Does Rudolph lead the sleigh on all nights or only foggy ones?

🎶 All I Want For Christmas Is Y…An Endowed Chair 🎶

One last read of this grant. Completely sick of it, so I know it’s ready.

How does the NYTimes interpret Vance’s “you no longer have to apologize for being white” as “refuses to take sides over bigotry” and a “big tent?”

Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas (observed)!

What a crappy game. Go Bills.

There is nothing better than a fat man interception.

Anyone know why Coleman was benched (again)?

Egg sandwich on freshly made biscuit made by me. Also a great beef on weck from Wayland last night.

Decided to watch Baby Driver instead. What an awesome movie!

I am home alone. If anyone needs me I’ll be staring at the wall in complete silence.

Sometimes I think about what the world would be like if historical events turned out differently. Like what if Jake had showed up to Taylor’s 21st birthday party?

Tonight’s Zoom happy hour theme: National Emo Day! Two large Cokes, two large fries Chili-cheese dog, large Dr. Pepper, Super Deluxe with cheese and tomato! Death Cab for Charcuterie Board, Monsters, and Black Parade cookies!

Well this picture changes my opinion of exactly no one.

HAHAHAHAHAHA DEEP BREATH HAHAHAHAHAHA

Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵 Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

New faculty photo just dropped.

I have so many jokes, but seriously, fuck these Nazis.

Holy cow! Josh got a photo with local legend Dr Ira Blader!

Very local tweet but I got reservations for Mira.

How are people dealing with AI use in their grad programs, specifically for thesis proposal, qualifying exam, dissertation? Banned completely? Allowed, but have to recognize its use? No guardrails at all? We have to develop a policy and I’m totally at a loss.

I am obsessed with the Vanity Fair White House photo shoot. Rubio: I like lamp.

Woke up to a paper acceptance! Just a middle author, but happy for my collaborator! Really cool study, details later!

Next month I get to talk to a class of middle schoolers about college and careers in Ecology. I've got 20min - what do they absolutely need to know?

As someone who has watched the original, um, several times, I didn’t expect this to wow me. But wow, the TTPD set, New Romantics, Long Live/New Years Day!! I’m wowed!!

🙄🙄 Everyone knows Lyme disease was engineered by a secret lab on Plum Island in the Long Island Sound. 🙄🙄 I can’t believe we are seriously investigating urban legends from my childhood.

Wait, I retract my previous tweet. THIS might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen.

@cdelawalla.bsky.social: “The version of you that I am hearing rn is a little bit different than the version I heard speaking at the MAHA action event…I wanted to give you an opportunity to dissent“ Bhattacharya: *does not dissent*

This year has been a doozy for science... I started @standupforscience.bsky.social on Feb 8th with a post here on @bsky.app...we have been VERY busy since then. Let me show you what we have done this year!!! Chip in to keep up the momentum, here: act.standupforscience.net/fundraising/...

This might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen.

Name a scarier thing to find in your inbox. “I would like to inform you that your name and email address have been added to Editorial Manager.”

Salmon with avocado sauce and quick lime pickles.

This is so true. There are SO many grad students doing scicomm on TikTok and reaching a much more broad and diverse audience than anything here.

Just procrastinated something else and ended up finishing my grant. What is happening today?!

Turned in my IACUC renewal one month early. Am I procrastinating writing a grant? Sure, but I’m still a hero.

What happened to Picture in Picture? We used to be a great country.

Happy Hanukkah!

Today I met a sloth.

This isn't insanity. This is a purposeful commitment to the continued slaughter of our children that certain leaders in this country seem hellbent on continuing.

NEVER A DOUBT!!

Someone please rip out the third down screen pass from the playbook.

I’d injure my thumb if I tried to pipet again and this guy is playing in the NFL.

If a WR is coming back for the ball, and the D runs into them, that’s PI on the D. Literally the same thing we saw last week. Nothing to complain about there.

That spot is bullshit.

Uh, what did Milano do wrong there?

That’s a touchdown.

Obviously @nytimes.com isn't a Josh Allen fan. #billsmafia
