@OpenPike And you’ve now doubly made mine ❤️

[Laura K. Baumgartner @lkbaumgartner]

Ok. I have been avoiding this app for all the reasons. But I am halfway through this podcast and if you are a Star Trek fan OR have “left academia” (and felt bad for disappearing as a mentor)….this gave me all the feels. Thank you @drerinmac!! https://t.co/GctCs5rbvD

[Laura K. Baumgartner @lkbaumgartner]

@OpenPike @drerinmac Very much!! Also glad I found y’all via Mellissa Navia’s episode. Thanks for the commuting joy!

I wish I could edit: forgot to also thank the awesome folks at @OpenPike

@KristaLerista @lmillernpr This! Worm (cylindrical body shape) shows up all over the place. Fish, reptiles, amphibians, so many actual worms, and if you’re feeling generous, ferrets and dachshunds!

@katiemattaini And no I didn’t read the thread first I also stink at staying on top of labs

[Laura K. Baumgartner @lkbaumgartner]

@katiemattaini Don’t teach labs?

[Laura K. Baumgartner @lkbaumgartner]

@joshua_r_eyler All probably shaped my non-trad grading approach today

[Laura K. Baumgartner @lkbaumgartner]

@joshua_r_eyler I worked with someone who would plot the grades and look for clusters. Top cluster was an A, and so on. My chem profs just calculated the average, subtracted that from 70-something, and added that many points to everyone
