Research isn't a fixed process. Discovery ebbs and flows. Some weeks (and some projects) by their very nature require more time (in bursts). That said, good planning can almost always reduce time. Almost. So, requiring/expecting a fixed # of hrs is absurd. IMHO

Some pictures from the Summer: lab outing to Bent Spoon for ice cream and at the Mol Bio picnic. It was wonderful having Jenny (rising 2nd year) join us in the Summer for the OURSIP program!

What did you do with your summer after your first year of your PhD? Only research? Take a break? Travel? Prepare for your qualifying exams? I'm really curious! @AcademicChatter @PhDVoice #phdlife #PhDvoice #graduateschool

I did not get where I am because of luck - so do not water down my narrative and tell me otherwise. Too many times - people try to downplay your ability because of their own personal experiences. The audacity!

Balancing lab, classes, outreach and having a personal life. Is that even possible during graduate school? How do you manage your time during grad school? #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #phdvoice #phdlife #phdchat

99% of the time, if I have headphones on at lab, I'm high-key listening to trap music. What do y'all listen to whilst working at the bench? #phd #Science #gradschool
