@megankatenelson @akiltykramer I worked in Las Cruces for a while and there are good trails in and around the Organ Mountains (at least for hiking I didn't bike). Also a short drive to other locations like the Guadalupe Mountains and White Sands.

@katebcarp And if the absence of the type of literature you wish to see strikes you, just means your work has more room to shine.

[Christopher MacMahon, Ph.D. @cmmacmahon]

@katebcarp Check out "The Health of the Country" by Valencius. I think you will find the AmWest/Hist of Sci blend you're seeking.

@hangryhistorian Congrats!

The Nevada State Museum Las Vegas is accepting applicants for Curator of Learning and Community Engagement. https://t.co/2IjWDweaRz

@JustinGage Consider William Cronon's "The Trouble with Wilderness." Brings an environmental history perspective while allowing you to discuss how different types of literary sources can effectively support one's project.

[Christopher MacMahon, Ph.D. @cmmacmahon]

@JustinGage Are you looking for suggestions on the practicum side or the theme of frontiers?

humanities degrees can lead to analysis paralysis and stem degrees can lead to a reductive solutionist perspective. but I have never heard anyone from humanities question the need for stem to exist. it's a problem that so many consider humanities an indulgence and not a necessity

[Christopher MacMahon, Ph.D. @cmmacmahon]

@victorygrower @ai6yrham Yeah but moving it will cost 10s of thousands of dollars.

As a lifelong @Padres fan, I am thoroughly revelling in this moment, especially since it came by beating LA!

This is fantastic!

So, @TheOnion filed an amicus brief before the Supreme Court in defense of parody under the First Amendment… and it’s exactly what you’d expect. https://t.co/1JFfSqUJFA

Launched our Train of Terror this weekend at @nsrmbc and having a blast!

[Christopher MacMahon, Ph.D. @cmmacmahon]

@BrendenWRensink Busier than what I thought it would be, but largely concentrated along the rim.

[Christopher MacMahon, Ph.D. @cmmacmahon]

Left Bryce Canyon after a little weekend getaway and it was 32°. Got back to Vegas and it's currently 100°. Waiting for that September cool down everyone keeps saying is coming.

[Christopher MacMahon, Ph.D. @cmmacmahon]

@TheTattooedProf We have a pair of bat dogs here in Vegas. I'm pretty sure they get bigger applause than the team.

[Christopher MacMahon, Ph.D. @cmmacmahon]

This is going to be fun!

[Nevada State Railroad Museum Boulder City @nsrmbc]

Tickets on sale soon.

@BrendenWRensink I feel pipe smoking and the darning of socks are missing from this description, but otherwise spot on.
