Jane Goodall was not only a pioneering primatologist, she also campaigned more relentlessly and selflessly for the natural world than anyone I know. A great soul if ever there was one www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

I know I’m preaching to the choir on this but I am trying to get a issue with Delta sorted and the quality difference in experience when they move me from a chatbot to a human is WILD

My child: I don’t want to hear this song again. Can we listen to the pump thing? Me: What pump thing? Child: The one about the pump…in London Me: The lecture about the Broad Street Pump?? Child: Yeah. Sure, why not?

Figured as long as I’m getting myself a little treat, I’ll treat my laptop to being turned off for the first time in six weeks

You’ll be trucking along and saying “ok I’m fine” and then your best friend flies across the country to surprise you, and you cry three times

I never thought I’d say it but truly folks do not have any compassion for my poor nerves

As an elder Millennial woman, I’m sure on a roller coaster ride with this best actor in a drama race

A few questions about Brett Kavanaugh: nymag.com/intelligence...

Devastated to report that the annoying and tedious task of buttering and flouring your mini muffin baking pans will in fact yield mini muffins that easily come out and don’t disintegrate

A million years ago a person on the other place referenced a website or google doc that was a list of eating disordered focused psych internship sites? Does anyone know if this was a fever dream of mine or does it exist?

The Great Lakes are warming much faster and more than the atmosphere. Not a good thing for many fish species. planetdetroit.org/2025/09/grea...

This 🧵 is long so please bear with me. It is compiles evidence in a historical timeline on how effective #COVIDVaccines are. When a pandemic ends we quickly and easily forget the tools that got us out of it. So here is my labour day gift to you prompted by this headline.

My work computer is onto me

Nothing surprises me more than when I enter my password correctly on the first attempt

London: if ambiguous rain signs were a city

I found a non-exhausted list of Indigenous radio stations that you can donate to in order to keep them afloat after the defunding If anyone has a better list, please let me know, and I will happily repost it (I couldn't find anything on here)

If I send this to you, I’ve been pointing out awkward dynamics in faculty meetings

Every episode we watch of Stick, Daniel says it isn’t as good as the first two episodes, and I explain it’s because there’s not enough Judy Greer.

If you need a distraction, help me with a meaningless (or is it??) task. We are at the point of the summer where it is clear certain objectives will not be met. I do refuse to give up on one: Meme. Vision. Board. So please send me your favorite memes. Relatable memes. Aspirational memes. All memes.

Think I’m going to be done with email for the day

It is wild (complementary) whenever I go to a city where old parents (like me) are entirely common. We were at a playground in Denver today and I swear, 90% of those parents had Jagged Little Pill come out during their formative years.

There are no red states, no blue states, only purple, from Idaho fuchsia to Vermont violet. And in every state there are children, non-citizens, and prisoners who can't vote. In every state where one candidate won, a bunch of people voted for the other candidate. And so forth.

Measles cases surge to record high since disease was declared eliminated in the US www.cnn.com/2025/07/05/h...

My neighbors: setting off fireworks Me, screaming into the night: Read the goddamn room

And then there's this nonsense. WE CANNOT SUBSTITUTE ANIMAL TRIALS WITH AI. We don't even know some of the basics of the immune system bc it's so fricking complicated. AI is based on what we know. Man, I was happier on the plane without wifi. Utter nonsense.

Me (a former resident of both Michigan and Chicago): Where does that person hauling a boat think they’re going? My husband: You do realize that landlocked states also have lakes? Me: They think they do. My husband: It’s not Great Lakes or nothing Me: For me, it is

No one has created a Miranda Priestly soundboard? This feels incorrect, please send guidance.

The UK is talking about eliminating cervical cancer by 2040. The results coming out of Scotland’s HPV vaccine programming are the dream of prevention science—an outcome you don’t see because the number of cases is 0. Meanwhile…

Publishers don’t pay for nonfiction books to be fact-checked, the author does out of their advance.

Wise of one of my students to reference both The Real World and Sex and the City in their discussion post. Know your audience indeed.

I'm going to say once again that shame is good.

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

Floridas’s child-welfare agency — in a reversal of a 30-year policy — is now willing to turn minors over to ICE. This 17-year-old was taken from his foster home in handcuffs and shackles. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

Now more than ever, it is absolutely essential that we practice the skills necessary for recognizing propaganda when we see it. The best way to practice that is by learning how to ask questions of a piece of media you encounter. Media and source literacy are some of our most crucial requirements rn

Ah yes, nothing says “we’re fighting chronic disease” like abolishing the CDC’s chronic disease center. $14B to fix the problem… but not the team that’s been working on it for decades. zurl.co/Dl3TN #StandUpForScience #ChronicDisease #PublicHealthMatters

A depressingly common response whenever nature collapse is highlighted. It's as if it somehow doesn't matter that: * Vast numbers of species that took millions of years to evolve get driven to extinction * Planet Earth will have no complex ecosystems for millions of years * Everyone will be dead

Fabulous thread that later asks us to be more transparent about our values in science and the practical nature of our values and goals.

Pleased to report that we are 3 for 3 on health psych classes loving the Maintenance Phase ep on anti-fat bias and I should probably send @michaelhobbes.bsky.social and @yrfatfriend.bsky.social a guest lecturer honorarium or a thank you card at the least

Two separate people causally mentioned they were going to Chicago and Minneapolis in the next week and I activated like an upper Midwest in the summer sleeper agent

I went to a brewery that had a child’s space with toys and was playing both Bob Ross and Anthony Bourdain (No Reservations), and it was like the millennial mother ship was calling me home

Happy World Otter Day! Today is all about raising awareness and supporting the conservation of the 13 different species of otters around the world. We’re sea-lebrating by sharing some of our favorite things about our iconic southern sea otters!

“Guided readings” are the “I love hiking” of training grant applications

when trump and co say they're seizing control of research because of the reproducibility crisis, it's pretty similar to when they say they're enacting trans bathroom bans and sports bans because of violence and discrimination against women.
