I just accepted a job offer... starting in February 2024, I'll be working as a Marie Curie fellow at Leiden Observatory, where I will study the photostability and photochemistry of complex organic molecules in interstellar ice analogs!!! :)

Elements of disordered eating are so accepted - and even encouraged - by society, that we often don’t realise our thoughts and feelings around food are not healthy or conducive to living a contented and happy life.

Sending so much love to everyone who experienced ignorant weight stigmatizing comments, fat talk, or body-related teasing yesterday. You deserved to have a peaceful and relaxing day. You deserved better.

Men giving career advice to women (even when it's solicited) really need to understand that women face a completely different lived reality of the professional world than they do.

"Relationships are hard" means creating a life with someone and addressing your shared baggage takes patience, effort and reflection. It does not mean that conflict, unhappiness and resentment are inherent parts of relationships regardless of who you're dating.

Dean Liu, where are you? Workers at @UCBerkeley are at your office and would like to know why professors in your department have been retaliating against strikers!

Everything is transient. Instead of growing trees and sitting beside them, we now live our life in railway carriages. People keep shuffling, we keep moving from one station to another, and sometimes if we get lucky we meet again...

Enough is talked about heartbreak from love and how to cope with that, but I think loss of a good friendship is almost a silent killer - there is no social conversation around it and you never really understand how to express what you feel

I'm about to go back to my small farm town to escape my high-stress job in the city... I sure hope some farmer's daughter I knew as a kid doesn't try to teach me the meaning of christmas...

When UC Labor Relations Director told @KQED that the cost of housing is outside UC's control, she was either mistaken or being deliberately misleading. As the state's largest landlord, UC can do better. Read this analysis from a @UCBerkeley economist. sfexaminer.com/our_sections/…

The demands of the #UCstrike are seen as unreasonable because of the magnitude of the requests. But the wage-COL gap is only so immense because the people who used to exclusively occupy these spaces (eg. wealthy white ppl) never needed to demand higher wages (5/🧵)
