I love my PBS Passport app! It's great to watch and to listen to shows like a podcast. Ken Burns' The Roosevelts series is helping me focus on the bigger picture of our country, who we were, are, and can be.

STEM professor colleagues, give this a read. We need to raise our own awareness to threats across all facets of higher Ed and support our colleagues and the core educational and scholarly mission of academia.

Holy fricking A. 1. Sciences aren't remotely apolitical, from who gets to do research to which research projects are funded to how findings are interpreted. 2. Who is going to write the reports/papers without humanities? 3. Science is also a target!! Ask the CDC researchers who were shot at!

Hey! New faculty! Your annual reminder to keep track of *everything* you do in some way or another. I just dump stuff into a Google doc, nothing fancy, but saves a ton of time when working on promotion & tenure docs. (Ask me what I'm working on right now...!) 🧪
