I'm back from maternity leave and hope to hit the ground running. I'm looking forward to learning again!

Dust storms ** 😓

My worst fear! 🫣 I live in the desert; worst we get is heat and windstorms.

I think so, too! 🥲❤️🥰 Thank you!

Thank you, friend! 🥰

Thank you so much! 🥰

Thank you! ❤️ he’s 7 weeks today!

How can I walk by this as a #medlibs and not buy it for the baby? 🦀

Thanks so much! Had a few hiccups but everything is going well! ❤️

Hot off the presses. It was an absolute pleasure to put this together with @liblaura.bsky.social!

Takeaways:

1. Don't assign systematic/scoping reviews to your students!
2. Don't ask your university librarian to support this terrible idea!

Thank you! ☺️

Thank you so much! 😊

I had a baby! This is our newborn greeting the morning for the very first time one month ago. ❤️

No custom folders here! 😮‍💨 I’ll have to ask our Electronic Resources librarian to submit a ticket or something. 😬

I can’t find my saved searches, despite following their documentation.

Medline, PubMed Central, and NCBI Bookshelf!!!

I'll be doing an advent calendar of #SearchingSkills where you can try/learn something new every day.

It will be primarily in PubMed and sometimes using MeSH terms to answer the question.

It will be aimed at inexperienced searchers, but I hope experienced searchers will join in too!

Time for a second cup! 😅

My husband’s volleyball girls thought I was a figment of his imagination. 😂 Anyway, why a football field? They made the Sweet 16 for Texas HS volleyball and are being recognized at tonight’s playoffs game. 💜🧡

My mom has always said it’s good luck when it actually happens, so I hope it’s the same in dreams! 😊

Fun fact about proximity search in #PubMed : stop words (e.g., the, of, kg, with, etc.) are counted, not overlooked. That means if you are using proximity to find phrases like "cancer of the bladder" or similar, your proximity N will need to account for the stop words. #medlibs

I am feeling incredibly out of touch with all things medlibs right now! 🙁 It feels like no learning is going on due to time, making me feel inadequate.

Happy “oh haha actually I’ve been here all summer working my normal hours” day to university staff who celebrate

I do! Please send me your address. 😃 I’m also on X, the Discord, or if you rather email it, I’m at mtesterman@utep.edu.

Hi Jenn! I am! Sorry I was late to reply. ❤️

I do! Please send me your address and I’ll mail it to ya. 🦀

Thanks to @berrybiblio.bsky.social I now have a #medlibs crab sticker adorning my coffee mug 🙂

These are a gift -- someone asked about postage -- I've got it! :) It's my way of saying thanks! 🙂 #medlibs, feel free to RT!

Heya, #medlibs! The stickers are here! I just confirmed yesterday I will be at MLA this year, so I've added the P/U @ MLA option. Here's the link to the form! forms.office.com/r/gVMSNMz7Zu (MacBook Air 13” for size reference!)
