This month is my job anniversary - 6 years since I've left academia and started to work as an account manager, selling analytical equipment to professors at universities. Leaving academia was very scary, but I couldn't be happier where I am now!

2 years ago, everything was going great in my mid-career lab. Making a choice to reduce stress and prioritize my health turned out to have ripple effects - my colleagues, family, and friends are reaping the benefits, as am I. I tell my story in @eLife elifesciences.org/articles/8…

Americans think politics is like "The West Wing". 53eig.ht/3JQG1i2

But seriously, as a foreigner, the West Wing taught me so much about the structure of politics! Primaries, Iowa caucuses, Supreme Court, debt ceiling… and so much more that is totally different from back home in Brazil.

In which universe lives a professor that bases their start-up package purchase on a quote from 2014? #smh

Listening to @HiddenBrain last series. ā€œMany people spend sleepless nights thinking about what others think about youā€. Really? I’m shocked. Unless it’s after a job interview or a new date, that thought never crosses my mind! 😮

Trying @calm free trial. First day of calming anxiety. Am I the only one that gets anxious about doing this type of exercises? Every time I do a guided breathing on my Fitbit my heart rate ends up higher than when I started…

I get anxious about doing it right. Then think about the next thing I need to do. Then I stressed that I can’t follow the rules. When they say Focus on the backā€, I’m like good, we’re half way through this torture…

Then I think about posting it on twitter… shit, gotta focus on my breathing! Oh well, I’ll keep trying for the rest of the week. Maybe it will get better?
"Receive your tax refund in your Venmo account with Direct Deposit" hahaha, good one, Venmo! I'll be lucky if I don't have to pay even more taxes as an independent contractor...

Last year I actually overpaid my estimated taxes and was excited that I was finally getting a refund after so many years... until my accountant told me that the 'extra payment' is transferred to your next year taxes... šŸ™ƒ
