Every person who you mentor is a unique individual, and none of them are you. Mentoring isn’t about sharing what you would do, but exploring what’s best for them to do.

Flying back to Seattle from Bozeman with a #MicrobialMascot. I’m sad that GIANTmicrobes, Inc. doesn’t have hyperthermophile plushies, especially after my trip to Yellowstone. Home soon then back to work. Univ. of Puget Sound ASM Thanks again for the invitation Roland Hatzenpichler!

On Saturday, the very patient Roland Hatzenpichler took me to see Yellowstone. It was a beautiful drive, and I saw mountains, rivers, a bison, and so many thermal features looming!

Don’t you wish this lamp in a Bozeman restaurant was designed to look like a bacteriophage??? I do.

I adored this tree with every visit. I know I shouldn’t visit again until things get better. hawaiʻi mau i koʻu puʻuwai

When I was growing up, I didn’t have access to a record player. Just an AM radio that I listened to a few times a week. Yet I know every word of this and similar songs. I wonder why. youtube.com/watch?v=71l85z…

If you're late to office hours, 5 students will be waiting for you. If you are on time, no one will show up.

So I definitely need to create an "OFFICIAL MICROBIOLOGIST" card now that I have visited the microbes at Yellowstone National Park. Happy to have advice on how to make one or have one made....

I am going to finally break down and get---for my own shelf---one of the HUGE microbiology textbooks. I have been using "Microbe" for many years because of my respect for Elio Schaechter. I also need to really delve into microbial biochemistry. Advice, please?

One of my #Bio350 #Micronauts recorded an ice nucleation experiment with Pseudomonas syringae, added music, and created what they call a #MicroRave. This is the goal: meshing microbiology and student creativity. Enjoy! Univ. of Puget Sound ASM youtube.com/shorts/E9_dNRt…

I have many thoughts. It's like Associate Deans is real. Let's review: if you want to have the administration recognize your birthday and to appreciate you with a generic email card, please let them know.

It’s been this way all of my life. But I do mean well, and always have.

I love it when my #Bio350 #Micronauts get creative with bioluminescent bacteria. Univ. of Puget Sound ASM
