and here i am just being a total nerd for free like a chump...

Hey at least we're getting paid for it!

Yeah I used to get made fun of for being a "nerd", but looking back on it all I'm glad I was passionate about something and that I was able to build a career out of it.

Lol aren't we all nerds? I remember being called this in school for liking science and now it's like... so interesting to see just how far my passion has taken me. Nerds for the win!

I feel like academia as a whole is seen as something so simple by people from the outside. I spend countless hours researching, from home, libraries, field trips, etc., and my mom tells people I am a writer lol

Yup, a nerd while on the clock and a nerd while off the clock, doesn't get much better than that if you ask me

I really enjoy science because it allows me to understand the world we live in from a different perspective. Science is all around us but you don't see it until you understand that, and I find that fascinating. Tell your dad we're all just dreamers! haha

Dads sure do have a way with words.

Hi Moms. I’m 4.5mo postpartum with my first, and I’m having incredible feelings of resentment toward my husband, who I love dearly and with whom I’ve always had a great relationship. It feels like he’s not factoring me or the baby into his decisions (e.g. going on a 4d boys trip, attending big events), while I’m left with the consequences. My mat leave is ending, and he’s now sick with COVID. He’s quarantining at my in-laws while I return to work and take care of baby. I’m so frustrated… (cont.)
