Today is a great Monday because my first co-first author paper on my thesis research is out in print! ๐https://t.co/KIcWM8ZPwC
Could not have achieved this milestone without my amazing co-author @IshScience and help from collaborators @IlyaFinkelstein and @Nicolas_Fawzi ๐
The review based on the first chapter of my PhD thesis is finally available online! A happy day indeed when you realize people other than your 4 committee members might read (and enjoy) it ๐
Excellent work with @OG_coreyfrazer@Nicolas_Fawzi ๐๐ผ
First day of my first-ever non-academic job! At 29, Iโve worked as an undergrad research asst โ> NIH postbac โ> graduate student researcher. Now adding โconsultantโ to the job list ๐ฉ๐ผโ๐ป #thisiswhatascientistlookslike
Just watched one of my fellow @BrownUPathoGP friends defend his brilliant thesis, & thinking how my cohort is out here killing the game. We have people going into patent law, vaccine development, microbiome research, consulting, a BME postdoc. So much you can do with a PhD ๐๐๐ผ๐ค
My fiancรฉ understood the assignment (& yes I know this holiday has been commandeered by Hallmark but I like flowers a lot okay) #HappyValentinesDay ๐ฅฐ๐
Parting gifts from my PhD advisor today. A lava lamp because if you havenโt compared phase separation to lava lamps, can you even say you study phase separation? And a coronavirus plushie becauseโฆ*gestures at general state of the world* #PhDone
Amazing work by @Jenna_Wurster and highly worth a read. So proud of her perseverance and literal blood, sweat, and tears that went into this paper! Also, the graphical abstract is a masterpiece in its own right ๐คฉ #womeninSTEM#phdlife
@DrPorman Some much needed vacation time is first up! And then in 2022 I will be starting as a consultant based in Boston, working in healthcare/biotech/pharma practices ๐
Allow me to re-introduce myself: Dr. Mae Staples, PhD. Yesterday I successfully defended by dissertation surrounded by my family and friends. A huge heartfelt thanks to everyone, everywhere, who made this day possible! ๐๐๐พ #PhDone#WomenInSTEM#condensatelife
Small joy of thesis writing/manuscript drafting: getting to cite (and re-read) all of my science Twitter friends' awesome papers ๐ค๐งฌ๐ฌ #condensatelife#phdchat#almostphdone
