Yup, I did research my first two undergrad summers because TAing required teaching experience, and then TA'd my second two summers. Then went to grad school and couldn't get time off to go back (and now small kiddos).

Okay I've answered this one before but forgot to include nerd camp?? I also went to nerd camp, and then went back to nerd camp as a TA as an undergrad.

Raised in a multi-religious family and my parents say this to me all the time (my toddler is more like my spouse, but his sister will be born in the next month so we'll see)

This skeet did not age well... Got put on essentially bed rest two weeks later and didn't get to collect the data I wanted.

IMO Zotero is the best free version, but since my PhD advisor got me a Paperpile account I haven't gone back! Now my postdoc lab uses Paperpile too. Excellent sharing/search/organization features plus really good integration with Google Docs and Word.

Oh yeah. It gets much better when they drop down to two (mostly) consistent naps.

If it helps, I'm very excited for one of those conferences!! But yeah that's a lot to have going on at one time 😅

Simultaneously happy and concerned about February being so close - on one hand I would like to meet baby #2 and not be pregnant anymore but on the other hand I have so many things to do before maternity leave 😅
