My New Year’s resolution is to berate myself less for things I wish I could have done better, to learn from my mistakes, and give myself more credit for the things I did well but promptly forgot/ignored because academics love to live from crisis to crisis

Each of us contributes incrementally to a future we may never see. If it is in our lifetime, if our science, or our contribution, is part of a practical solution, it will likely be one sentence in a vast tome with contributions from thousands of authors across dozens of (not just science) fields.

Every holiday break, I’m like, “I’m going to catch up on my work and reading papers…” and then every break I just end up sleeping like a hibernating bear.

Very unfortunate that I have to mention both the intermembrane space AND the inner mitochondrial membrane for my talk tomorrow. Don't fail me now, Californian accent (InTer and inner sound the same when I say it. It's haunted me all week)! I swear I know the difference
