Twitter is filled with negative reporting on “low work-life balance”, “working too much”, “high pressure environment” in academia.
I decided we need some positivity to even the score.
A THREAD (my first).

Dr. Erika Stewart (@erikasstewart) just left @RyanLabTCD & @tcddublin to become a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with @theDOORlab at @ColumbiaMed. A scientist who is always resilient, rigorous and adaptive - looking forward to seeing what she does next.
Introducing Dr. Erika Stewart (@erikasstewart) who just passed her PhD viva at @tcddublin without any corrections.
A courageous and unflappable investigator. We can't wait to see how her Postdoctoral research develops with @theDOORlab in New York.

@MarinaP63@MillerLabMIT Spinogenesis in slice only happens as the neurons begin to die. Kristin Harris had a few papers, including one in which she showed spinogenesis to be dependent on slice prep itself.
New pre-print from our lab! We report on the automation of the delicate process of bone removal in rodent cranial microsurgeries. Video shows robotic eggshell engraving & comparison to a manual attempt by an experienced surgeon. https://t.co/8yWtmLeBWN
A new study in @JAMANetwork from @ColumbiaMed pediatric researchers found that kids born during the first year of the pandemic, including those exposed to #COVID in utero, did not have higher risk for autism - https://t.co/VDm7ym83r1 #BreakingNews@theDOORlab@COMBOstudy

Still hasn’t sunk in, but thrilled to announce that I was awarded a @NICHD_NIH #K99/R00 (on 1st submission 😱)!!
Beyond grateful for @theDOORlab’s unwavering support (+ for making me hit submit against my will 😅🤣).
Congratulations @BrianMSweis!!!
I believe this also marks your joining of a very small group of neuroscientists who get their R01 during residency, no?
So I believe double congratulations are in order!! 🥂
Today marks 3 big events: finishing residency, launching my lab @MountSinaiPsych@SinaiBrain, & receiving my 1st R01: @NIMHgov $4.2M BRAINS Award! Here’s to kicking off new beginnings + a warm welcome to my lab manager @sam_mbp_, grad student @emma_andraka & the growing team!🧠🐁
