Another great win for both the #FightingIllini and the #NUwildcats this is a happy Saturday

Even though internship just started, I’m already thinking about clinical fellowships and post-internship opportunities. Please let me know if you know of any opportunities available, preferably in the Chicagoland area!

I had a really rough start to my internship year. But thankfully things have gotten better. I’m getting used to things here in south Texas

Tough week for research. A paper got rejected multiple times, and some coauthors had to drop out of another project. Internship year is challenging enough as it is!

Happy Mark Buehrle Perfect Game Day! I remember watching that game start to finish when it happened 16 years ago. Great baseball memory from my childhood

Saw a Godzilla-shaped cloud in the sky last night. It was definitely a hit with my nephew

The scene in Legally Blonde where Elle continues to repeat “because you got in the shower” honestly resonates with me bc that’s how I felt during my dissertation defense. And pretty much all throughout grad school

Currently packing for my move to Texas for internship. It’s starting to get real, even though it’s still a month away.

There was a medical emergency on the flight to Miami this past weekend. I actually experienced the flight attendants do the “do we have a doctor on board?” announcement. I thought I’d never see that.

*I did not volunteer myself as I am not ~yet~ a doctor. Nor will I be THAT kind of doctor*

Dissertation successfully defended ✅

Less than a week before my dissertation defense and I’m feeling confident and excited 💪🏽

We’re exactly one year away from our wedding. There are big things ahead of us in this coming year alive, including a big move.

🚨SCIENCE UNDER SIEGE: TRUMP’S FIRST 100 DAYS 🚨

In his first 100 days, Trump has declared war on science—slashing budgets, censoring facts, and meddling in research. From climate to cancer care, real lives are at risk.

Here’s a thread on Trump’s assault on science so far—and why it matters: (🧵)

Prepping for our move to Texas. Getting the top choice of apartment is >> 👍🏽👍🏽

I’m moving cross-country for #internship (IL ➡️ TX) and need recommendations on affordable movers/moving options. If anyone can chime in, I’d appreciate it!

After weeks of stress and about 60+ applications later, I’m happy to say that I secured an internship! I’ll be training at the VA Texas Valley Coastal Bend HCS

Phase 2 of #APPIC match is so weird. Match day 2.0 is in 6 days. I feel excited and encouraged, but that’s exactly how I felt during phase 1??? Just hoping I get matched 🤞🏽

For my birthday today, I spent my day at Jiu Jitsu and then with my family and loved ones. It was exactly what I needed after a long week of phase 2 interviews
