@sarahajeel @JMTsuji It would give everyone a strong enough foundation so that TAs could focus more on the lab work itself. [though I agree that complaining about students is practically a national pastime of TAs ;)]

[Laura Sauder @LauraASauder]

@sarahajeel @JMTsuji I always tried to give useful feedback, but I also think it's foolish for schools to rely on TAs to teach scientific writing. There's so much variability in TAs (some are 2nd/3rd year undergrads). I feel like a science program should just have a required scientific writing course

Sad to see that @biopop is closed for business, but luckily I found some bioluminescent algae from @CarolinaBio. Can't wait to see them glow!

@tstou10 @PlymouthState @WhiteMountainNF Very cool! I am thinking about coming up from Boston to do one of these (not tomorrow, but later in the summer). Do you have to book a spot or just show up?

@AmandaOVeri @DairyQueen @gkelly I have to admit, I am now curious about what other science-themed cakes they can do...

[Laura Sauder @LauraASauder]

@sarahajeel It was custom. But we just asked for a mushroom cake and DQ took it from there. I was pleasantly surprised :)

[Laura Sauder @LauraASauder]

So impressed by the mushroom varieties on this ice cream cake by @DairyQueen 🍄🎂 (happy birthday @gkelly !)

@deray28 My boyfriend is fascinated by uranium glass too! This one is out of my grandma's basement... but yeah, I definitely will not be storing any food in it :)

[Laura Sauder @LauraASauder]

@deray28 It's quite high for a household item. 5 uSv/h = "Elevated risk. Relocate as soon as possible. 10 uSv/h = "Danger. Relocate now". But it still pales in comparison to taking a flight or getting a dental x-ray

[Laura Sauder @LauraASauder]

And the Geiger counter got up to 8 uSv/hour 🔥☢️

@mdopinheiro yikes. I live in a condo, and it's a strict manure-free zone ;)

[Laura Sauder @LauraASauder]

@mdopinheiro Lol. Nothing too outrageous, just hardwood sawdust and commercial fertilizer for nitrogen ;)
