Realized I was so focused on wet nose day I didnt post my #catsofmastodon . So here we go just before I wind down:

Thought I would introduce Mastodon to my #cat, Pip. Don’t let her fool you, she is pure evil. I’ve had her for over 5 years now, since she was a newborn #kitten abandoned by her mother. #catsofmastodon

So, I've decided after a bit of an explore, to repeat this tomorrow after some well earned sleep.

However, being a #catdad, I thought I'd post a few of my fluffballs. Meet Jade & Bailey.

I tweet about #MerckChemistry science, #pharma and #ChemistsWhoGolf or #ChemistsWhoCook.

I love bubbly wine and fancy food. Since I don’t run reactions in the lab anymore, I do them in my kitchen trying new techniques and recipies. 

I also co-host the #PharmToTablePod with my colleague Dani Schultz. Go check it out here on Apple Podcasts if any other platform.

#Introduction I am a DPhil Student at the University of Oxford supervised by Armin Lak and Chris Summerfield.

I work on the most exciting question in neuroscience: How do brains learn? I use a blend of experimental and theoretical methods to get at answers to this question. And when I can, I build useful tools for making sense of data.

I also help run the Cortex Club. We're always looking for speakers. Check out https://cortexclub.com if you would like to say hello.

Michael L. Anderson is a professor at the Rotman Institute of Philosophy, at Western University. His book, After Phrenology: Neural Reuse and the Interactive Brain, calls for a re-conceptualization of how we understand and study brains and minds https://braininspired.co/podcast/152/

One of the hardest parts of grad school is the struggle with failure, frustration, and self-doubt, and the fact that it can feel like you are the only one struggling. In reality, almost everyone around you feels the same struggle and feels like they are alone in it.
