New manuscript out in the 2022 home stretch! I couldn't afford open access so here's a 50 days open access link. After that you can get the pdf version, not formatted by Elsevier, at my Research Gate page. #microbiology #marinebiology #arctic #benthos

@MfngJulie Thanks so much! I sent all these people emails, so you can remove their emails from twitter for privacy purposes :)

@MfngJulie No problem! Another useful tidbit: Having a Trump Rally on UAA campus likely violates both Alaska statute and UA regent policy. See this: https://t.co/KRE2MAf08l

@MfngJulie Only if you have an active UA email account you can sign your support to a letter opposing the Trump Rally created by UA faculty. Letter : https://t.co/RMN1MFWeGS and signature sheet : https://t.co/cZx8b2Z6B9

Maybe even @netflix could provide access to “Reversing Roe” #RoeVsWade #RoeOverturned #RoeVsWadeOverturned

[alexis walker @infinitesimaLex]

@hbomax @hulu please make “The Janes” and “AKA Jane Roe” free for non-subscribers during this time. It would be an amazing gift of knowledge for those needing it 🙏🏻 #RoeOverturned #RoeVsWadeOverturned

@PatSchloss @subsurface_life If you have more taxa that show potentially significant variation you can also put taxa on one of the axes and color the bars based on treatment. For example here is my bar chart where assemblage type is identified via color.

@Elasmo_Gal @drjuliawester You just described the undergrad marine bio program at UC Santa Cruz. ☺️

@Katiohead I don’t mind but I’ve been trying so hard to get away from using “guys” and it is just so engrained in my brain. I wish my language was more gender-neutral but alas I am the product of a very gendered society.

Schools be like:

Bullying 🤷🏻‍♀️
Racism 🤷🏻‍♀️
Homophobia 🤷🏻‍♀️
Sexual Harassment 🤷🏻‍♀️

Chewing gum 🤬
Wearing Hats 🤬
Shirts showing shoulders 🤬

Feeling this in Fairbanks right now after the publicized racist comments from a local HS teacher. (Tweet modified from inactive tweeter.)

@freya_watkins_ @DisabledStem I never take showers early in the day, only in the afternoon and evening. I’m not really supposed to have caffeine (acid reflux) but I drink green tea anyway.

@wesley_early @CanaItch @newsminer KUAC in Fairbanks is great, which is who originally put it out there. I’m just frustrated about the whole thing, I don’t feel like it’s getting the coverage it deserves. It’s a symptom of a much bigger problem in our district.

[alexis walker @infinitesimaLex]

@wesley_early @CanaItch @newsminer People seem to struggle a lot these days with naming things as they actually are ...

[alexis walker @infinitesimaLex]

@wesley_early @CanaItch @newsminer I imagine it is because a lot of people in Fairbanks and probably elsewhere don’t think that what the teacher said was racist. They’d be incorrect.

[alexis walker @infinitesimaLex]

@wesley_early @CanaItch @newsminer Have you seen the full video?

[alexis walker @infinitesimaLex]

@wesley_early @CanaItch I don’t know but the @newsminer put out an article which is clearly sympathetic towards the teacher 😏

[alexis walker @infinitesimaLex]

This is so true in academia. If I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard a PI say “I had to do it” implying so should you, I’d have running water 😉. Sincerely~an interior Alaskan grad student.

Today we achieved the dream.

Made a function called `missyElliott` that takes a data structure, flips it, and reverses it.

I have ascended.
