Remembering the time I threw a geology-paleontology themed Bday party for the kids. Filled a kiddie pool with sand, real fossils & rocks, then had the kids dig & ID their finds for Geo-Paleo Bingo. Ended by exploding a giant Coke & Mentos volcano at the dig site. 😅 #AcademicParents

That feeling when you discover the park near you with the best playground has opened a new storage shed cafe with toilets and a Lego table #happy #academicparents #mumlife

Over a third of mothers in STEMM experience maternity bias, and fathers who share caregiving face stigma too. Follow our #BreakTheBiasSTEMM campaign to raise awareness & push for change–so no one has to choose between family or career. #MotherhoodPenalty #WomenInSTEMM #AcademicParents

Sick children = no productive work… it’s a beautiful time when they are little but also VERY challenging when combined with an academic career #tired #academicparents #carework

This is what homeoffice sometimes looks like, when one kid is at home sick, the other is at home because daycare closed (staff is sick). Trying to already do some work while it's my turn with entertaining & household.

I turned 48 today. I’ve anticipated this age for many, many years, as it’s the age I become an empty nester.

Now that I’m here…😭😭. It really is the "longest, shortest time!!

Huge Fail: confetti spray (Big regrets).
For tomorrow I’m planning on including more physical activities, like dancing and biking.
