All the produce is so good right now. That’s grilled corn with honey chili crisp butter, mango, sugar kiss melon, green beans with lemon zest/ olive oil/flaky salt, and a tomato/avocado/muenster cheese sandwich

My husband is at a bachelor party in Miami Beach, where he is on a rental boat for the day. Meanwhile, I’m solo parenting the 3 girls and 2 dogs. I deserve a treat for the current disparity in fun levels, right?

Ok Rooster was cringe, but DTF St. Louis is SO GOOD!

A rare occasion in which I’m ditching my children (on a school night!) to go out to a semi-fancy dinner with interesting people* *tagging along to a work event with @jkresovich.bsky.social and hoping I can get away with not paying for my meal 😉

Busted my ass since Thursday to finish grading after the Canvas debacle. Posted final grades this morning, 14 hours before they’re officially due. IMMEDIATELY received emails from two students who were 0.3 percentage points below the threshold for an A “cAn YoU pLeAsE rOuNd Up?” JFC 🤦🏻‍♀️

Throw sh*t in a bowl and call it dinner

Do they make whole body ice packs or do I need to invest in one of those tanks

This canvas shit is horrible and I’m so tired. RIP my inbox ☠️☠️☠️☠️

So canvas is back up but Honorlock is not And I for one hate Honorlock and am tempted to just turn it off but wooooof some more guidance would be nice My poor students are frantic

lol this canvas outage and the barrage of emails is really not helping my chronic tension headaches

Apparently canvas was hacked. My 200+ student undergrad class has a final due today at 11:59 pm Cue the frantic emails 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

The end of the semester has me STRESSED. But look at my cute 1st grader and her school project!!! She is a florist and is supposed to “sell” her flowers at a market

Yellow curry “meat”balls with green beans, rice, and a mango pepper salad 😋

“My” PhD student (hate that phrasing but 🤷‍♀️) just got a 10th percentile score on her F31 and I’m tearing up I’m so proud 🥹

Made this, fully expecting my children to not eat it: cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1025... Instead, my 4yo exclaimed “I’ve never had orange beans before and they are DELICIOUS!!!”

Wore linen drawstring pants to work today… Professional looking, but feel like pajamas. Very into it.

Working from home today and heard the most terrifying noise…like a loud, static-y, alien invasion? Then it happened again…and again… Finally I realized my kids left their walkie talkie on. Phew!!

Tonight’s dinner (I’m parenting solo rn so extra proud that I made this happen): 🥬 Kale salad with toasted breadcrumbs, parm, golden raisins, and shallot vinaigrette 🥦🧀 Fettucine Alfredo with roasted broccoli 🍓Strawberry rhubarb pie with whipped cream

Bright spot of my day: putting together a little merch for an incoming PhD student who will be visiting campus tomorrow

Just gonna say it: Integrated Learning Experiences are terrible for faculty (and probably not helpful to students) and I don't understand why they are required by CEPH.

I went ham on revising my syllabus for next semester in response to the annoying BS some of my online students like to pull..... too bad none of them will read it 😭

Made these sushi nachos on a total whim and OMG they’re amazing

had a guest speaker lecture in my class and we had to pause 6 times b/c of bomb threat alerts...😭 i think all is fine? but damn lol

In theory, one aspect of my job that I really like is that nothing is truly urgent. It’s not like I’m a healthcare provider responsible for people’s lives... Which is why few things piss me off more than manufactured crises that become my problem after hours / on weekends when I’m with my family.

In case anyone’s wondering, the viral blanket dumplings taste great with impossible meat I had trouble getting the wonton wrappers to stick to the meatballs but taste-wise this 10/10

Have you ever made a “pizza” (using that term loosely) using garlic naan as a base topped with bbq sauce and smoked cheddar? The sum is much greater than its parts

A high schooler emailed me (really @jkresovich.bsky.social) because he found our R21 on NIH Reporter and thought it sounded cool 🥺

Last night I dreamt I opened a vegetarian restaurant called “Bean Bitch” that served (you guessed it!) dishes made of beans. Honestly it’s…not a bad idea

Do any of y'all offer incoming PhD students any type of relocation assistance? I would like to be able to do this, but am anticipating institutional roadblocks...

gosh i loooooove talking to scientists in other disciplines so much. like the hydrologists and geologists are all so freaking nice!!!

My veggie sandwich may look humble but it’s soo good. Swiss, cheddar, mayo, French dressing, drizzle of honey, salt and pep, tomato, lettuce, black olives, red onion, cucumber, banana peppers, and sprouts.

I’m sorry to report that the new Girl Scouts cookie flavor is trash

My colleagues and students are so sweet- I got multiple emails offering prayers and best wishes for my daughter’s surgery last week. I know I bitch a lot on here but I really do feel very grateful for my job and network 💕

Stylish girl

Not me yelling “everybody leave me alone!!!” as I scurry into my bedroom, lock the door, and shove a mini ice cream cone down my gullet

Made my fam spaghetti and garlic bread for dinner. Husband: wow, this is delicious 4yo: it smells like diapers

Not funny, but also pretty damn funny: I did not expect my kid to look significantly sicker post-surgery than she actually is. More than a few people have quietly assumed she’s terminal, and I’m one awkward interaction away from hanging a sign around her neck that says, “I’m fine!!!”

Still here. Girly was grumpy all day until the sweetest music therapist showed up with a guitar and maracas to sing her songs and now she’s happy as a clam. The nurse also brought a play mat and toys for the room. I wish I could be a patient here lol

Spending the day at the children’s hospital for one of my kiddos (she’s ok) and wow they have really thought of everything. The waiting room has outlets and snacks, books, and board games. The doctors are texting updates every hour. It’s so sweet

I know people have a lot of feelings about Geese/Cameron Winter...but what I want to know is how the f a 23yo wrote this? www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4UF...

Lolllll y’all. We are cooked. Time to go back to blue books and abolish online only classes (but of course that’s not profitable 🤑) companion.ai/einstein

I'm listening to the 10 Things I Hate About You soundtrack...and loving it :) Also, who remembers Sister Hazel? I had totally forgotten about them

all those stupid required IT 'trainings' need to go. like just let me take the quiz and if I fail, THEN give me access to the videos/slides. i don't have time to click through all this nonsense just to get access to platforms i need to do my job

Our dog door broke so I emailed the company to ask about a replacement part. An actual human responded to me and agreed to send out the piece to fix it and gave me suggestions on how to prevent it from breaking again. What is this, the 1990s???

Once again, I want to voice that I hate Valentine’s Day and all the stupid shit my kids come home with. Can parents all agree to do only paper cards or stickers??? Kid 1 crying because kid 2 came home with a balloon and kid 3 crying because they want the candy that kid 1 has makes me 🤦🏻‍♀️

Can't tell if I'm dealing with burnout or what, but I am feeling 100% uninspired. Anyone else?

Did I understand the lyrics? No but it was beautiful!!! Such cool sets, such passion. Loved it

Extreeeeemely niche, but are there any other scientists out there researching the Gulf coast? I referred to it as the "Gulf of America (formerly known as the Gulf of Mexico)" in a manuscript and a Reviewer is now asking if that's an "officially accepted term." Thoughts on how to respond?

obviously there's more important stuff going on *waves hands* but i have students *CALLING* my office phone number to complain about their grades and i've never hated my job more 🤦‍♀️ like sorry i made an assignment that you couldn't chatgpt your way through?? sorry epi is hard?

CaN i ReTaKe tHe QuIz bEcAuSe I dOn'T LiKe my GrAdE???
