Some people still don't understand how much effort is required for highly competitive grants. Sometimes you get close and still miss. No shame in that. It’s part of the game. Get up, learn and fight again. That’s how science moves forward. πŸ’ͺπŸ”¬πŸ’ͺ I will be back in next call!!

For me, progress in research wouldn’t be possible without #biketherapy.
(and nothing like your dad beating you up🀭😊)
In science, protecting your mental health is everything.
What is your therapy? #runtherapy ? #dancetherapy ? #arttherapy ? #musictherapy ? #swimtherapy ?
