My first pub is out in the wild! I am deeply grateful for this authorship team—their expertise, support, and encouragement made this possible. I will always champion the work of midwives and proudly be their biggest hype girl! url.usb.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/xq5rCKAlPN...

Clocked out of my last shift at this incredible critical access hospital (CAH). Returning to the bedside this past year was special. Going to miss my Atchison fam! 🏥 #nurse #milspo

Happy Mother’s Day to the feisty science moms out there. You’re brilliant! You balance and manage SO MUCH. You bring excellence, creativity, innovation, and humanity to the world. If I hadn’t seen others having families AND doing science, I wouldn’t have realized I could do it, too. Thank you ❤️

Getting these during Nurses Week is 🥹. Linking arms with fellow nurses and caring for our patients like they’re family—that’s what #nursing is all about. Happy Nurses Week to all the incredible nurses out there. Grateful and proud to be among the ranks!

Crowdsourcing: how many weeks did you allot to prepare for your comprehensive exams? #phdstudent #academicsky

I don't get how anyone can possibly be okay with ending the WHI. This study has accrued decades of data from 42000 women and it is still going. It helps to address critical research gaps that have been allowed to go unfilled because of durable misogyny and provides invaluable insight into aging.

Absolutely dead 🤣. But really…..

“Richard Feynman once wrote the scientists’ most valuable transferable skill is a deep and intimate experience with doubt. It’s difficult to motivate yourself to spend a life in research if you believe you know everything…” (🧵)

I was very intentional in balancing work and fun at this conference because this semester has just been ROUGH. I’m still tired, but it was the emotional boost I needed. (And I’m totally going to see Hamilton again in NYC this June because you guysss….🔥!)

Grateful for the opportunity to share this poster + the parent study (rdcu.be/ehqiQ) at the 2025 Western Institute of Nursing conference this week. Thank you @dr-e-phd.bsky.social for leading the way! 🫶🏼 Looking fwd to BioBAYB2!

Spent the afternoon on the hill advocating for nursing education and increasing NINR funding. What an experience. There’s so much work to do! #AACNSPS2025 #AACNadvocate

This was such an inspiring conversation! #femtech open.spotify.com/episode/0k8i...

To mark International Women’s Day, six award-winning female scientists told Nature about the women who have inspired them by pushing innovative research and creating opportunities for others. #WomenInStem 🧪

WHERE WILL YOU BE TOMORROW?

Excited to walk through this as our lab starts some preliminary projects on Project MHISS's EMA data. by @bsiepe.bsky.social Rieble @rayyantutunji.bsky.social @aljoscharimpler.bsky.social Murz Proppert and @eikofried.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10....

I have a confession . . . I was an “overhead cost”. I was a beaker washer, agar plate pourer, research secretary. I was paid by “overhead cost” fees. Loved it. Those “overhead cost” jobs allowed this rural kid to become a physician. Please tag how #OverheadCostJob impact u.

All the PhD year 2’s right now….. #PhDSky #AcademicSky

Anyone else feel like they lived 17 lives in January? I’m just over here slathering these on while a diffuser runs continuously near me. Very little capacity for being on socials these days. 😖

A friend shared these photos a day before this NIH mess happened, reminding our little group that the degree we’re working toward and the programs of research we’re hoping to build matter. It matters. WE’RE PRESSING ON. #nanopreemie #saferpregnancies #saferbirths #researchmatters #supportscience

So glad I got to tune into this today. It was excellent! (+ super cool that they shared an article that an old high school friend of mine wrote! Such a small world!) #cardioOB

Was on this app less than 1 min today and am already at this point:

I randomly started a running program on 1/3. It has me running 5 miles today. Like what. I didn’t give this enough thought. I’ve run more the past 3 weeks than I did all last semester. This is very typical of me. 🤣 #phdsky #academicsky

Done having babies so now I have her sleeping on my chest. 🐾

We all have so much work to do. This was a great read—highly recommend. www.audible.com/pd/B0C4BH4L2...

…last year, she went to a private school. They used paper and pencil for everything, and I swear she played the glockenspiel all year in music class. 🤔

Are all schools doing this? 💻 My 6th grader created this to go with her book report. She made these character photos using #AI. She’s also currently writing a book in Google docs, and she created a cover on Canva. In music, they make tracks on their Chromebooks. This is a public school…

Another semester, another language. Whyyy. (I like R Studio so far though!) (I’ll have to use the summer to become fluent in ONE of these. 😅) #phdsky #phdlife

Anyone else’s kids not let anything slide? My 3 y/o: “If you want to be a good mom, don’t say ‘stupid’.” (Note: I was calling the school parking lot stupid and thought I was saying it under my breath 🫣.) Me: 🫠🫠 My 6 y/o: “The way that you said that was kind of rude.” Me: “Oh…sorry.” #motherhood

I guess I was overly dramatic today—the hubs brought home🍷 and 🍫 . But seriously, I’m not cut out for academia—I can’t handle rejection 😅. #phdsky #academicsky #phdlife

#nightshift IYKYK: allllll the drinks (coffee, protein shake, energy drink, and water).

Forcing myself to use Notion this term to keep articles organized. There is indeed a very nifty Notion + Zotero integration called “Notero”. Didn’t think I could love Zotero more but alas. 😜 #phdsky #academicsky #academicchatter #referencemanger #research #science #nurse

❤️ to all my fellow healthcare workers—you show up (no matter what) and run toward the hard/pain/trauma (not away). + many thanks to those who worked tirelessly to gets these roads cleared/salted! #KC #RN #healthcare

It’s leg day. #snowday

Happy to extend winter break with these kiddos + ❄️⛄️☕️.

I’ve never felt scared going into a new year until this year. So many milestones to hit (and some audacious goals). Trusting myself to rise to the challenge(s). Let’s gooooo. #PhDSky #AcademicSky #PhDlife

“[Feature engineering] is a process that demands creativity and domain knowledge and has as much art as science.” Precisely why nurse scientists are crucial members of the interdisciplinary team. 🫡 Side note: I am really enjoying my Medium membership. I’ve learned so many tips from these articles!

I really enjoyed this article about the nature of science (and found it quite accurate). genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

+ some of my fav gifts. Pretty much everything I need for a productive semester. 🤓 #PhDsky #AcademicSky #science #research

Quick trip to the zoo // these are some of my favorite creatures 😍 #holidaybreak

They say it’s not what's under the tree that matters, but who's gathered around it. Wishing you warmth, joy, and togetherness this holiday season. ❤️ #merrychristmas
