Favorite kind of week: Zoom calls, books and checklists

Update for week 18th Nov - 24th Nov

Started my visa application for my upcoming Europe trip (the Workshop is for a week and the location is lovely!). Made a checklist and applied for permission from the university, printed all the forms and collecting other documents. I love the task, but it drains me a bit!

I'm working on a collaborative project with quite an international team and we had our first discussion meeting this week. Excited!

Met with my mentor from the Supernova Foundation (a mentoring network for women in Physics). She's ao insightful and conversing with her always gives me a big picture and a lot of clarity. So grateful for her ♥️

Read a book after a loooong time. It's The Running Grave by Robert Galbraith. I've been waiting for the book's release but couldn't get my hands on a copy sooner. Absolutely enjoyed the read and felt so alive (I missed reading!)

bruh, i am apply for MSc in Criminology and Criminal Justice and have got some offers too. if you don't mind sharing, why did you hate taking criminology?

it just wasn't for me! it's an underdeveloped discipline in my country, so no one really knows what a "criminologist" is, and i don't care enough to prove myself. i'd rather do something else anyway

but if it's something you have a genuine interest in, then by all means, do pursue it! it's tough, but if you have motivation, you can absolutely excel in this field 💜

it's so funny that i'm employed as an "expert". lmao. i'm only a silly tumblr blogger. just some guy. avid weird stuff practitioner. and now - an expert!

So you know when you're in high school having a crisis because you don't know what career you want to do?

And then you know when you're in undergrad having a crisis because you don't know what career you want to do?

And then you know when you're doing a masters having a crisis because you don't know what career you want to do?

And then you know when you're doing a PhD having a crisis because you don't know what career you want to do?

haha. just me?

Mr. Fenton is a competent teacher. Almost too competent.

If Mr. Daniel Fenton had any more than a BS (with a minor in education), Tim would’ve flagged his profile as a potential Rogue. That’s the way of most charismatic academics, at least in Gotham. (Got a PhD? Instant watchlist.) Instead, he’s Gotham Academy’s newest celebrity, as a young, passionate, out-of-towner substitute while the chemistry teacher’s on maternity leave.

Tim gets the hype. Fenton seems to genuinely love teaching, and is invested in the welfare of the student body. He hands out bananas during exam week, hosts a “study habits seminar” each month to coach effective learning strategies, and the third time Tim falls asleep in his class, he even pulls Tim aside to ask if he’s doing okay. With all the late work he accepts and the protein bars he sneaks Tim, he’s every teen vigilante’s dream teacher. He could’ve been Tim’s favorite.

In fact, Mr. Fenton was Tim’s favorite. Up until Tim walks into Mr. Fenton’s chemistry classroom for a forgotten textbook, an hour after the final bell.

On the board where tallied scores for today’s review game had been kept, “THE CHEMISTRY BEHIND DR. CRANE’S FEAR GAS: ANXIOGENICS, NERI’S, & YOU,” is now scrawled. A detailed diagram of the human endocrine system projects in front of a small crowd of adoring and attentive students.

Fenton is wrist-deep in the skull cavity of an anatomical model. A short tug, and out pops the brain.

It’s plastic. It’s fake.

Tim identifies the nearest emergency exit.

Fenton turns to the door, and in the dark classroom with the projector illuminating half his face, his eyes almost seem to flash red. “What’s up, Tim?” he asks. His friendly grin is too big for his face. “I didn’t know you wanted to join the Just Science League!”

[OR: Danny’s a science teacher at Tim’s school. Gotham’s a pretty wild place, even for someone who grew up a superhero in a ghost-infested town, so he takes it upon himself to start a club teaching kids how to manage themselves in the event of a crisis. These Gothamites are pretty hardy, but a little extra training never hurt anybody! And he suspects one of his students might be a teen vigilante, like he’d been, back in the day. As a senior super, it's Danny’s duty look out for him! Surely, this is the subtlest and most appropriate way to give the kid pointers.]

[Tim immediately assumes supervillain.]

Hi! I'm Sierra.

The more curated, managed side of @catboybiologist.

I'm a transgender woman, PhD student in molecular, cell, and developmental biology, and outdoor enthusiast. I love to do stuff like this:

This blog is primarily meant to be a place to collect anything I've personally "made". This includes, but is not limited to:

Higher effort rambles about science

Writing projects

Podcast projects

Nature pictures

SFW selfies

Hopefully I get around to doing these more frequently!

If you enjoy any of these, consider throwing a couple bucks at my kofi:

This blog is meant to be unambiguously SFW. For thirst traps and anything that tows the line between SFW and NSFW, go to @catboybiologist. CatboyBiologist is also my more active and larger blog. If there's ever a problem over there, this is also probably the first alternate place you'll find me.

Have fun here, and happy trails!

28.08.2024 - Introduction Post

Good morning everyone! I am posting this a day late, so I suppose I'm not off to a great start, but I've recently been thinking about starting an accountability blog to help me get through my PhD as well as my personal studies.

My name is Eve, I am in Immunology & Microbial Sciences, just about to finish my first year. This project has been tough so far and has had a lot of setbacks, and for a very long time I thought about quitting because I completely lost my passion and excitement for it. After taking some overdue vacation I have managed to get back into the swing of things and reignite my interest for the topic. On top of that, I am in the early stages of writing both a novel and a D&D campaign, and I am learning Spanish (high B1) and German (A1) with the aim to take on more languages in the future. I spend most of my time either in the lab/studying, with friends, or with my boyfriend, but in the time I have for myself in the evenings I love to read and play video games.

Since I am coming out of a pretty rough period mentally, I am trying to take things slow and set myself realistic daily goals while ensuring I stay on top of the tasks my supervisor assigns me. I'll try to post at least once every couple of days, but we'll see how things go when I get a bit busier.

Let's get our dreams lives together!

hii, i hope this doesn’t stress you but do you think there will be a ohb or killer update anytime soon? xx

Hi! okay so, currently I have my PhD proposal which I need to have finished by the end of the summer, and this manuscript that i personally would like to have finished by the end of the summer and i have unfortunately had to admit to myself that those projects are currently all i have the ability to manage at this moment

it is truly killing me not to update these fics because i am invested in them and i love them and like, especially OHB is so close to the end, but i just, currently do not have the mental energy to give them, SO, idk when the updates will happen, but they aren't abandoned, they will be finished i promise! I love these characters and these worlds and I wanna see them through!

[tchaikovskym]

i know i thought that having multiple small jobs would keep you fresher and keep you from growing tired from doing the same thing again and again, but now that i have like 4 things that each do not take up that much time, i'm still stressed about schedule crashes, like. how will i live.

11.07.2024 // back to work amidst debris and after a much-needed reset. It's cold and windy here, exactly the way I like it (no longer a summer person). as an extremely unorganised and easily distracted person, I'm trying to learn how to manage a long-term project because that's essentially what a PhD is.
