I was asked what I wish I knew in my 1st year of grad school recently for @DukePsychNeuro. I talked about assembling an A-team of mentors for your many goals & interests.

But I& #39;ve been thinkin& #39; about what other tidbits I wish someone had told me.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ€”" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht">And I have 2 addendum! 1/5

Being able to celebrate others& #39; professional victories whole-heartedly will make grad school, etc. so much better. It& #39;ll nurture more authentic relationships with your fellow superstars, and give you more reasons to smile!

I remember finishing a prelim I was super proud of, and immediately switching to thinking about everything I was "so behind" on. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ˜©" title="Mattes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Mattes Gesicht"> Not optimal! 3/5
If you did something meaningful, mark it. Treat yourself to a nice meal, go on a trip, host a dinner party/picnic w the people you love -- whatever you& #39;re tempted to put off until you& #39;ve worked or done "enough."

(And you& #39;ll probably be more ~productive~ long-term anyway...) 4/5
