I've heard a lot of buzz about BlueSky. Seriously considering making the jump. For those who are on the platform, I'm curious about your thoughts?

The recent spikes in attacks on academics on X, especially women and POCs in academia, is the final straw for my professional account. It is disheartening to see a platform I used to enjoy engaging with devolve into a deterrent.

This is compounded by the fact that it has become increasingly difficult to find new faces in academia compared to before. As a PhD trainee, this stunts my networking ability. I do not wish to see the flooding non-relevant content pushed to me.

This may have been me at the 2022 Proteoglycans GRC 😅 But I'm honored to be coming back as a discussion leader in both GRS and GRC, seeing new and familiar faces, and forging some rich connections! Networking is the name of the game!

Being able to see GAGs at this level of detail feels almost surreal.. Amazing work, and always stuns me seeing the imaging resolutions we're now capable of!

Messed up my neck so bad, I've barely been able to move the past couple of days. Having a swivel chair has been my only saving grace to move my eyes from one screen to another during this grant writing 😅

I've been playing with color-blind friendly color palettes that don't look jarring and I hate/love that I've landed on @MegCritcher 's Charizard scheme. Mic drop moment is hopefully on its way.

I've got a real bad case of wanting to finish my PhD. It's terminal.

I could not allow myself to be here. I'd spend too much time staring at the ceiling and I do that enough during one-on-one lab meetings
This is a wind-driven "ceiling art" installation at the Barbouni Beach Bar in Costa Navarino, Greece. When the wind hits the ceiling of the beach bar, the mesmerizing art comes to life, offering a truly relaxing environment. #CBDivaHealth
