Apparently Bill Simpson, longtime Collections Manager of fossil vertebrates at the ⁦@FieldMuseum⁩ in Chicago, is retiring. Bill has always been so helpful, including pulling out the skull of ⁦@SUEtheTrex⁩ for study. Happy Retirement, Bill! 🎥: ⁦@ecagg15

35 years ago day @SUEtheTrex (FMNH PR 2081) was discovered by Sue Hendrickson. Few dinosaur specimens are as impressive, and our team has had the privilege of studying the original fossils & CT scan data many times. As always, thanks go to the @FieldMuseum for their support! 🦖

Had a fantastic time presenting my research at #RadRes2024 @RRS_RadRes ! Always exciting to see new FLASH research, make new connections and lab bonding (including a VERY competitive water slide competition). I even ran my first 5k since undergrad and explored Sabino Canyon

You may be cool, but you will never be “Nobel laureate Jim Allison absolutely shredding on a harmonica with his band of amazing scientists” cool. Favorite conference memory in a long time! #AACR24

Personally I think it’s super cool to see talks given by researchers whose papers I’ve continually read over the years, today I got that with Steven Rosenberg! #AACR24

Finally back for the first time since my undergraduate days at #AACR2024. Excited to learn from and network with leaders at the cutting edge of cancer research and present my research

Bittersweet first, first-author paper is out today. This review has been a rollercoaster and I wish I could share it with Cullen, but I knew how proud he was that it got accepted, and how proud he would be that I navigated the process without him. link.springer.com/article/10…

I will forever cherish your mentorship not just in science, but in life. Thank you for helping me love science again when I really wanted to hate it forever, and for all our jokes and roasting. I have now lost 2 PhD mentors this year, and I have no more words
It’s been 24 hours since I heard the news but it still feels unreal. Goodbye my friend, the one and only Sensei Taniguchi. I am 💔 - most importantly for his young family, but also his wonderful mentees whom he cherished and his colleagues. @TaniguchiMD rest in peace 🙏🏽

Yesterday I gave my first in-person oral presentation of graduate school and it had a LOT of negative data. Thank you to @TAPatGSBS @MDA_UTHGrad for being so supportive of a transparent talk about how projects develop and change drastically during a PhD

For the last fucking time, thawing 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes.
Does anyone really know what the little jeans pocket is for?

One of my favorite days of the year!!
GSRD Poster Sessions are in full swing! Stop by and ask a student about their research, and stay for the Oral Presentations and Elevator Speeches! #WeAreGSBS

Being a 4th year graduate student is making the department buy silver sharpies for the sole purpose of being able to write on your gloves

I join the rest of the paleo world in mourning the passing of the legendary Bob Harmon of the @MuseumRockies. I met him 35 years ago in the field in Montana & saw him during my MOR visits, as in this one in 2017 where we worked on B-rex & Big Al, two of his many claims to fame.

We'll combine #NationalBirdDay & #TBT to revisit this lovely mute swan that was donated to us postmortem. We dissected it, did an amazing vascular injection, explored a healed fracture, & @ecagg15 did a great "Dissecting with Emily" vid about it: youtu.be/do2TcqHl_Tc. 🦢

Words I’ve lived by in 2022 and will take with me to 2023 - “Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance” - @BreneBrown
