Welcome and opening remarks from U.S. WIN Chair, Juliann Edwards #USWIN2024

@AshleyGWinter So timely - thank you! I'm not a doctor, but was talking to a BC survivor who received that info ~30 years ago and hasn't heard anything to the contrary since then. I'm like, "I'm pretty sure Dr. Winter would advise otherwise, especially given the potential benefits for you 🤔".

Low dose vaginal estrogen is safe in breast cancer survivors and can be life changing.

The dome structure of a historic, decommissioned #nuclear reactor @INL is being repurposed by @NRICnuclear to bring the future of #AdvancedNuclear reactors to life. ️⚛️✨ Learn more ➡️ nric.inl.gov @govnuclear #energy #research #tech #cleanEnergy

LEADER: @argonne’s Bo Feng is the National Technical Director for our Fast Reactor Program, which is instrumental in supporting industry’s efforts to deploy advanced reactors in the U.S. to help us achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. #AAPIHeritageMonth (1/3)

@BeJules1998 Just catching up, and I'm so sorry for your loss. I think what you described is absolutely expected. Like Kalin said, it can come in waves too. Sometimes you can start to feel "normal", then it feels like you're back with it all over again. Be kind and patient with yourself ❤

Is it weird that I don’t think the full extent of my grief has hit me?

The Nuclear Engineering Student Delegation is taking applications for the 2023 trip to Washington, D.C., in September. Students will advocate for nuclear to various companies, NGOs, their Senators & Congresspeople. Please visit nesd.org for the application.

@nuclear94 Always frustrating to see 😕 My social science classes/degree were an invaluable part of my education.

FTFY: it is an one of the all-time, colossally bad ideas to get rid of humanities and social science degrees. I think universities that go in this direction are not long for this world.

People often forget that being in the STEM field doesn’t mean you have to be an engineer or a mathematician… you can be a communicator, public relations, marketing, business person, etc., helping out the STEM community! STEM needs everyone on board, and people w/ unique skills!

Gather ‘round, ladies. It’s time for the annual buying of The Notebook That Will Change Everything™️.

Do you know someone who has been an advocate and ally for gender equality in the #nuclear industry? Nominate them for the U.S. WIN Champion Award! Nominations are due December 15. winus.org/news/champion-…

@spaceandweather Congratulations, how exciting!

@spaceandweather I'm just barely 5'4" but it seems like I'm all torso and no legs. Cropped dress pants have been a blessing, because they're full length slacks for me 😂 But yes, I've gotten very good at hemming pants (and some jacket sleeves!) over the years.

@BeJules1998 It definitely changes over time. Maybe ask your PCP about tretinoin? Insurance will generally cover it for acne (vs wrinkles), but it can really help. Otherwise I'd recommend adding lots of moisture to your routine, and checking out r/skincareaddiction 🙂

At a curiosity does acne ever go away? I’m about a month away from being 25 and I feel like my face is worse than when I was a teenager. Thankfully I’m seeing my new PCP in February so hopefully I’ll be able to get it worked out since I’ve tried just about everything I can.

@water_doc_doyle @krose621 Same. Growing up w/ a mailbox on the street, red flag up for outgoing mail. We bought a house in an older neighborhood w/ the box on the house, & now we use a paper/binder clip to attach outgoing mail to the outside of the mailbox. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't 😬

@krose621 Growing up for me, this was the way, but then I moved to an older neighborhood and the mail goes straight into house or garage and there is no flag to put up. Some people pin outgoing mail to their slot, I walk it to mailbox.

@amanda_bachmann That is great news (but also not a surprise) - congrats!

IMPACT SUCCESS! Watch from #DARTMIssion’s DRACO Camera, as the vending machine-sized spacecraft successfully collides with asteroid Dimorphos, which is the size of a football stadium and poses no threat to Earth.

@atomicpedals 😂

@Atomic_Fitz I… I think it might be!

Here I am at 38 with two master’s degrees having just submitted homework for Chemical Engineering Concepts I. My oldest brother was right, I’m incapable of not being in school.
