@DaphSci I'm so glad I didn't wait too long. I was in denial at first, but after i had my right hip done in late Sept I decided to do the left in early Dec. Best decision! It's given me my life back. And yes - incredible how much you can do. Yoga and I'm just getting back to aerial arts.

[Melanie Pina @drmelp]

Sappy post incoming... my 1st year on TT I found out my hips had degenerated to the point that I'd need to get both totally replaced. Terrifying to hear esp when starting a lab. BUT super grateful to be back, bionic and running around a conference sharing my science with ppl. 🦾

[Melanie Pina @drmelp]

@superrsema Thanks, Sema. And yes, I will see you at RSA!

[Melanie Pina @drmelp]

@DrJRink Aw, thanks Jen. That's way too kind. Excited to see you at RSA and be more mobile this time around. 😊

[Melanie Pina @drmelp]

@LC_Ornelas21 Thanks, Laura. I will see you at RSA. I have a symposium on Sunday (first day always the best to get scheduled!). So, we should make time to catch up after that.

[Melanie Pina @drmelp]

Also huge thanks to all the folks who supported me during this entire ordeal - friends, colleagues, and past mentors. You all kept me going!!

[Melanie Pina @drmelp]

Also shameless plug - if you are at IBNS come say hi 👋 and see our symposium Sat 6/15 at 2:30 PM!
So excited to see everyone here!

@MoeNeuro I am so so sorry. Right there with you. I wish I could help but all I can say is that you are not alone and I feel you on how hard this job can be as female jr faculty. It's very real.
