A Little Planning Goes A Long Way

Grad school changed the way I think about consistency. This relates to several aspects of my life, but one I’d like to highlight is meal prepping. Before grad school, I was much more likely to figure out what I was eating when I was already hungry. That usually meant grabbing whatever was convenient, ordering takeout, or coming home to a home-cooked meal from my mum.

Now, meal prepping has become one small way I can take care of myself before the busy week even begins. Between research, meetings, and trying to maintain some semblance of a social life, I originally thought meal prepping would be another thing on my already too-long to-do list. I was wrong. Because I know I have a packed week ahead, I’ve learned to plan my meals and build a daily routine when I’ll realistically have time to cook. Each week, I cook a few staple proteins, make a big batch of rice or another grain, prep vegetables, soup, and portion everything out. It’s not always elaborate, but having food ready means I have one less thing to worry about when the week gets hectic. Eventually, meal prepping stopped feeling like a chore and started feeling like part of my weekly rhythm. It became less about spending hours in the kitchen and more about making life a little easier for myself.

Anyway, that’s one of the best things grad school has taught me about consistency. It doesn’t necessarily mean doing something perfectly every single time. Sometimes, it simply means creating a routine you can stick to. I like to think that when I meal prep, I’m not just preparing food for the week. I’m also preparing to take care of myself through whatever the week brings.

Timeless and mitochondria! 🧬⚡

Kalisse Horne, a PhD student, started this as a side project, and it grew into a full research project!
Many students in the lab, including Havya, Shriya, and Rhea, also contributed to this work, together with Chiaki Noguchi, Dr. Christian Sell, and Dr. Josh Mell 😊
Great teamwork! 👏🔬

AI can help researchers write, code, search and check results. But it can also hallucinate sources, obscure processes and challenge scientific trust. 🔍
At the RC Trust Graduate School, @JohannesBreuer discussed what this means for research in the social and behavioral sciences.

A Good Spring Semester and the End of my Third Year

As I wrap up this semester, I am taking some time to reflect on the past year as a scientist. It has been a memorable, yet trying year. I have felt disappointment and joy. I have been excited about my work, yet quietly questioned whether I belong in it. It is a strange combination of emotions to hold at once. In the midst of my doubts, I have been reminded constantly that I am meant to be here and I have a seat at this table. I am grateful for the lessons, and I am grateful for the wins.

Lessons

1. The PhD will try you. I knew going in that this journey would test me, but boy, little did I know how ‘trying’ that would me. I am still learning that failure is okay and that no matter how many times things don’t work, the only real move is to pick myself up and try again.
2. High expectations cut both ways. I hold myself to high standards and that makes ‘failure’ harder than it has to be. I am not exactly where I thought I would be by now, but I am so much further along than I was a year ago. I have grown incredibly as a person and a scientist and that’s worth celebrating.
3. The lessons matter as much as the outputs. The lessons I am learning as a scientist are equally as important, if not more than the outputs I expect from my work. I have learned to think critically, read broadly, troubleshoot and teach, and these are the biggest lessons I will carry into every stage of my career.

Wins

1. I am owning my science. I have mastered several techniques in my scientific field. That shift, from doing to owning, is a quiet kind of win, but it’s the one I’m proudest of. I am learning so much and am looking forward to applying these skills in my research.
2. I’ve gotten to mentor a student. I have been mentoring a student and that has been exciting for me. I enjoy teaching and talking to others about my science and that has been one of the major highlights of my year.
3. I was awarded my first grant. This semester I received my first grant to support my dissertation research. Honestly, it still feels surreal. I am grateful to have a mentor and community that pushes me and believes in my work.
4. Two poster awards. I have won two major poster awards this year, one in fall and one in spring. I’ve had the chance to present my work several times in between.
5. More presentations. I’ve been selected to give a talk at an upcoming conference in my field this summer and I looking forward to it!

The third year of a PhD has a reputation for being the hardest one. I will not pretend it wasn’t. But looking back at this list, what I see is a year that grew me, not always in the ways I planned, but in the ways I needed 🤍

So in order to feel that today’s work day wasn’t completely wasted I signed 21 ‘research excellence letters’ that a colleague had shared with me whilst I was away from work. Turned out, as usual, to be the one of the most positive things I get asked to do.

Every year our best postgraduate researchers are nominated for this (cashless) prize by their doctoral examiners (the nominations are scrutinised by a committee) and if approved they get a letter telling them that we recognise their achievement and giving me the opportunity to wish them every success in their future career. The letters include the text used any examiners to justify their request for consideration for recognition of excellence (which are a fascinating snapshot of what excellence looks like across the disciplines).

I rarely get positive feedback from our postgraduate research community and wouldn’t expect to (except when I fix problems) so it is always amazing how well-received these letters are.

A younger coworker of mine completed her master’s thesis this summer. She intended to complete it in December, but her advisor kept sending it back to her to revise it. Anyway, I decided to give her some potted flowers (and a congrats card) on Monday in recognition of her advisor finally accepting it.

#Science #PhD face a challenging and uncertain future
Last year, more than 45,000 students earned #doctorates in science and #engineering, about an eight-fold increase compared to 1958.
Many budding #scientists go into #graduateschool with the goal of staying in #academia and ultimately establishing their own labs. For at least 30 years, there has been talk of a mismatch between the number of doctorates and the limited academic #job openings.

Happy Grad School Graduation anniversary to me. 🎓

Some years ago in Baltimore I finally put grad school in my rear-view mirror. I had worked 20+ part-time and 3 full-time jobs to get there. I treated myself to two ceremonies: one for Johns Hopkins and one for Peabody Conservatory.

An unexpected highlight was getting to meet James Van Allen, discoverer of Earth’s radiation belts. He was awarded an honorary doctorate by JHU that day so, in a way, he’s my classmate.

🍾 Semper sint in flore!
