Life as an academic mom. A napping toddler, chatty patty 6yo, and a paper to write. So I shall write with the toddler in my arms, and 6yo in my ear! APA Division 50 (Society of Addiction Psychology) Academic Mom, PhD Academic Chatter™ #phdlife #momlife #academicmom

My kid, years ago, age 8, guessing what my email to my "boss" would say: the human body development because statistics... blah blah blah students, blah blah blah, department head. Academic Mama

I helped at my kid’s “Scientist in the School” today and when I told him I’d be joining his class he asked- are you the scientist?! 🥰🥰 #AcademicMama #WomanInSTEAM #WomenInScience Academic Mom, PhD

It was a beautiful day for writing a grant, riding bikes, and referring fights about stomping on each others bubbles #academicmama

The Joy of Jonah! Just this! No new papers, conferences, blogs, workshops, etc. #ecr #academicmama #AcademicTwitter and above and beyond #transdisciplinarity

My daughter came with me to the lab on Monday since it was a holiday here and school was closed. She played with my science Legos in the office and left me her construction of how she sees me working. 😍 #AcademicMom #WomenInScience Academic Mama

Found preparing for remote field work as a lactating momma challenging, so wanted to share my hot tips after a huge success & ~8L of frozen milk safely home! uathompsonlab.com/2024/03/13/bre… #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #womeninSTEM Academic Mama Mamacademic Academic Mom Life

I love this photo with baby no3. Have babies. Write books. Happy chaos.

In light of a certain news story this week, I’m looking to interview academic mothers for a piece on the joint pressures of academia and motherhood. Get in touch.

Just left for 2weeks of international fieldwork with a crying toddler having very rough nights. Seriously rethinking the viability of continuing doing field research (I'm in geography). What did you do when your kids were small? Academic Mom, PhD Academic Chatter™

An absolute new career highlight: Got to give a lesson on the heart to pre-k kids at my toddler’s classroom. Proud Academic Mom, PhD moment and real gratitude that I get to share a little bit of what I heart with my daughter.

Drove 4.5 hours just to have babysitters to watch 2yo so I can cram edits into my first R01... gotta do what you gotta do. 😅 So grateful to my amazing mentors for all the helpful suggestions- the extensive re-writing I am doing is a lesson for future grants! You learn by doing.

#maternityleave should not require 2 years of strategically banking 160+ vacation hours in order to get paid. The reality of #motherhood in #academia. We’re supposed to be leaders in progressive policy, this is just sad. I will die on this hill. Academic Mama Academic Mom, PhD

This is how you implement an inclusive conference for an #AcademicMama - a livestream of the auditorium with an infant play area & toys in front of it. This sends such a powerful message. Great job ICIS #ICIS2024 Academic Mom, PhD

Congratulations!

Academic psychologists, how did you consider family planning in terms of your career? Were there especially good or bad times to be pregnant/have a child? What advice would you give to early career scholars who want to plan ahead (as a person, partner, parent, & academic)?
