This summer has been rough honestly. I’ve been tired for months but I’m still here and my hard work is paying off.
1. My F31 received a fundable score and percentage.
2. My abstract was accepted to my first conference as a grad student.
3. I passed my qualifying exam.

Refusing to delete a crap paragraph because it took so long to research

Danielle Little (@sodiumdani), a graduate student in Dr. Steven Jones’s laboratory in the Center, is presenting her poster on the contribution of Has2 to fibroblast biology at tonight’s Circulation Research sponsored poster session

Honoring the great women in Jones Lab on this #InternationalWomensDay: Thanks to @sodiumdani and our Twitter-less teammates in the lab this semester: Linda Harrison, Cait Howard, Emma Pendergraft. You make the lab a special place in @CardioMetaboSci at @UofLMedicine. Thank you!

The 3rd Annual Lovely Lab Chili Cook Off was a hit! 9 different chilis this year. Even had an Xmas cookie exchange. 1st went to Kamille Rasche (M&I dept), 2nd was @sodiumdani and 3rd to our own Hieu Vo!🌶️

Today, I expressed to a doctor that she doesn't listen to me because I'm a black woman. She looked at me shocked, and asked me why would I say that.

I replied, explaining that I approached her with tiredness in my eyes, indicating that something was wrong with me.

[Uju 🇳🇬 @WrittenbyUju_]

It took me a long time to find my voice. As I lay there, I felt acknowledged.

To all black women, never cease advocating for yourselves. 🤎

#NEWS A Black family in North Carolina is JAILED for 8 YEARS for refusing to leave their ancestral land… now their story is an Documentary

“Silver Dollar Road” highlights a story many Blacks in America face… land loss. Since the days following Emancipation, the Reels family dedicated themselves to farming, fishing, and surviving upon their expansive parcel of land nestled along the coastal lines of North Carolina's Silver Dollar Road.

Watch as they tell their story of being wrongfully convicted for “civil contempt” in 2011 and serving 8 years to still fighting for their right to pass their generational legacy on.

Now on Amazon Prime:

@ahmeds97_ @evijit THIS! 😂

[Avijit Ghosh @evijit]

This is kind of mean. Professors, don’t be mean. These are kids. Lord knows how naive and excited I was about random different papers that sparked research interest in me when I was an undergrad. Are kids not meant to have that naïveté at that age anymore?

[Dr. Daughter, first of my name @CagneyElayna]

Why in the world would I align myself with a syndrome that completely ignores the fact that the system wasn’t designed for me so of course I don’t fit in.. that’s not my problem.. that’s the systems problem and I’m NOT internalizing that mess 🤷🏾‍♀️🥴😮‍💨

Don’t gate-keep authorship.

If someone has responsibility over any component of the manuscript (and can be held to that) they deserve an authorship.

[William D. Lopez @lopez_wd]

Knowing the names of the custodial staff who clean your office does more to move the university toward equity than any DEI or anti racist bullet point on your CV ever could.

[The Struggling Scientists @TheStrugglingS4]

The fact that "you" had a great phd or enjoy academia doesn't mean it doesn't have huge issues that need to be fixed asap.

Including burnout, stress, publishing fees, authorship, reviewers, bullying , crappy job stability, and much more.

I was in that water for a long time. Today, I think I climbed out.

Plans v Reality. And maybe some sharks in the water too.
