@nationalcares we took a shuttle at LAX his morning with a driver named Aaron. He is delightful and made the early morning ride so fun! He was also very familiar with all the gates and offered good suggestions to get passengers to their flights. Y’all need to hang on to him!

The Laboratory Response Network (LRN) is getting a lot of attention right now because they are supporting the monkeypox outbreak in the US. What is the LRN and how did it get started?

Hailey: Tik Tok is having the stupidest debate about whether there are more doors or wheels in the world.

Me: That is stupid. Clearly it’s doors.

Hailey: WHAT. IT’S STUPID BC CLEARLY IT’S WHEELS.

And thus begins an hour long debate. Thanks tik tok.

@dmaccannell Ah to be young and ignorant of your mortality 🤣

@dmaccannell Lost a family member to QAnon. There are no depths to the crazy conspiracy theories. If you try to reason, they just pivot to a newer, crazier one.

Thinking about biological collections lately I'm reminded of the time that somehow at age 4, I got a personal tour of the @UCBerkeley entomology collection (Essig?) from a kind scientist (anybody know who?!). Asked my parents how on earth THAT happened, and it turns out...🤯
