Howdy! New to this whole Mastodon thing (I'm not even sure what instance I should be on) but eager. Name's Bug β I'm a queer master's student in an entomology lab, passionate about scientific outreach.
When Iβm not staring at insects, I spend my time creating zines, comics, other art, and playing D&D. I want to learn how to make video games. Letβs connect if you think little critters are cool!

Please share with anyone who needs to hear this.
I quit academia and I don't regret it at all.
In the post I am sharing why I am happier and feel like I am doing more for the scientific community outside of academia.
