Seeking advice from my fellow academics struggling with ADHD/anxiety/depression. How do you continue to be productive when you have an upcoming (next few days) deadline but are also having daily panic attacks and a lot of self doubt 😓 #AcademicMentalHealth #PhDChat

Not Banded Killifish but some important work on intraspecific variation in another Fundulus species! 🐟

My 1st phd paper! We investigated the stress response in 2 killifish populations and found latitudinal variation in the HPI-axis. This work shows the importance of intraspecific variation in the stress response and the potential role of local adaptation authors.elsevier.com/a/1emDB3v7jN0Y… 1/

In need of advice, please ‼️ Found the PERFECT research job! But it starts now & I don’t graduate my PhD until next summer. Anyone have advice on reaching out to register interest anyway/ for future opportunities? #phdchat #AcademicTwitter #PhDvoice #phd #sciencetwitter
