I remember breaking down to my Ph.D. advisor about how stupid I felt while troubleshooting a problem in my project when she handed me this paper. Years later it is still relevant to young students starting off in Science. It's ok to feel stupid, we all do on a regular basis.
Thread: A slow weekend turned interesting when a student at Columbia, in response to a tweet suggesting the SAT and ACT were "good, actually" posted this chart.
my college friend who also just started her PhD said "some people leave their jobs to go backpacking around the world for a few years. that's basically us except we're doing mental backpacking" and i can't stop thinking about how true that is
@davebirkett I’m sad that most of your articles are subscription only... you are by far the best writer and do thorough and unbiased analysis of lions. Question: if Justin field is available at number 7 do you think lions should take him and develop for future?
Having to explain to my Mum that it’s difficult to even know if I am close to finishing my PhD is almost as difficult a task as actually finishing it 😅
Anyone relate?

@VirusesImmunity@leitzkejs@rkhamsi Macrophages are your cellular equivalent of 'essential workers'. Some of them immigrate into the tissue, some already assimilated. But one thing for sure - they get the job done!
