I’m sitting here reflecting on the week I’ve had. We are currently in Europe having travelled to Zurich for an important meeting, and i am thinking about the reality of what that’s been like. My life has completely changed since having my son. From sneaking moments of study and expressing milk for the times that we are separated, to looking after a sick bubba who only wants his mama, to walking into important meeting with my family and wondering if my son will be ok while I’m gone. Life is certainly more complex and while I believe it’s richer, sometimes I question if I’m simply wearing too many hats. #littlestoriesofmylife #work #boss #europe #wanderlust #academicmama
Omg some days coffee is very much required. Belated happy Mother’s Day to all the academic mamas boobin’, non-boobin’, definitely not sleeping and all the while holding their research programs together #motherhood #academicmama #work #neuroscience #science
I usually don’t mind grant writing but this year has been ridiculous and I am SO over it. I can’t wait to get this #NHMRC grant in so I can focus on my current projects again! I say that but I have another three grants to apply for before the end of June 🤦🏽♀️ #balance #grantwriting #work #research #neuroscience #science #scientist
My mini-lab is in the process of setting up the Golgi-Cox staining method to visualise the shapes of brain cells in people who had stressful lives. Brain cells are extraordinarily complex, and their structures reflect their function and give clues about how these cells co-exist with each other. The Golgi-Cox method is super cool because it selectively stains neurons and neuroglia, which makes their structures super identifiable. Funnily enough we don’t know why some neurons get stained while others don’t!! It’s awesome, huh!? 🔬Dominic Kaul #neuroscience #brain #research #science #researcher #academic #academicmama
