I just want to tell you how cool science is. And have fun doing it.

"You are the Leslie Knope of wastewater treatment."

❤️

I have never received a more lovely compliment.

[Kate Nyquist @k8nyquist]

Minnesotans finally getting a nice thing and @KFAN1003 was like, “Actually, nope.”

I cannot.

I AM DEAD. Hooooowwwwwww????!!!

[Cathy Wurzer @CathyWurzer]

Holy crap @KFAN1003!!! I’m listening to the Wolves while driving and at the last critical seconds…the connection goes dead. Bad timing! Yikes!!

[Kate Nyquist @k8nyquist]

NINE SECONDS TO GO AND @KFAN1003 DROPPED?!

[Myron Medcalf @MedcalfByESPN]

They gotta give Naz Reid more than money at this point. Let him have Maple Grove or something. My goodness.

I am back on this godforsaken social platform to be amongst other people who were also @Timberwolves fans in 2012-2018 and could not ever imagine this. #wolves

On your first day of a new job, tell them you’re a huge @phish fan. On the third day, write a 3-paragraph message about how much you love marmots (the family to which a groundhog belongs).

This will ensure that your team takes you seriously as their new supervisor. 🤦‍♀️

The best sentence of this article is, hands down:

"Experts say that if you’re looking to avoid COVID this holiday season, it’s worth wading into the wastewater pool."

Let me tell you, Minnesota, I shared this with my online quilters group and they are ECSTATIC about how easily this can be made into a quilt pattern.

The river / northern lights swooshies was gonna be trouble, so my gratitude to the commission for thinking about the quilters!

[Kate Nyquist @k8nyquist]

I like it!

[Brian Bakst @Stowydad]

Let it fly: Minnesota officially has a new flag https://t.co/iKTjI5HZVi

[Kate Nyquist @k8nyquist]

@amityf A laser loon!

[Kate Nyquist @k8nyquist]

This is the most beautiful candidate for a flag I have seen to date. 😻

@aaronklemz It's so hard to see action to keep nitrate low in private wells labeled "anti-farmer." Many of the folks with affected wells likely ARE farmers.

[Kate Nyquist @k8nyquist]

Me: I've got an important call this morning!

My pets:

😂😭

[Kate Nyquist @k8nyquist]

I've never related to another new parent more. 😂

[Kate Nyquist @k8nyquist]

I'm not sure it could get much better than working for @melissakenney and with the @UMNIonE research team. If you've got project mgmt chops & think the planet might be worth saving, apply!

And, this team is known to instigate a lot of opportunities for cake! 🎂

[Institute on the Environment UMN @UMNIonE]

IonE is #UMNProud of the University of Minnesota’s #COP28 delegation – composed of over a dozen interdisciplinary staff, faculty, and students who will be in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, for the next two weeks as the annual climate negotiations begin!

When an undergraduate student says, "You're a remarkably good public speaker-- thank you."

[Kate Nyquist @k8nyquist]

For the record, I am:

1) Grateful for the hundreds of artists who volunteered their talents for this, and

2) Selfishly, only interested in designs that are easily adapted to a quilt pattern that will not require me to sew curves.

[Kate Nyquist @k8nyquist]

This year, if you really want to cause some family drama at Thanksgiving just ask everyone about their pick for the new Minnesota flag.

[Alex Derosier @xanderosier]

Final 6 new MN for anyone who missed it. They’re going to seek public comment now.
