getting a PhD in the subject they’re completely unqualified and pontificating incorrectly to me about, it did feel great

[Alex Geisser @ageisser33]

Yes, preparing for qualifying exams is stressful and scary. But also, I’m over here just giddy with excitement all day reading about some of the coolest things in the world to me. Lucky to be doing this :)

[Alex Geisser @ageisser33]

@katherine_deck Of course it’s hard, but what isn’t when you’re growing more than you thought possible both as a human and a scientist? You got this!

It’s always “come on barbie, let’s go party” and never “ come on barbie, let me fund your research”

Do you love microbes, marine sediments, & biogeochemistry? Then come work with us. @dsegre & I are looking to co-mentor a postdoc as part of the @BuMicrobiome initiative. More here: https://t.co/dSHyNrO53j @aslo_org @CERFScience @MicrobialPlanet @BlackinMarSci @BlackInMicro

Immediately thought of @DrSeaBove 😂 love it https://t.co/FUKLDCbaPi

[Alex Geisser @ageisser33]

people who read on the T should be able to put that on their resume as a special skill bc I can’t even fathom how they do this 😂

[Alex Geisser @ageisser33]

Found this gem in my office mailbox today 😂 @esfrates

[Alex Geisser @ageisser33]

@esfrates @BStevensonLab 1. Not if, when and 2. That is perfect

[Alex Geisser @ageisser33]

that moment when you gain self awareness at family dinner midway through your 20 min monologue about climate change and crabs invading Antarctica and nobody knows what you’re even remotely talking about

[Alex Geisser @ageisser33]

@esfrates Oh yes I’m totally fine! Still waiting to hear what actually happened to the train. It happened going from Harvard to Central on the red line

[Alex Geisser @ageisser33]

Welp, just experienced my first T catching on fire.. while on it. (unconfirmed it was actually on fire, but we all had to get off and out of the station and it was absolutely filled with smoke) #justbostonthings

[Christine Jacobson @internetstine]

day is off to a banner start with my @MBTA red line train filling up with smoke and being decommissioned at central station, which was consequently also filled with smoke
