December 2024 The day has come - I presented my research to the department at the annual Langer's symposium. This is like the Christmas party in my department 🎄🩷 Every time I have an important presentation my kids either get sick or they wake up at night a lot before the day of the presentation. This time it was the waking up at night one. Despite the lack of sleep😴, I presented successfully ✅ This year's Langer was super fun🙊 I love getting together with my PhD friends because the best way to connect with people is trauma bonding 🙊😂 Anyway cheers to another great year together with my labmates and friends in the department🩷 I love science so much and so happy to be surrounded by people who love science too🧪 #phdstudent #phdstudentlife #workingmom #womeninstem #yaleuniversity #latinasinstem #firstgenstudent #womeninengineering
