I’ve been told that grad school is not a good time to have pets, as they restrict what you can do in your early career and cost too much. I’m also not sure if there is a single thing that gets me through lows of grad school more than my 2 weird little aliens 🥰

Other things that get me through the lows of grad school: roller skating, road trips, pop culture obsessions, and so much more that has nothing to do with my research! Hobbies are reminders that we are more than our careers :)

Did you see today's Google Doodles celebrating Marie Tharp? The geologist completely revolutionised the way we see the formation of the world as we know it by studying the ocean floor - without ever being allowed on a boat. #Thread
