If anyone sees this dumb lil guy in West Philly lmk Pogo got out yesterday. He's a former street cat and has been known to follow people several blocks and try to invite himself inside so we're not ruling out that someone brought him in, but most likely he's wandering around looking for shade

One last piece of news to cap off the year.... the Lee lab is now funded by an ✨NSF CAREER✨!!! We'll explore how transgenerational inheritance affects the earliest decisions in C. elegans embryos AND build new CUREs for our first-gen students. 🪱🧬 This is how we feel about being funded! 👇

I am delighted to share new work with Simon Myers (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...), on how genetic variants that influence binding patterns of PRDM9 and slow down the repair of meiotic double-strand breaks impact mammalian spermatogenesis and fertility. 1/n

Very relieved that a very competent technician is at my house fixing my AC. I have a history of working on grants in heatwaves with no AC, but more than happy to end the practice.

I'm giving a talk today in virtual @evolmtg.bsky.social #evol2026 on federal impacts on ecology, evolution, and marine science. 🧪2:45pm ET, followed by a panel discussion on how scientists can inform policy led by Liz Alter. Will be presenting data from our survey www.firsthandaccounts.org

Conference friends: My voice is very loud. Almost certainly louder than yours. I always use the microphone during a conference presentation so that everyone can clearly hear me. And you should too.

As someone who lost hearing in one ear for about a year and now has poor in that ear, I super appreciate anyone who uses a microphone.

When I hear someone say "I don't need a microphone" I hear them centering themselves, mistaking their experience as universal. Meanwhile, I have full hearing and still can't hear people without mics in large spaces. Too much background noise, too much space.

very important

So I have this monster living in a hole in my backyard.. only comes out this time of year. Likes to take a snooze on the deck midday. Not often can one contemplate a venomous reptile next to the porch furniture #Heloderma_suspectum #Tucson

Semi-regular reminder that if your Word docs are doing dumb things around page breaks that are messing up your ability to cram words into a grant - you probably need to turn off widow and orphan control! #academicsky typographyforlawyers.com/widow-and-or...
