Great piece Vicky! And encouraging for me, too, since I'm about to dive into the recording process for my online course and I'm pretty nervous about all the technical aspects of it. But, as you said, once you put in the effort, you learn, and then it becomes easier!

Wow, Vicky, congratulations on your speaking engagement at the AAAL conference! That is fantastic! 🙌 I just went to check out the virtual day on their site... it's a wee bit costly for an aspiring post-doc. I am going to try to make it though. 💫 I love the video. Duran Duran were my ultimate favourites in high school. You ask if it's 'megafan' or 'superfan'... nowadays the 😎word is 'stan'. I learned that one a few years ago -- had to Google it. 🤣😅

Thank youuuuuu so much, Taylor! Unfortunately yes, and this is something that is a hindrance for a lot of us - conferences are super expensive, and not just most of them, the sweeping majority are 😭And we have to pay, whether we present or attend and it’s a lot of money 😔

But I must say, I really like how that sounded - aspiring postdoc 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻You go for it, Dr Brooks!!!!

Such a clever article, Vicky!!! Our forever learner and role model! Yet, you have known so much ever since you were very young - Kindergarten and primary must have felt like more like a teaching experience rather than a learning one! Keep up the incredible work you are doing, Vicky!!! 👏
