Looking back, I realize it was those sorts of challenges that taught me how to troubleshoot, which has become one of my biggest strengths. As I transition to my own lab, I'm realizing that teaching others to work through that struggle is actually the hardest part.
This really resonates with me, Paul, especially what you said about growth through intellectual struggle. I remember a time in your lab when @joshcashaback.bsky.social wouldn’t give me the answer to a coding/design problem. I felt so frustrated then and just wanted someone to tell me the solution.

Homeward bound! After a successful postdoc at Penn State, I'm thrilled to be heading back to Canada to join the University of Guelph faculty in neuroscience and applied cognitive sciences. Bring on the next chapter!
Hello TO! I'm back!
I see how easily confidence can stall when students don't yet recognize that friction as productive. What worries me about AI isn’t just whether it’s accurate, but that it might take away the challenges trainees need to really take ownership of their scientific identity.
I've officially welcomed my first thesis student as an incoming PI. July 1st is starting to feel real!
To the young women finding their way into research, the process matters. Preparation, curiosity, courage. Outcomes usually find you.
Grateful for voices like Cori Close!
