Glad to have met so many wonderful folks at #scms25. I hope to see you all next year! Safe travels!

What is the chokehold that Open Water has on Chicago! It's in my hotel room, it's at the coffee shop, it's in the art museum.

Okay, @bapollo.bsky.social has blown my mind. Did you know that Buildabear is now doing Buildabear “after dark?!” Yes, it’s what you think it is!! (Is it Build A Bear or Buildabear??)

SCMS Grad Students! We can’t wait to see you at 8PM tonight at the Graduate Student Reception! Please note: The Gold Room is located on the 2nd floor of the Fairmont Hotel—there is a misprint in the program that incorrectly lists it as being on the 3rd floor. See you then!

Exceptional day to visit the bean in the rain

A necessary title adjustment! See you soon, Chicago! #SCMS2025 #SCMS25
