C’mon now. Can we please agree that science is broken?

Dogs can love cartoons too. 😂

Do we think the crazy folks have come out of their bunkers yet or will they wait until tomorrow?

I teach a class where I ask students to write proposals and prepare budgets. For the first time this year, I'm seeing many budgets that are primarily made up of publication costs. How is this ok?

Had a beautiful visitor to the yard this morning. We usually don’t catch sight of these in the daylight!

Education is knowing that a tomato is a fruit
Intelligence is not putting it in a fruit salad
Experience is remembering that cake is better so why are you even making a fruit salad?
Academia is being forced to make a fruit salad and then add tomatoes because Reviewer 2 said so 😬

If at first you don’t succeed, try try again to spell perseverance.

I’ve been wondering how my 11yo always seems to have money to spend. Today I found out that she is selling…her…snacks. At a 400% markup.

Thinking I should take her out of school and make her my business advisor.

Scary stuff happening today. This is the place where many of us go to run, walk dogs, and play pickleball and tennis. So sad for this student’s family and friends.

Most people’s Twitter feeds have posts about cute dogs, weird things kids do, or political commentary. Mine today is chock full of giant rat pen*ses. Chock full. Like every other post is a giant rat pen*s. Thanks #sciencetwitter for making life a little extra interesting.

My 11yo looked at me with disgust when I used “LOL” in a text. She said “Never do that again.” I winked and said “I’m not a REGULAR mom. I’m a COOL mom”. Excuse me while I go put on my pink velour sweat suit.

Parents of littles are not ok. Our family just cleared the stomach bug only to land one day later in our 5th (5th!) round of strep in three months. Pediatrician says most of her patients are in the same cycle of constant, often multiple, infections. It’s insane out there folks!

I was assigned as Reviewer 2 but couldn’t find a reason to recommend anything other than a minor revision. Have I just ripped a hole in the space time continuum?

This is just fun (and impressive!)

Sometimes I marvel at the fact that I’m trusted to organize stable lives for two little humans and run a grad program when it takes me this many lost rewards cards to tick 10 slots at our local sushi joint.

I told my grad class that I might cancel the next one because many of them are headed to a conference and can't make it. One said 'Please don't! This is my favorite part of the week!'

Excuse me while I ride this high.

Today I came up with a pipe cleaner activity to teach about the lek paradox and the roles of hotshot and hotspot leks literally MINUTES before class started. Grabbed the pipe cleaners and went. It turned out awesome! Thank you pipe cleaner gods.
