I was asked to speak at an event on “what it’s like to be a woman in science”. In the spirit of transparency, I tell them I’m pregnant but will still be working at that point. They emailed back today saying they will “go with another speaker” ☹️ #womeninSTEM

My husband stayed at home this morning so I could catch up on some writing for a book chapter that is hideously overdue. I got so much done, and the baby was so tired from playing with him, that we both had a 2 hour nap this afternoon! Absolutely magic!!!

That feeling when you are asked to write a reference letter for someone so unequivocally deserving of promotion that it just cannot wait!

All checked in and about to embark on the long journey to Toronto for #MDRS2018 . Left my smiley little 4month old and my thoughtful 4.5 year old who told me to have fun on the plane and that maybe I’d even be able to watch Octonauts and Peppa Pig 😍

“Give the hippocampus a break!” Always a thrill to hear @CharanRanganath talk about memory networks and to show his progression of thinking (along with a healthy side order of bad jokes!!) #LEARNMEM2023

Developing brains are so amazing. My 4yo couldn't sleep as he kept thinking about a scary character from a movie. I reasoned "but you know it's not real" and he countered with "but my brain thinks it is" 🤓🧠 Touché!

Today my 4 year old told me that during song time at daycare the teachers asked what songs they'd like to sing... Fionn put his hand up and asked if they knew "Come As You Are" by Nirvana.... Cue awkward silence... 🤣
