Looking for reasons.

My commute to work began with discovering this beautiful web in my car. Then having to destroy it.

Flying home from the Charleston conference is NOT going smoothly. We've had a trifecta of delays, the latest bc of short air traffic control staffing in Orlando. #shutdown

DeSantis' #DOGE wants #Florida universities to report on all grants, publications, and positions for the last 6 years. For questions, contact [email protected]. #academicsky
