Why choose between mom guilt and writing guilt when you can have both? Encouraging and connecting parents in academia. (she/her)

    Sometimes being a parent in academia feels like riding a bike with a flat tire - you're working as hard as you can, you're exhausted and sweaty, but people are passing you with ease.

    RT @smbrander: This is the DEI issue few want to acknowledge. On one of my last work trips when I ran into someone I knew from work they asked who was holding down the fort 😒 @Momademia

    RT @mothersinsci: As summer unfolds, remember to take a well-deserved break! Balancing academia & family is tough, so prioritize self-care, set boundaries, and explore new experiences. Disconnect from social media & focus on what matters. Here’s to a restful and memorable summer! @Momademia #STEMM

    RT @NinaSteele17: It can be really challenging to watch someone actively choose to live in a non authentic way. All we can control is our choices and thoughts 🌸. Post divorce I’m focused on the small things in life that are beautiful- like precious toddler naps on your lap! @Momademia

    Speaking of women w/o children, you may think that they have workplace advantages similar to men, but they do not. They experience: -"Maybe baby" bias -"Do more" bias -"Pay less" bias -"Never quite right" bias Read my & leannedz's new @harvardbiz article.

    RT @LucaLeisten: Motherhood is wild: One second your crying because your baby is growing up too fast (spoiler: she turned three weeks old today, and yes of course I celebrated this), next your crying because you have absolutely zero time to yourself all day. #momademia #PhDlife #momsinresearch
