July 2025 was hard y'all 🌝🥹🩷 Finished and submitted my first first-author paper, took my kids to live in my home country for 3 weeks and had to bring them back to the US after 1.5 weeks because they weren't ready for Latin America😂, hosted the inaugural @InspiraSTEM conference, created a scientific poster in 24 hours, did research, had fun, and ate yummy food but I was very tired and sleep deprived. But Im in my boss era, what can I say 💅🏻 #scientist #womeninstem #engineer #workingmom #phdstudent
