Throwback Thursday: 16 years ago today I got rejected from the University of Michigan for medical school ⚕️🩺 Many failures pave the way to a successful career. #normalizeFailure

Today, our proposal on music and VR-based therapy for FTD was rejected by DST-CSRI. We take this as an opportunity to normalize failure and talk about it openly. Thanks to the committee for taking the time to review it. We hope it finds support elsewhere #NormalizeFailure

In a world obsessed with perfection, this video reminds us of a simple truth: 🚫 Failure is not a disgrace—it's the gateway to growth. 🌱 Let's teach our students, and ourselves, to embrace setbacks and bounce back stronger. 💬 How do YOU deal with failure?

The week started with a bang! Paper rejected!! Grant rejected!!! Yet, we move on to the next day. C'est la vie! #NormalizeFailure

I can beat that. I failed my first comps because I didn’t read the directions, and they had changed from past years. To tell you I felt like a moron is really, really, understating it. Took them again and aced it. #NormalizeFailure

Did not get a grant to start a new project because “the lab has enough fundings to lead this extra project to completion” Guess what !? If this was true I would have not applied 🤗 I’ll do better next time 💪🏻 #normalizefailure #newPI

Finishing the week with more unread emails than at the beginning 🫠 #normalizefailure

This right here. This is what needs to change in some organizations. It’s why my life mission is to enable leaders and employees to speak up in organizations. And to #normalizefailure

I guess it’s good overall when the only person in the lab failing every experiment he tries is the PI… asking for a friend 🙄 #newPI #normalizefailure #butmaybenottoomuch

#normalizefailure - and also, great perspective. Success in any field doesn't happen overnight. No reason VO is any different. Keep at it, my friend.

Super bummed my @NIH_LRP app via @NIMHD wasn't renewed - assuming the "eg" was the culprit?! 🤔But very grateful for 1 round of funding - huge help! Fingers crossed #PSLF comes thru via (messy) waiver process to wipe out rest of my loans! 🤞🏽 #normalizefailure #winsomelosesome

AHHHHHHH!...I got my first federal grant from @NSF! 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 This was my fourth time submitting, so the lesson is "Don't ever give up!" 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 #PersistencePaysOff #KeepGoing #NormalizeFailure #NSF #MetaAnalysis

#normalizefailure is a big thing for me. Our kids can’t be afraid to “fail”., they need to be taught to try hard, learn and grow. Also, Giannis is gold.

#normalizefailure - thanks for sharing this

Definitely! It took me two attempts to pass the equivalent of prelims at Stanford. At the time it caused me a lot of angst because I had this misconception that successful people never failed like that. #normalizefailure #growthmindset

I failed out of my first nursing program 🤷🏻‍♀️. No one is perfect 100% of the time. It’s how you learn the lesson and move on stronger and wiser that matters. #NormalizeFailure #Nursing #NurseTwitter

Inspired by discussions with students in our lab (@NeuroMechLabX) and @NeuroSharps, I decided to create an anti-CV (a collection of failures and rejections) and post it on my website. Check it out! #NormalizeFailure #AcademicTwitter ashleydalrymple.com/publicat…

#aboutlastnight Yesterday at the German @FameLab final on stage in front of a 700 person audience I completely blanked 😳 Not my finest hour…BUT I’m SO proud of myself for managing to pick back up my presentation and finish with a smile on my face! #SciComm #normalizefailure

Received some disappointing news recently but remembered some wisdom @ShaneKil (quoting Beckett) once imparted to me as a PhD student -‘Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.’ So true&needed that reminder today. #academicchatter #normalizefailure

Gm everyone. We all talk about our successes with out a problem. Tell me about your failures, what have you failed at recently? And what did you learn from it? #normalizefailure
