@ThePhDPlace Crystals on rocks

Explain your research in 3 words or less.

@matsci_mikayla Yay!!!!

Update: finished my dissertation (or at least the first draft of it) 😅!

I think I am going to finish my dissertation tonight. Eek, this is wild!

@SiaraRouzer Chemistry major in undergrad, got a C in Chem 2 in my first year... I'm now a post doc in a chemistry heavy lab!

Looking to prove a point with my undergrad RAs. Can any fulltime scientists (all career stages) share if they received a 'C' grade or lower on their undergraduate transcripts? Bonus points for sharing the class title.

Congratulations to my students @matsci_mikayla and @Stephanie_W_bme who were hooded yesterday! #graduates @uconnhealth @UConn

@matsci_mikayla It sucks... but you will get through it!!!!

Hot girl summer? More like writing like my life depends on it summer…

I'm hiring! BME PhD position available in Fall of 2024 at UConn Health. Must be a US citizen or permanent resident. See below and please inquire with any questions or interests!

Adjusting to multiple PIs with dominant but different personalities and their ways to prep for experiments is a struggle I didn't mentally prepare for, especially when it happens all at once 😅 #postdoclife

@matsci_mikayla @MSOE So AMAZING!!!! congratulations!!!

I have accepted an Assistant Professor position in the Mechanical Engineering department at @MSOE for Fall 2024! I am cutting it close with a July PhD defense😅, but I am excited to start a new chapter of my life soon! Thanks to everyone who helped me get to this point!

@AlixDeymier Yay!!!!! Baby Deymier came through!!!

The Deymier lab is expecting a new member in Aug 2024! This long standing science experiment has finally worked!

A successful week with another accepted paper! Check out our work showing that K+ in solution protects against the dissolution of biomimetic bone-like apatites. This has many implications for bone storage and health. authors.elsevier.com/a/1icC%7E%7E2-…

@AlixDeymier @ORNL Missing the lab and everybody in the BME dept!!! Thank you Alix for a great PhD journey🥹

A very late posting congratulating Ph.D. student @Stephanie_W_bme for completing her thesis defense on January 26th. She is off to her postdoc at @ORNL and we miss her already! Congrats Dr. Wong!

@VanessaScanlon Thank you 🥹 that means a lot, especially at this time!

Burnt out + waves of anxiety = sleepy Steph with low motivation

Seeking scientist volunteers! Want to practice science communication and help author a ✨comic✨ about your research? I need collaborators for this spring's cohort of SciComm & Comics art students! Please share widely. #STEMeducation #Science #sciart

@PhD_Genie Aging bone sucks

Write a full thesis using only 3 words

Just remember, jumping on a bison and yelling “yip yip” will not make it fly. But you will.

PhDs, do you ever wish you could see inside an examiner's mind? I have been a PhD examiner for 15+ years and have collated all the key questions colleagues of mine ask in PhD Vivas in this cheat seeht. 🎁 This is my present to you.

Check out our new paper on the physiochemcial effects of PBS exposure on bone. It'll make you reconsider your storage solutions. Work by @margaret_easson @Stephanie_W_bme @matsci_mikayla @tanninschmidt sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
