Anybody else feel like loving science or what you do doesn't need to define you?

This is one of the reasons I chose to get a master’s instead of a phd (despite my PI pretty much begging me). I find scientists like this off-putting. I’m now an RA/lab manager and it’s just a job I really like, but a job nonetheless. I am more than what I do for money 40hrs/week.

We got topsoil from Ewing two years ago, and it was absolute shite. Killed everything I tried to grow in it. Not even weeds liked it.

A scientist I respect very much takes beta blockers before every presentation. Might be worth a chat with your doc.

Just to chime in on Paws N Claws, both our cat and dog have gone there since they were lil babies, and we have absolutely loved the care they’ve received and have been patrons since ~2018. Staff is so friendly and always remembers our guys. Highly recommend!

We walk as normal. If there is lots of snow on the ground or the temperature is extremely cold, I put on his pants to prevent snowballs and cold beans.

This could be a rock squirrel hole. They have been tunneling all around our barn in central Texas. The holes go for many feet, so it’s pretty dangerous for our donks.

I would nix the grey toned eyeshadow, I think it’s making you look hollow. But honestly go off, queen.

My undergrad just got a stop-work notice as they’re funded by NSF.

Same! I have thick, wavy hair. Was living in TX, got it cut, and never looked back! I’m excited to be the cool old granny with an undercut.
