I’m really intrigued by this… how is this real???

[Seeker @SamQari]

Not here to judge but I don’t understand this. How’re you going to eat without inviting your friend?

I climbed for 3 hours yesterday with @E_F_Cardenas and now I remember why I don’t do that. Everything hurts. So much. #AcademicsWhoClimb

… and yes, I’m pretty sure I started that hashtag, but someone had to do it 🤷🏼‍♀️

I just upped the font size on my computer by 50% and it’s the best decision I’ve made all year. #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #GradSchool #GradStudent #PhDStudent #PhDChat #PhDLife

@TiffBromfield @AcademicChatter I have an hp spectre 360 (with the larger screen) and love it! But I also supplement it with an iPad

[McKay Wright @dr__mckay]

Can you tell I’m a static climber? 🤣 I worked on dynos for the first time during a bouldering session last weekend with @E_F_Cardenas… it took more than a few tries to get this move down, but I’m on my way to bagging this V5 🤙🏻 #AcademicsWhoClimb #Bouldering #RockClimbing

Not sure what this cow is going through. But I can relate.

@DrSamiSchalk I had photos taken with my two best friends, Carly and Liv, on my bday in 5th grade at Walmart. We are also holding the build-a-bears that we had just made at the mall 🤣

I just realized my non-US friends probably don't know how US insurance works.

So lets say your employer offers insurance. They pay a portion and then you pay a portion. For a family, the employee pays on average about $400 per pay cycle, or $10,400 per year.

Today I learned that some people type without looking by muscle memory instead of seeing the keyboard in their head… 😳 @MelissaJEvans5

[McKay Wright @dr__mckay]

Between missing my own TED Talk, holding up a long line in the grocery store at check out, running for my life to avoid an explosion, and my sister watching a TV show I didn’t like… my dreams were coming for me last night 😭 #NightmareCentral

[McKay Wright @dr__mckay]

I spent TWO HOURS tonight making a diagram in PowerPoint for a meeting tomorrow morning… I guess I’ll find out tomorrow if it was worth it 🤷🏼‍♀️🥲 #PhDLife #PhDChat #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #GradSchool

[McKay Wright @dr__mckay]

Nothing like a good cry to start the day. I have never felt more terrified in my life. As someone who deals with chronic pain and illness, I feel a deep sense of betrayal by my university. This is unacceptable.

[Vanderbilt University @VanderbiltU]

Vanderbilt will no longer require masking or physical distancing indoors. The change is effective immediately and aligns the university with recent CDC guidance that classifies Davidson County in the “medium” COVID-19 community level.

@lkfazio Thank you for your response. Words cannot express how genuinely terrified I am to return to campus.
