I have not widely publicized that I left the lab I originally joined at CU Anschutz in May of this year. It was a very challenging decision, but ultimately the best one I could make. I joined my current lab in mid-September, and I love it. 1/7

I would give my right arm to see this bird (not actually, I need my right arm to hold my binoculars)
One of the best things about Oklahoma is the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher. It’s pretty easy to find them in the summer. The Latin name is Tyrannus forficatus, which means “hard to crop.” #birding #science

“If a homeless man makes me uncomfortable, the sentence is death” is the kind of argument I think people should be embarrassed to make in public

We lost a generation of LGBT+ folk to the AIDS crisis. We lost a generation of LGBT+ folk to Section 28. That’s why LGBT+ folk and our allies will not allow another generation of LGBT+ folk to be lost to an anti-trans culture war. Our lives are worth more than your ignorance.

All knowledge (science) is culturally-situated. Western-trained scientists who ignore this in favor of imperialism and a false sense of objectivity are at risk of misinterpreting data and causing harm. This rhetoric is embarrassing, so inaccurate as to be absurdist, and harmful

Sometimes I open my academic twitter, read a few tweets, and regret opening my academic twitter.

I desire dosa daily and denver disappoints, a memoir by me
I’m starting my quest for best west coast dosa. Who’s got recs? SF or east bay to start. First attempt, not a disaster 😋

ooh don't read this article if you don't want to spend your entire day angry
'a biologist who once generated Nobel Prize buzz, is hoping for a comeback after he was abruptly ousted amid allegations of sexual harassment. The case remains one of the most polarizing of its kind in science, and raises hard questions' @BostonGlobe apps.bostonglobe.com/metro/i…

It really pisses me off when grad programs & fellowships want diversity statements from my students, asking how their minoritized status will “contribute” to the program. UH, better question, what are you going to do for my students?

Big congratulations to academia for using “DEI efforts” to virtue signal while making absolutely no real progress!

Is this.... a joke? This is satire, right? Because I cannot wrap my head around comparing these two situations with sincerity.

Happy Monday! Time is meaningless!
Hey Anschutz, what IF, instead of sending us emails on how to eat healthy on a budget, you paid us more? What a concept.
