Grateful beyond words to my mentor, Dr. @jannolta.bsky.social, for taking me to my first big conference in San Diego. As a first-gen student, this life-changing experience taught me so much & opened so many doors. Huge thanks also to Geralyn for her amazing mentorship. Feeling so inspired! #ASH24

Guy behind the breeches managed to get elected Prez-Elect of the Botanical Society of America. Still doesn’t feel real and probably won’t until I start my term just after #Botany2025, but I promise to do my best bc plants & plant peeps are awesome.

Take charge of your own leadership journey. Be the leader you needed when you were starting out—and start by leading yourself first. #ThursdayThoughts

Who am I if I’m not a #DevelopmentalBiologist? A (long) thread. Today on my re-introduction to BlueSky, I would like to tell you how I got here. I am a #FirstGen college attendee and graduate. I was raised in a single-parent household. We struggled financially when I was growing up. 1/

My dad just texted me “did you get your paper in?”.

The “paper” in question is my doctoral thesis. Biggest “paper” ever.

My dad was a high school teacher for a long time so it makes sense but still how cute is that?! #FirstGen

At the age in this photo, I asked my favorite teacher what I could do to work for NASA someday. He laughed. He knew my parents never graduated high school. It’s been a difficult road but at 38 my biggest childhood dream has come true. I now have my PhD in astrophysics and work at NASA.

People from #workingclass backgrounds often struggle with self-promotion - an unwritten rule of work.

I'm gonna start planting my partner in the audience every time so he can ask “DO YOU HAVE A BOOK?!”
