I think what's making #gradschool so hard is that there aren't those little motivators to keep you going anymore. No drinks at the end of the day. No conferences to look forward to. It's just work and loneliness. Academic Chatter™ OpenAcademics #AcademicTwitter

This 100%

Describe your work/research using lines from musical:

losing my mind seeing “grad students aren’t real workers” and “grad students aren’t supposed to have livable wages because they’re in training” discourse.

Can't wait to present at my first in person conference #ISDP2021 later today! Come chat with me about the impacts of early life pain on adult immune responses virtually from 5:20-6:20 CST or in person from 6:20-7:20 CST! ISDP 🦋 @isdp.org.bsky.social

Stay indoors. But also return in person. Wear a mask. Not that one. The expensive one, that you can’t find. Take rapid tests. Which you also can’t find. But if you find them, don’t buy them. Rapid tests don’t work. You need PCR. There are zero appointments in your area.
