Summer Echo: born early at 35 weeks 1 day at 1:08 am March 29 weighing in itty bitty at 4 lbs 1 oz. She was immediately taken to the NICU where she is now and is doing well.

I am still on bed rest from pre-eclampsia.

I was on german TV advertising #drosophila #research #womaninscience #academicmom #momademics #ichbinhanna #outreach is important

Reflecting on that one time when I wrote and defended a whole dissertation while also becoming a mom. 💪🏽💪🏽she was 7 months old here..now she’s 4 and has an almost 1 year old brother. I pray everyday that I’m making them proud #mommyscientist #academicmom

Took the evening to soak it all in, but I did it! Submitted all my #APPIC applications last night amidst the constant [needed] breaks Fern required of me and unlearning/relearning what productivity means. This #academicmom thing is hard, but so worth it 🫶🏽

How we started 2nd year of my PhD program —> how we ended. Same spot, same maternity shorts 🤪

I'm Dr. Fackler now. After four and a bit years of work, most of which was during a pandemic, while juggling parenting a beautiful baby and countless other things. I'll never forget today. UGA UGA Mary Frances Early College of Education #GoDawgs #firstgen #academicmom

On this Mother’s Day I’m thinking of all moms but especially academic moms striving every day for their families, for excellence, to do the seemingly impossible everyday. We are enough. #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #phd life #phd #UWGrad #mamascholar #academicmom #ThisisELPA

Dr. to the world, forever Mama to this little one ❤ #AcademicMom

My NY resolution is to rediscover and embrace the TRUE motivation for my chosen disciplinary path 17-18 yr ago taking experiences, my work ethic and personal boundaries (that tend to get so easily lost in #academiclife ) on board. Wish me luck! #academicmom

#ASCPhilly23 #ASC2023 looks a little different for me this year but we’re here and presenting this morning at 11 am on the experiences of parents who owe criminal legal debt. If you hear a baby in your sessions this week it’s probably mine 🤷🏻‍♀️🥰 #academicmom

3 of the interns in my lab and my daughter are majoring in bioengineering/biomedical engineering. So I’m the type of #academicmom that will make sure they connect. And I should also state the obvious. They are beautiful! ⁦Sydney Joseph⁩ ⁦Oyinkansola Amao
