One of the biggest lessons I needed to learn during my longer travels is to allow yourself time to rest. It can be so tempting to try and squeeze in ALL THE THINGS when exploring but sometimes you just need to chill. What do y’all do on your chill days? . . . . #visitscotland #travel #traveltips #travelhacks #realtalk #itsMeridith #clobarhoneymoon #honeymoon #conferencetravel #academicsummer #bedandbreakfast #readingabroad #STSblog #lazyday #rest (at Clynelish Farm B&B)

Unlike @wetlandwiggy and the rest of the folks in our most recent #STSblog post I do NOT have a dog. My apartment is lovely and great for loads of plants, but it is not conducive to dog ownership. My husband and I will for sure have our own doggo bestie eventually but for now we get our fix where we can. We know where all the friendly dogs live in our neighborhood and always go out of our way to give them pets (with permission of course!). How do y’all get your pet fixes during grad school? . . . #PhDogs #phdlife #gradschoollife #dogfriends #MayIPetYourDog #askThenPet #otherPeoplesDogs #linkinBio #STEMblog #STEMblogger #PhDblog #GradSchoolBlogger (at State College, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt1LYtNgCSz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hsszwv7p9fgs

You can read about the birthplace of Rachel’s love for nature in her own backyard on last week’s #STSblog. As you can see we haven’t yet grown out of finding joy in getting muddy for #Science! . . . #babyBesties #collegeFieldTrip #UpperGreenRiver #UpperGreenRiverBioPreserve #WKUbiology #entomology #muddy #optOutside #outdoorClassroom #muddyScientists #linkInBio (at Cave City, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs_4Ol2hUlM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1prwhtgs1g3ac

*NEW POST* We started our #NationalPark road trip in Las Cruces, NM and drove all the way up the country to Glacier NP before turning west and back down the coast. You don’t go that long/far with one other person without getting annoyed once in a while. But when you reflect on your adventures together you will remember all the good bits and won’t mind the late night driving or sleeping in your car. What plans have you made with your besties this year? . . . #linkInBio #STSblog #ScienceLifestyle #optoutside #womenwhohike #glaciernationalpark #waterfall #STEMblogger (at Glacier National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BslrYU5hfJV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yk8qr1fga97a

*NEW BLOG POST* We are still enjoying the residual relaxation from our beach-side new years adventures in Tybee Island, GA. On the blog we’ve shared some of our favorite photos and moments. For 10 years now we have maintained this traveling tradition with our college friends and their partners. Where should we spend next year’s adventures? . . . #20versary #STSblog #besties #newyears #travel #exploreSavannah #natureRefuge #marshland (at Savannah National Wildlife Refuge) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsOmXf6hstw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=t4g3yawej2rh

What a year for #SweetTeaScience! Rachel and I have loved writing again on the blog and sharing about our lives and journey. I love that our top nine reflect that work/life balance we strive for! We have lots of fun adventures planned for the new year and will continue our weekly posts! . . . #2018BestNine #STSblog #womeninSTEM #ScienceLifestyle #STEMblog #STEMblogger https://www.instagram.com/p/BsD7NrShdVa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=endh4vr63ze

*NEW POST* Lots of y’all on here are already super adept at rocking some #SciComm on social media. I get inspired all the time by posts on IG and Twitter and am always trying to convince more folks to join us! Our #STSblog post this week is a helpful guide to getting started on Twitter, and especially on #ScienceTwitter. .👩🏻‍💻. I’ve found several amazing opportunities on my twitter feed, including a recent #NEONdata workshop that took me to beautiful Boulder! What sort of opportunities have y’all found through social media and do you have any tips for getting started?? . . . #socialMedia #twitter #NewToSTEMtwitter #STEMblog #STEMblogging #linkInBio #PhDLife #research #EnvironmentalData (at National Ecological Observatory Network) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrXuFlkBc1W/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zyub7gan6th2

*NEW POST* Our monthly #SweetLinksParTea blog post is up on online now! We really enjoyed reading the articles we’re sharing with y’all.
