My New Year’s resolution is to berate myself less for things I wish I could have done better, to learn from my mistakes, and give myself more credit for the things I did well but promptly forgot/ignored because academics love to live from crisis to crisis

Each of us contributes incrementally to a future we may never see. If it is in our lifetime, if our science, or our contribution, is part of a practical solution, it will likely be one sentence in a vast tome with contributions from thousands of authors across dozens of (not just science) fields.

Every holiday break, I’m like, “I’m going to catch up on my work and reading papers…” and then every break I just end up sleeping like a hibernating bear.

Very interested on your take! I see this a lot and hoped I could utilize/connect this to my own project. Hope I can make it tomorrow (also presenting though)!

Happy to announce that I survived the plane ride to San Diego (I'm afraid of heights)! Look at this view 🤩 Ready for ASCB

just saw a post that said "maybe you don't finish your projects because you'd rather have it undone than done imperfectly" and I fear I've been impaled 💀🪦
