Proud to work @unmc! Highlighting #FemaleScientists and #nursing as a #STEM field is #innovation.
That said, my career in a nutshell = #GRIT #Creativity #WorkEthic #Serendipity and a little bit of #luck

7 years, 3 babies…building family and an academic career at the same time has not been easy, but there’s been a lot of joy along the way.
What I’ve learned, a 🧵
@Momademia
Adjust expectations. Little kids are hard. I’ve yet to meet anyone that says the years between 1-4 were the easiest. So, don’t expect it to be and take it as a win when you get a day that no one yells about a snack.
Doesn't matter how much tech gets thrown at healthcare - humans heal humans. Full stop.
Tech can should support those relationships, not replace them.
@familyroomcares asked patients and families drive the solution. Excited to see the response - launching DTC 2025!
There's a whole lot of health-tech companies who think AI must be part of their core messaging. But it's really what investors want to hear; I'm not convinced it'll win over patients or clinicians.

When all of the reviewers love the manuscript, except for #Reviewer2.
They hate it.

#maternityleave should not require 2 years of strategically banking 160+ vacation hours in order to get paid.
The reality of #motherhood in #academia. We’re supposed to be leaders in progressive policy, this is just sad.
I will die on this hill.

Return to office mandates don't just motivate junior people to jump ship. They lose talent at the top too.
When tech companies started requiring attendance, senior leaders were more likely to leave for competitors.
Flexibility is an investment in retention at all levels.
So, for this latest trip, the two of them came up with a plan. Beloved unicorn kitty was packed in his backpack and sent on an adventure. Along with 76 8th graders from #Omaha, unicorn kitty is getting the trip of a lifetime.
She is now giving me tours through the house, just like dad. Tonight’s lesson in her own words, “This is the Washington statue. He was our 1st president and now he’s dead”.
I’ve never been so entertained in my life. And, evidently neither have the 8th graders…who have evidently created an official unicorn kitty #Facebook page
Maybe we should all just vote for
unicorn kitty this year. 🦄😸

My husband works for @globaltravelalliance, a top-notch student travel company. He loves his job but he’s gone a lot. We have two little girls with one on the way. This year in particular, our 5 year old is struggling with dad’s travels.
As I’ve been exploring my goals, values, roles, etc with an exec coach for the last 6 months, this comes up a lot.
I love my work, but not at the expense of my well-being. My PhD level salary can’t even cover mortgage + childcare without a dual income.

First they called it “quiet quitting”
Now they call it “quiet vacationing”
Know what’s not quiet?
How tired millennials are of BS corporate culture.
We tried climbing the ladder and we still can’t buy houses or save for retirement.
Agree with Peter Guse on this one.
Out:
Giving everything for a company who doesn’t care about you.
In:
Work that enables you to feel fulfilled in and out of the “office”
Agree?
So proud of this feature.
-- b/c of the women who I was featured alongside
-- b/c my girls were a part of it
-- b/c it represents who I am
I've never been the smartest in the room, I've always just worked the hardest and refused to take "no" as a fact.
