It’s the end of the year. You know what that means.

Tweeting me your Annual performance reviews for your pets.

Did they meet expectations, exceed expectations or fail to meet expectations?

Please leave a picture of your non-human resource below with their performance review.

Absolutely honored to be named one of the @PODNetworkHQ 2023 Wulff Diversity Fellows. The fellowship is especially meaningful to me, and I look forward to the work we are going to do together over the next year. #DEI #highereducation @ISLT_FSU

Sunday, from a Vancouver hotel room, I submitted my dissertation. Moments before, on TV in the background, a Canadian reporter showed #Pulse footage, in relation to the #ClubQ tragedy. An odd feeling -here, years later- as I read my dedication page before clicking submit. #LGBTQ

[Dr. Melissa K. Jones @MellaKJones]

Thank you, #POD21, for an amazing conference & awards ceremony. I share this honor with several others (p. 2 of 3!) who are doing absolutely brilliant work, so I am very grateful for this recognition. I loved today's closing sentiment: " With this group, expect generosity."
