@Sanju_Reddiar @FZMarques @0rlagh @da_nushk Yes! Casual mentoring helps me survive and thrive in my PhD, and I cannot imagine how things would turn out to be without all the support from my fantastic mentors @ElizabethYuriev @davidkchalmers @Thompson_Chem

@FZMarques Totally agree! Informal mentoring is a game-changer. Some of my closest professional relationships have developed organically, and I'm grateful for the support I've received from these mentors @0rlagh @da_nushk 🫰🏽

Just came across this paper, highlighting an important concept: casual (informal) mentoring Very interesting points for those of us who are usually happy to support people (many times that we didn't even know before) @FranklinWomen @Dr_NChapman cell.com/trends/cell-bi…

@ChemJ_Tsao @MIPS_Australia Haha Thank you so much, Jason!

@CaelyChen @MIPS_Australia Congratulations! A big step

@Sanju_Reddiar @MIPS_Australia Thank you, Sanju! Colleagues like you made my PhD journey so worthwhile and enjoyable. All the best with your future endeavours and let's keep in touch.😊

@CaelyChen @MIPS_Australia Congratulations on finishing your PhD exit seminar! 💫 Wishing you all the best as you continue to pursue your academic and professional goals. ☺️

I've been to the same Pilates studio for more than 4 years. Me: "Today is my last class; I'm moving overseas soon." Instructor: "Oh we'll miss you! Anything you want to do in class today?" Me: "Glutes." Instructor: "I'll make sure you keep thinking of me tomorrow."

@xychenchem @MIPS_Australia Thanks, Aspen!

@CaelyChen @MIPS_Australia Congrats, Caely🎉🎉

@Mahta__Mansouri @MIPS_Australia Thanks, Mahta!

@CaelyChen @MIPS_Australia Well done Caely! 🎉👏 I couldn't be there but I don't doubt that you did a fantastic job, congratulations on all your achievements 👏🎉

@SingThesis @MIPS_Australia So glad you enjoyed my talk and my jokes😆

@CaelyChen @MIPS_Australia Well done and happy birthday, it was a great talk 👍 I like how you said ‘not all acids are born the same’, that will be a good title for your next book. Also thanks for your acknowledgement in your final slide, much appreciated.

@HylandChem @MIPS_Australia Thanks, Chris. One whole hour disappeared when I blinked 😄

@CaelyChen @MIPS_Australia Congrats! I am sure the hour went fast talking about that cool methodology!

Here comes my second 1st author paper! Started as a rookie med chemist with it as my first research project in 2017, and those heteroacene syntheses had brought me so much joy (before I broke my promise & ran away from it)! Guess I'll always have this infinite tenderness for it.

Bubble tea store owner: (after seeing me everyday for 2 weeks) So, what are you studying? Me: (looking down) Pharmaceutics Storeowner: (excited) Hey, we have the same major! But I finished years ago. Me: I also want to open a bubble tea store after graduating! #AllRoadsLeadtoRome

Finished the book from @GillianMAuthor within 2 days! Sold me on time travel but hooked me by the motherhood emotions. It's a backward knife crime that cannot be missed. The deep love reflected by the fictional characters makes me miss my parents sick at this moment. #Reading

@HylandChem @MonashPharm @MIPS_Australia @ElizabethYuriev Thank you!

@CaelyChen @MonashPharm @MIPS_Australia @ElizabethYuriev Congrats!

I got the best TA award for Pharm Sci @MonashPharm this year! Thank all lecturers @MIPS_Australia for showing me the ropes, it feels really good having the best mentors on my side. Also, thank all my students for accepting/supporting me. I enjoy teaching so much because of you.

and a special big thank goes to you, @ElizabethYuriev, for training me so well 🥰

We all want the same thing, Mr Lehr. I also desire to elevate myself a bit (for my #Nazarov). #chemistry

#Reading Took me a sombre week to finish Know My Name by Chanel Miller. It is such a personal, moving yet powerful story, even a bystander like me becomes stronger than before just by reading it. “Do not become the ones who hurt you. Stay tender with your power." —Chanel Miller

@susie_dent @Sanju_Reddiar word of the day for you my friend

Word of the day is ‘ramfeezled’ (18th century): feeling worn out, used up, and particularly enfeebled.

As a credulous #introvert, I totally judged this #book by its cover and thought it as a self-help guide to improving socialising skills. How wrong was I counting on it to talk to strangers! But such a nice book in developing trust-issue towards people you like. #Reading

@KaurAmanp 📝📖❤️

Finished my 2022 #reading resolution! 50 books in 9 months, I wonder if such reading speed has anything to do with my approaching PhD submission deadline #procrastination
