New first: for several minutes at the start of group meeting today I had almost no idea what was being discussed

The lab talked about sample prep, this worked, this didn’t work, plans for next week, “I’ll do this if you’re working on that”

I just sat there and waited my turn 🥹

Me at the beginning of each proposal: we are just a newborn lab there is no way I can fill up this page limit

Me multiple pages over the limit later: how did this happen again

Check out this 💯 article from my good friend that happens to also be an award-winning bioengineer

This is an excellent way to make me a loyal customer btw

Someone came up to me after my talk today and I was like “do you work at the NIH also?” and it turns out he’s the director of NINDS

Vanderbilt postdocs, join us tomorrow at 2:30pm at WH115, I will lead a discussion with an awesome panel (Amirsaman Sajad, Dr. Michelle Bedenbaugh, Suzanne Nolan) to hear their first hand accounts of the psych/neuro tenure-track job market. Lunch and coffee provided. Pls DM me if attending.
