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!
Such an honor to be invited back to my 2nd @2022Pg Proteoglycans Gordon Research Conference! Thank you to the amazing organizing committee and looking forward to hearing the awesome work being done on our favorite glycan chains 😄
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 😅
Very proud to be part of this, and thanks to @Glycopedia and @DraganaNikitov1 for giving us the opportunity to share our views on the future of GAG research!

BREAKING NEWS:
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2022 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless “for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.”
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.
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
