I’ve been all over the country in the last month. And I get asked the same question, over and over again: “I disagree with Kamala’s position on the war in Gaza. How can I vote for her?” Here is my answer:

The BAWM - Bay Area Worm Meeting was a resounding success!! Undergrads, grads postdocs and faculty ftom all over the Bay Area learned about the latest in C. elegans and Ramanei biology. It was a community effort spearheaded by Dr Maria Elena Gallegos Prof Cal State East Bay.
Here we go! BAWM signage huge welcoming orange worm with unrealistic but charming eyes and toothy grin on a freeway billboard size sign, directing to the over one hundred worm scientists to the event parking lots.

The poster session! Worm enthusiast stream along a cement pathway, congregating at posters where they learn and debate. Undergrads, grads and postdocs each had the chance to win a $100 prize (and a priceless mug) for their posters!

@forum The two sewing machine repair shops I went to said my sewing machine was designed as a “throw away”. It was true, we had to use a soldering iron to replace the fuse. But we fixed it! And it’s still working to this day.

Two sewing machine repair shops told me that the motherboard on my computerized sewing machine was toast. So I took the entire thing apart to stare at it’s steam punk beauty just to discover it had only blown a fuse. 😬

Keenan Anderson—a 31-year-old high school teacher & father—stopped LA police for help after an accident. They instead cuffed him, pinned him, & tased him repeatedly as he begged them to stop. Keenan died of cardiac arrest from excessive tasing. His crime—asking police for help.

I spent some time a few weeks ago unchecking ALL my Twitter interests. I swear they are just slowly coming back at random. NASCAR?! NFL?! What even is NHK? Really @Twitter ?!

In this commentary, the ASBMB Maximizing Access Committee urges scientists to consider how they’re perpetuating white supremacy and other forms of hate: “You need not be a neo-Nazi or a Proud Boy to sow the seeds of grievance that grow into genocide.” asbmb.org/asbmb-today/opinio…

My son went to his 8th grade boat dance (how could we say no). Today is 4 days out, he’s feeling unwell but he tests negative after the obligate 15’. A few hours later that same RAT is positive!!! What does this mean?! Is this a foreshadowing?

Exactly this. “Deadlines in a linear subject like mine are essential.” I can’t teach later concepts if the earlier concepts they are born from are not studied, wrestled with, contemplated and hopefully grasped in a timely manner.

Replying to @GaryChapin67
If my students don’t learn Calc. I from me, something bad *will* happen for them in Calc. II and esp., should they make it there, Calc. III. It would be irresponsible of me to send them on. Learn the stuff, get the grade. Deadlines in a linear subject like mine are essential.

Don't track everyone downward and claim a false equity victory. The rich can maneuver around attempts at tracking everyone downward, as they did in San Francisco by paying for extracurricular courses and tutoring. Rather, do the hard work to lift everyone up.
