@jakejohnsonphd This is amazing! Well done sir:)

Don’t forget…do one thing everyday that makes you happy!

[Ryan Sheehy @sheehy_ryan]

This was absolutely me as a grad student!

[Ryan Sheehy @sheehy_ryan]

Absolutely wonderful word:) Try to avoid it if you can.

Word of the day is ‘spuddle’ (17th century): to work ineffectively; to be extremely busy whilst achieving absolutely nothing.

“The Fall is won in the Summer”
It is a saying that was preached to me as a high school football player. I am coming to find that it relates quite well to academia as well. Here’s to going undefeated and taking State this Fall! 🏟

What an awesome idea to improve making and viewing scientific posters! I wish I’d known about this as a graduate student. Thank you @mikemorrison! https://t.co/RhNh5uhE6x

I’ve been working on exercising more. I started a couch to 5k program and today I ran for 20 minutes without stopping. It was pretty empowering considering I struggled to run for any length of time back in January. Feels great too:)

@nicolespag I told my 4 year old daughter about this show. I turned it on and she is absolutely hooked. Thanks! She calls the squeekums cars.

Great presentation by @ClaireHMajor at #ITLC21! Thank you for the active session and the reminder not to mentally multitask. Time yourself counting to 52 and compare to saying the ABCs x2. Now time yourself alternating between letters and numbers (A1B2C3) x2. Big difference!

Be careful about what you read before bed. Last night I was reading “The Question of Competence,” a book on assessment in medical school. I then dreamed I was an administrator at Hogwarts in charge of assessing wizards and witches.

I feel so blessed to be a parent. It is hard work most of the time, but there are definitely special moments.

I just found out from my son that the state bird of Tennessee is the mocking bird. My sister @Mrs_KMcCoy has a saying, “Don’t mock the mocking bird or the mocking bird will mock you.” 🤣

@embryoprof Oh wow! I was just exercising outside last week. It was 50 last week here. Sheesh

Come to Memphis they said. Our winters are mild they said.

Tough loss for my Chiefs last night. It was a good reminder that excellence can be defined many different ways. My biggest take away came from an ad: Are you happy because you are successful? Or are you successful because you are happy? Do one thing everyday that makes you happy!

Me showing my wife something funny on the internet when I come downstairs after work and she’s in the middle of managing the kids and making supper.

It is downright tropical in Memphis today! I can’t remember the last time it was near 70 outside at the place I lived in January.

[Ryan Sheehy @sheehy_ryan]

This will be the first AFC championship game I’ll have missed since 2019. I never thought I’d be tweeting this! Who’d have thought the game would be at Arrowhead for three straight years. Go Chiefs!! I hope you can hear me yelling from Memphis :) #ChiefsKingdom #RunItBack

Making homemade donuts for Halloween! Every year I am reminded why we only make these once a year. They are just too tempting!! Boy are they good.

[Ryan Sheehy @sheehy_ryan]

Remember when you first started teaching?You likely told yourself,I’m learning more now than ever before!We conduct discussions to give students a little taste of that experience.We ask them to struggle with their thinking,to express their ideas,& to have their ideas challenged.
