Rejecting a paper because the results don't fit nicely into what you would have expected is not how science is supposed to work. Those are the results. We can't change them. The methods were solid. This leads to bias in the scientific message that ends up getting published!

[Dr. Faiola @FaiolaLabUCI]

@dm_parker Yes, thank you. I've worked with teens a lot. At least you can talk to them and they are not constantly biting you and pulling your hair. Very helpful though 👍

[Dr. Faiola @FaiolaLabUCI]

Nobody told me the "terrible twos" meant a constant onslaught of biting, pulling hair, screaming, pinching, eye gouging, more biting, hitting, shrieking, scratching, and having food/toys/dishes thrown at you. Please tell me this ends. I need to hear this ends...

[Dr. Faiola @FaiolaLabUCI]

@gpk320 I've worked with teenagers a lot. Including parental, advocacy, and educational roles. I've never felt physically beat up by them. I know the challenges shift. I find those teenager challenges much easier to deal with than being physically assaulted by a tiny human.

[Dr. Faiola @FaiolaLabUCI]

@gpk320 I don't have to wait until college, right? That's a long haul... 😂

Check out these videos made by students in my undergraduate chemical ecology course! So many amazing ways that organisms use chemical signals to interact with the world around them.@UCIBioSci @UCIEEB @UCIChemistry

The story continues: We invite you to read and comment on our new #OpenAccess paper on the phase behavior of internal mixtures of different types of secondary organic #aerosol.

A message from UC president Michael V. Drake about today’s SCOTUS decision.

[Planned Parenthood Action @PPact]

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has taken away our right to abortion and overturned Roe v. Wade, opening the floodgates for states across the country to ban abortion.

The court has failed us all — but this is far from over. ⤵

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

From the dissent:
"As of today, this Court holds, a State can always force a woman to give birth, prohibiting even the earliest abortions. A State can thus transform what, when freely undertaken, is a wonder into what, when forced, may be a nightmare. "

This is hilarious. My @cricketphonesc was stolen today. I'm trying to sign on to my account to order another, but I need my phone to sign onto the account (because I don't know the password). I contact customer support...they can't help because I need my phone! WTAF. Ridiculous.

Y’all the lady @FairfieldHotels just called the police on me because I’ve been here for a week and they haven’t cleaned my room. I’ve asked everyday and they never came. I went to ask again and she said I was aggressive. Please pray I don’t die. Can anyone @MarriottBonvoy help 🥺

@AkAstronomy Sugar?

@cgl_119 This physically hurts me 😫

[Dr. Faiola @FaiolaLabUCI]

The most painful thing to an analytical chemist is to see numbers like 15.32485698342 on reports and graphs. Those are some serious sig figs. Must have been a REALLY expensive instrument...

9-yr-old son: It’s called WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS. It’s about this boy and his two red dogs. It’s a fun story! I have two chapters left. Don’t tell me how it ends!

New article, "Unpacking Sites and Cultures of Methodological Animosity: Teaching Qualitative Research in Spaces that are Hostile to Qualitative Researchers" in the Journal of Education and Culture Studies!(https://t.co/FmBg0VQ4GK).
It is open access & may even have a meme or two

So, look: I don’t want to hear Republicans talking about how much they love mothers today unless they’re going to do something—anything—to value mothers tomorrow.

The answer to the question...if it is airborne, why doesn't everyone in a room get infected every time when with an infectious individual?

[Dr. Faiola @FaiolaLabUCI]

@CapricePhillips So I like to give them flexibility to plan vacation when it makes sense for their schedule, research, hobbies, etc (big ski trip your jam? Great! Take a winter holiday!!)

[Dr. Faiola @FaiolaLabUCI]

@CapricePhillips My lab guidelines say I expect students to take 3-4 weeks off each year and they need to inform me ahead of time (at least a month warning is preferable) so we can coordinate research activities accordingly. Summers aren't always the best time for students with summer fieldwork.
