In his #JEB100 ECRSpotlight @alligator_arias discusses his research journey from #alligators to rats, how #alligators can offer new insights into locomotion & his desire to travel the world and study every animal species.

This week has been eventful! Submitted 2 abstracts for #SICB and finished my summer fellowship 🙌🏽 I can breathe now, right?
Am I excited? Yes! Am I ready? Nope. Just stressed now 😅 anyone else?
Replying to @SICB_
@SICB_ Are you ready for 2024?
Abstract submission deadline: August 29th
Check the meeting site for more details. We will continue to update it regularly.

Earlier this month I completed my Certificate of Teaching Excellence from @dteiuci and I just received summer funding through their Scholars Program! Woohoo! 🥳

PhD Success Tip:
It's OK to be new at something. And to be bad at it. You will get better if you keep practicing.
Ex: I'm working on op-ed writing. It took me a full week to write 750 words. This will get easier if I keep going.
@OpenAcademics @PhD_Genie
First time at #APS2023. Anyone want to talk about tendons?

The best way to learn data analysis is to actually practice it.
Each week, the #tidyTuesday challenge gives you plenty of opportunity for this.
Don't know how to get started with the challenge? Here's an #rstats guide using this week's data.

Scratched my head for 4 days trying to figure out this code. Now I have beautiful graphs. Worth it? YES
