The fact that I'm starting** to transition out of #NewPI status hit me today when I found a folder with a grant idea I really believe in, which I came up with 7 years ago, and which I wrote a serious grant pitch for 3 years ago, but then never submitted & haven't thought about since. 🙃 #AcademicSky

Well, it's finally up. Thanks @[email protected] @[email protected] for profiling me and my journey from @[email protected] to @[email protected]. It's been a hell of a ride. I'm glad I'm here safe, at least. ⚗️ #newpi #disabledinstem #lgbtqinstem #transinstem #leavingus #howtoleave #ireland

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) #AcademicSky #NewPI ⚗️ #ChemE

- 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. 🎉
