Little one just turned 6. I cannot believe time has gone by so fast. She was born and has grown with the lab. She has kept me grounded and showed me what really matters during the hard times. I wouldn‘t do anything different. But starting a lab and a family is HARD #academicmum

One of the reasons I do not use one of the other sites anymore is that I get so much crap. Like this PETS RELOCATION SERVICE VIA PRIVATE JETS. Also bad job AI for thinking a professor can afford this 🤷🏻♀️
