Well, it's finally up. Thanks @sarahbraner.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy @cenmag.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy for profiling me and my journey from @cmu.edu@bsky.brid.gy to @ucddublin.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy. It's been a hell of a ride. I'm glad I'm here safe, at least.

Two days of connecting the Dutch Academic Community are coming up at #NWOCHAINS. Yesterday, we already had the New PI meeting and the PI meeting with a lot of great content. (1/8) #ECR #PI #Chemistry #ChemBio #Connections #NewPI

Come join me in Ireland @ucddublin.bsky.social @ucdchemistry.bsky.social! Help us understand the messiness of cross-talk in metal-ion batteries!

Today, @ucdchemistry.bsky.social let Alexander Jussupow, Liana Zoumpouli, and I introduce ourselves to the school and the @ucddublin.bsky.social community. Here's me trying to bring my whole self to my work.

Three New Ad Astra Fellows Joi...
My group delivered FOUR amazing talks today at the #GFÖ2025 #conference and I’m beyond proud. 🥹

Today, I start as an Ad Astra Fellow @ucddublin.bsky.social, which means that today's my first day as a professor. I don't know how to feel. This was my dream. It's what I worked for, and it finally happened! But I never thought it'd happen like this. (1/4) #AcademicSky #NewPI #CompChem 🧪 ⚗️
Still ~6.5 months until I start as an Assistant Prof., but I've just finished version 0.1 of "The CoReACTER Manual", the starting point for organizing the group I'm founding! I don't even know how many hours I put into this, but I'm relieved to be done (for now). (1/3)

Seems like we are having a lucky streak:
- Franzi is about to submit her PhD thesis 💪🏻
- Felix received excellent feedback on his first paper 💪🏻
- Simon is producing tons of exciting new simulation results 💪🏻
- Dimitris finally started his PhD adventure here in Hohenheim 💪🏻
- Rémi accepted our job offer and is planning to join the #ecoevo #modelling team in March 💪🏻
- ...and even my little coworker is in an excellent mood! 🥰
I'm a *very* proud #newPI today. 🎉

Oof. I feel so stressed. So many projects were supposed to be done before the winter break (haha) but they ALL decided to develop a life of their own and haunt me during vacation.
Argh. Sigh.
(But: the biggest goal for this year was to simply stay in the game and keep my group running, together with my little coworker, and we totally nailed that!)
I remember feeling terribly nervous before job interviews. Let’s be honest, it’s an awful feeling. But I never realised the other side might be equally nervous. Choosing the *right* person for a given job is so much more difficult than I thought. And that person also has to match with the rest of my team, otherwise it won’t work. Exciting times ahead!
New PI diaries: Taking Stock and Figuring Out Lab Finances
It's been over a year since Margot Smit started her own lab as a #newPI. Read her final post in the Node's 'New PI diaries' series, all about lab finances.
We wish her luck as she continues her new PI journey!

Submitted! One more then I'm done the whirlwind of studentship & grant applications! Then back to papers... do peer reviews, consult, admin, oh and also figure out why the new fluor microscope is giving a weird washed out image (in the occular itself). #NewPI

Hey #NewPI #AcademicChatter crowd: I'm thinking about getting a vacuum pump to speed up aspirating supernatant from pellets. We don't have access to a vacuum filter flask setup unfortunately. Was thinking about something like this: https://www.fishersci.co.uk/shop/products/airjet-mini-membrane-vacuum-pump/15134816#
Anyone with experience with benchtop vacuum pumps?
🚨Lipid Time🚨 I am thrilled to announce that I’m starting my journey as an independent group leader at @UniHeidelberg Biochemistry Center.
I will combine experimental research and computer simulations. Stay tuned for upcoming open positions! #NewPI

First manuscript with my new research group submitted :laptop_parrot: It's a short-paper for a conference, but still!
Really enjoyed this article, especially since I start my first faculty position in about a month. https://www.thetransmitter.org/craft-and-careers/how-to-explore-your-scientific-values-and-develop-a-vision-for-your-field/ #Neuroscience #NewPI
@Dev_journal's ‘Transitions in development‘ interviews feature new #DevBio PIs discussing the challenges and highlights of being a #newPI. These interviews will hopefully encourage future PIs and stimulate discussion around the career path of a developmental biologist:
