@Aerin_J @Crepidulatrix I am so sorry for your loss, Aerin ♥️

@indigenousagent Public Myth! I love them. High waisted and great quality. They have good sales so ~$50 Canadian.

@Timothy_D_Clark @FredrikJutfelt @wut_a_hoot @SaraWuitchik maybe you have some insight?

I’m never less productive than when I have an unbelievable amount of work to do, but none of it has yet crossed the threshold of last-minute panic.

@WhySharksMatter I used it when I was presenting very preliminary pop gen results in an endangered species. I didn’t want it shared online before I was confident in the conclusions and any management decisions had been made.

If your #ADHD friend hasn’t been in touch I promise they still love you. They just don’t have object permanence so if something is no longer in front of them their brain loses track of it. Trust me, when you reach out their eyes light up & they are so excited to hear from u!

Until April 21, you can support experiential learning, research, and community outreach in biodiversity for UofC students by donating through Giving Days. Any amount meaningfully impacts our students, and eligible gifts will be matched while funds last. https://t.co/BIJFAd659U

Seeking advice doesn't reveal incompetence. It reflects respect for another person's insight.

Requesting feedback doesn't signal insecurity. It demonstrates that you care more about your learning than your ego.

Asking for help doesn't display weakness. It builds strength.

“I trust my immune system” is such a weird reason not to get the vaccine.

Yeah, I trust mine to protect me too, which is why I gave it a detailed dossier on what the virus looks like so it can handle it.

@SaraWuitchik @RogersLab_UofC Love and miss you!!!

[Brenna Stanford @sendysnail]

@JonMee8 Absolutely! I’m stoked to hear about it!

[Brenna Stanford @sendysnail]

@JonMee8 Are fins a tissue that you’d expect an RNA expression change? (I also realize I have no idea what you’re using this for!). RNAlater is stable at room temp for a week I think but making it cold is never a bad idea!
