Britt DK Gratreak 🖖<p>It's <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/FollowFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FollowFriday</span></a>, so let's share a thing that we are proud of doing this year!</p><p>For myself: I'm proud that I attended <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/SfN22" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SfN22</span></a> and presented my early research in-person. I've wanted to go to Society for Neuroscience since I was an undergraduate but never had the opportunity since I worked all through college to stay afloat.</p><p>I just joined my lab earlier this year and still managed to have something to talk about and contribute to science. I also had a new chronic illness kick in late this summer, so navigating the extra fatigue, pain, and symptoms was something I was unsure about. Wrapping IcyHot around my legs, taking meds, resting and accepting my physical limits without collapsing or falling into posterboards was a major plus. There is so much more I wanted to see, but I hope next year I will be able to catch up and make up the difference. </p><p>It helps tremendously to have a lab that always has your back! </p><p>What are you proud of this year, <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Academic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Academic</span></a> / <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a> mastodon?</p><p><a href="https://qoto.org/tags/NeuroscienceMigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NeuroscienceMigration</span></a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Neuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Neuroscience</span></a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/TwitterMigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TwitterMigration</span></a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/RIPTwitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RIPTwitter</span></a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/MedMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MedMastodon</span></a></p>
