Why has nobody ever told me that woodchuck’s have lil soft, fluffy tails? Is this why we’re obsessed with groundhog’s day? Because I GET IT

A mechanical engineering professor brought his family in to see his lab and I overheard his son say “I just want to see something break” and his mom respond “that’s the point” 😂

Wading into this water bottle debate as a cancer doctor. There has been a striking increase in #coloncancer in people under age 50. When you see an abrupt change like this by generation, it always raises concern for an environmental cause. #MedTwitter cancer.gov/news-events/cance…

What the hoot are you looking at 🦉
Oh wait, it's #NationalBirdDay! Despite its name, the great horned owl doesn’t actually have horns. Instead, it has tufts of feathers on either side of its head, which resemble horns or ears.

Behold the gorgeous Nicobar Pigeon!!

The feather colors transition from dark blue on wing tips to turquoise, to seafoam green, to lime green to kelly green, to ambers to a navy blue neck and head plummage.

I tell my lab "Harvard" means three distinct things: a fictional place movie characters go as a shorthand, a metonym for elitism in academia and society more broadly, and a real school with holes in the walls. And generally the sooner people learn they're at the third, the better

First day in my dream job! The Varadarajan Lab is officially open. Not sure what I should be doing first but I am so excited to be here.

Quick note on the latest tweet:
- we’re all good everyone: having the twins was our choice (well one was a surprise), and we were prepared.
But a lot of people aren’t, and this is a hard decision (stopping work) that falls too often on women.
Just pointing it out.
Again.

No. Just no. First gen is NOT when you’re first in your family to get a PhD. It gets so tiring seeing people claim barriers that then erase the incredibly significant barriers some of us actually faced.

Not to play oppression Olympics but I honestly thought “first gen” meant first in your family to graduate college, not first to earn a PhD. Color me shocked to learn this today lol

I have this conversation like once a week now and it is such a dopamine booster:
Person: Hey heard you're leaving soon! Where are you going?
Me: Oh yeah, I start at Yale in Jan! I'm very excited!
Person: Oh cool! Whose lab?
Me:😏 Mine.

I woke up from a dream about hydrology class and yelled “little q is big Q over A!” and then fell back asleep, but not before waking up the dog and my partner 😂

#BlackInNeuroWeek! I'm Heather. Starting as an Assistant Prof at Yale School of Medicine in Jan 2024! I'm fascinated by Purkinje cells, calcium channel mutations, the cerebellum, and their role in motor and non-motor dysfunction such as ataxia and autism!#BlackinNeuroRollCall
