Could not have done it without the support of Avi and the rest of the lab! <3

@kaitmsims @workingbnb The Light Pirate by Lily Brooks-Dalton

@Biljana_Erman @NatureComms Woooooohooooo!!!

📢 World, I am thrilled to share that my Globetrotter manuscript is out @NatureComms. In a nutshell, we found that tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase has a "moonlighting" function in actin binding and bundling. Details 👇 nature.com/articles/s4146… 🧵 1/n👇

Petition to add a section to theses called failed project graveyard where we can normalize failing over and over until one project finally sticks. #phdlife #AcademicChatter

Really cool story by the talented undergraduate student I work with!

Excited to share our new paper showing a surprising role for clathrin-mediated endocytic machinery in protecting extracellular vesicle cargoes from depletion at synaptic terminals @RodalLab @ScaleraAmy @Gr8_Kate @bryanstewart27 @koles_kate @julia_apiki

@goodreads A History of Wild Places!

What was the last book you stayed up too late reading?

@NeilLewisJr @QuinonesFrias you needed this yesterday 😂

@OdedRechavi @RodalLab this is you with your space heater

Professors when you walk into their office without knocking

Wholesome animal content to brighten up your week

To celebrate #NationalDogDay, please reply with a pic of your dog, so everyone can appreciate them ❤️

So excited to finally be able to share this preprint! @CassBlanchette it has been a joy to work with you on this 🎊

Shout out to @RodalLab for being the most supportive mentor, welcoming my dog who's recovering from surgery into lab this week and even offering up her office for him, so that he doesn't have to stay home in a cone that scares him and I can still do my science!🐶

@suarez_damien @jplayshooky @laura_laranjo Ahhh congrats!!!! So exciting! You will be great! Happy to help any time :)

@Thalia_MCB I agree with @suarez_damien ! (Happy to send you a blank version of the goal/expectation document I use) and continue to check back in with this. I also make sure to emphasize that I would rather they ask me the same question 100 times than do something they are unsure about.

I'm about to take on an undergrad mentee (😱) for a part of my project. What advice do you all have for becoming a new mentor & the mentor/mentee relationship? Anything you wish you knew at the start? #phding #phdchat #ScienceTwitter

It’s Friday! What are you planning on reading this weekend?

@goodreads 7 Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

What was the last book you rated five stars?

@RodalLab It IS very kind of them

@Lisa_of_Troy @goodreads Yes! I'm lucky because it's connecting with over 40 Boston area libraries that share books. I have to request online and waits can be long but usually not too bad if I get in early enough! Outlawed was great and White Ivy was just okay.

@ScaleraAmy @goodreads Your library must be better than ours! New releases are hard to come by! Heard great things about both books. Enjoy!
