The more I teach, the less I understand profs with punitive, strict late work policies. There's so little we can do to help students who are in mental health crisis or experiencing trauma -- giving them a little grace with coursework feels like the bare minimum.

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...🤯

bowled over to have a poem in the new @kenyonreview, about Ohio and failed memory:

[Devon Price @drdevonprice]

it's such irresponsible science (and statistics) to make claims like "eating a single mcrib takes 2 years off your life" and it really distresses me how many people take such claims completely literally
