What it looks like driving home after being in lab all day on a weekend.

A PhD gives you all of the freedom to pursue school on your own terms. While you might have really long days and nights, you're not working off of someone else's plan for you. You're working *with* someone to make a plan for yourself! It's very freeing and fulfilling.

I've been repeatedly told how hard it is to do a PhD & the problems I may face. To be prepared for loneliness,adversity and inevitable self-doubt.

Does anyone have anything uplifting or positive to say about the experience?

I had no idea that Craig Hawker made Olaplex! As a lady who loves science it's super cool to finally make a connection between hair products I use all the time and a super dope polymer chemist!

A good summary of my day so far:

@AlexFGoldberg: "Have you tried that in DMSO?"

Earth Day highlights the urgency of more responsible environmental stewardship. Today, we report in @NatureChemistry next-gen Circular Plastics that can be depolymerized, de-colored, and de-compounded back to virgin monomers, even in mixed waste streams. https://t.co/Kl7trLn2R4

NdCl3, glovebox light vs. natural light. F-elements are definitely the coolest 🤘 #ChemTwitter

I absolutely love tiny glass ware. It's adorable.
