There's a Pelikan M600 and M800 that are screaming my name. My wallet is also screaming for restraint. I'm debating who is louder 🙀 #fountainpens #fountainpenday #pelikan

Happy FP Day to those who celebrate!🥳 #FountainPen

Absolutely fascinating thread #academicsky #science #bacteria

Truth bomb!

Well done articles with amazing graphics. #academicsky #birds #migrationpatterns

Spending Sunday night grading. Currently, I hate the version of me that added this last problem to just "see how they'll handle it." Anyone else spending Sunday evening with a red pen in hand? At least I have a nice fountain pen for grading. #academicsky #teaching #redpen #grading

Powerful analysis of the cost of stopping research. Not to mention the absolute stupidity. #scisky #research #academicsky

The problem isn’t just getting people to think scientifically. It’s getting them to want to…

We aren't in a time of history known to act on good science. Good article #science #academicsky #microplastics

Very cool science!! I'd never heard of a bottlebrush polymer before...... #medsky #academicsky #science #chemotherapy

Of all the nonsense that our unqualified HHS secretary has said, this is near the top. Well delivered response!! #science #autism www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8SdnCoq/

This is the kind of science that we need to focus on for sustainability. And fund!! #academicsky #science #sustainability

I've been doing this long enough to see this downturn. It always shocks me when someone expresses serious science skepticism. Rebuilding confidence will be a huge job. #academicsky #scicomm #science

I know I'm preaching to the choir here. How do we get across to them that their opinions are NOT more valid than the facts?? #Vaccines #VaccinesSaveLives #Vaccinate

"An all-female team of scientists devoted to preserving and expanding Brazil’s national meteorite collection...journey to far-flung regions to recover fallen space rocks and educate local communities about their scientific significance." #academicsky #womeninSTEM www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/s...

Braves are hitting tonight!! What a 9th! #AtlantaBraves #Braves

Very good news indeed. #scisky #science #bees

Holding this poem close today. Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all,

New level of hell unlocked: Loaner computer takes 90 sec to load a page. Now big deal, right? Except classes start in one week!! Im stuck cleaning my office and eagerly waiting the call that my new computer is ready... #academicsky

Something to think about. But the media message is to blame the person who likely makes less than you and had to work harder than you to get to where they are.

Incredible footing from inside the eye of Hurricane Erin #HurricaneErin

Well, lookie here...Wonder if RFK Jr can read and comprehend this! #VaccinesSaveLives

I've studied machine learning all summer! This is so cool. #MachineLearning #DrugDesign

Oh, Atlanta Braves, will you break my heart tonight? #AtlantaBraves

Bingo!

Homelessness is a policy failure, not a personal one.

mRNA tech is some of the coolest, most powerful, most promising scifi shit humans are currently doing. They are being investigated to help with cancers, autoimmune diseases, M.S., stroke recovery, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and high cholesterol.

So very true!

🔪🔪🔪 No jury would convict me!

August 1st....the saddest day of the year in academia. Time to look at my summer to-do list and start jettisoning my summer dreams.😥 #academicsky

There is literally NOTHING in the U.S. economy that is as good or better than it was eight months ago. NOT ONE THING! Everything is worse, most especially inflation.

Reality isn’t partisan — it’s just inconvenient.

This is a great opportunity to bring scicomm training into a program! 🧪😀

This administration is systematically and rapidly dismantling science research. We have a bleak future! #academicsky #scisky #science #research #climate

Keep in mind that the cuts to Medicaid don’t go into effect until late 2026 conveniently after the midterm elections. Do not be fooled. Vote these ghouls out. Show up and VOTE in the midterms.

Academic choices: 1. Finish the tedious part of the last project with a looming deadline. or 2. Do the fun, new, intellectually stimulating new project. I know WHAT I should choose. But, I woke up thinking about the other one. #academicsky #choices

Exactly! #science #academicsky #medsky

Question we should all be asking our senators and representatives

"He began, he said, with an “unwavering belief that science can solve the most difficult problems.” #medsky #academicsky #research #science

Great analogy! I'm using this one in the fall.

Juneteenth calls us to understand the realities of our past, celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and align the course of our country toward its founding creed of liberty and justice for all. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!

Basic researching vital to civilization! Medicine, agriculture, ecology, aerospace...you name it. Science changes lives.

Pretty much summarizes the week of news.😥

This is just one example of how our best scientists are being recruited away. Young scientists are seeing a grim future. The incoming grad school class has been decimated. Trump and Project 2025 are destroying science. #academicsky #scisky #sciencesky #research
