Sometimes I feel like I’m working twice as hard with physical and nerve pain, brain fog, and exhaustion … but none of that counts 😭 🥲
#AcademicChatter
As somebody with two herniated discs, a surgically fused SI joint, and general nerve damage in my legs, the additional bone and joint pain doesn’t help 😭
It’s hard to focus when my body is actively working against me all the time … 🥲
I was on 200 mg of Orilissa twice daily and it was LIFE CHANGING to be pain free! ✨ But after a year, my insurance will no longer cover things 🥲 😭
Also -- Thank you to you, @samjscience.bsky.social, and other members of the Tiny Matters team for the good work you do! 🥹

They had misidentified the intern.
Even though I'm far removed now, I still continue to hear concerning accounts about the lab environment where I did my graduate work... I'm so relieved newer students are openly discussing lab culture fit and mental health! 💖

Side Note: Ke & I met in “Pathways to Scientific Teaching” taught by Prof. Diane Ebert-May! We sat beside each other on the first day and bonded over the struggle of studying non-traditional model organisms 🤣 😭
As a small update, a preprint I’m on was posted to bioRxiv! 📑 It was great to work with Ke on analyzing the Butterfly scRNA-seq data, and teach him bioinformatics over multiple boba runs! 🧬 💻 🧪
Seurat has also changed SO, SO MUCH since I last used it ~2020 🫣

I still ended up submitting my statement by adding it to the end of my research proposal because it definitely influenced my scientific direction 🫣👩🏽💻

They also weren’t able to give me as much sedative because my blood pressure runs pretty low to begin with so I felt everything 😭
... And comparing that to why they left in the first place during the Marcos' regime 🫠

Luckily, the workshop runners handled things well, but … it goes to show that passwords in Zoom meetings are still important for webinars because we can’t trust people 🙃 🫠

This reminds me of ai advocates who claim that those who refuse to use GenAi do so because they dont know how it works, yet it’s the opposite!
The less you know the more you are likely to use GenAi
