The bfast of a food & bev professional who is trying to get their life together: Greek yogurt, half a London fog from @redcatcoffee because I forgot about it once reps got here who tasted me on 4 different YUMMY @Back40Bham beers, the rest of my London fog, then a protein bagel

Science & engineering: WE MADE IT TO MARS 😃 Also science & engineering: sorry, you'll have to unscrew the pump off your shampoo bottle, flip the bottle over, and slam it into your hand repeatedly for a couple weeks to get the rest of the shampoo out even though we made a pump ☹️
Ending my Twitter hiatus with a new picture of me just out in the world casually wafting whiskey. Everywhere I turn it's both science and booze. #NewProfilePic
Coming out of social media hiatus to share this little piece of my soul that someone saw and appreciated. I love my bar.

Zoom has conditioned me to believe that if I don’t like an event or meeting, I can just leave—immediately and without a word to anyone. This will be hard to unlearn.
Never bet against small teams of people who believe they can change the world. 🚀

#AcademicTwitter How old were you when you found out you could have a career as a researcher? Just had this discussion w/ a friend & I thought I was one of the later ones only finding out in 3rd year undergrad but I’m realizing it’s more common than I thought!
Really tired of all these companies accidentally printing "King Size" on all their single serving candy packs. #fourreesesbigcupsisnotkingsize
