I've started picking my teas by whichever falls on my head when I open the cabinet, which is probably a sign I have too much tea...

Hey @TillamookDairy, I think you forgot something… #nocookiesforyou

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...🤯

Summary of my writing progress today: “I thought people used Twitter to do a thing. Twitter users think they’re also doing the thing. But the tweets they send are actually doing another thing, and nobody reads any of them anyway. Also MC Hammer.” I’m getting a PhD for this? 🤷‍♀️

The Polish historian & political scientist Jerzy Targalski remained completely unruffled during our interview when this happened👇🤨🤷‍♂️

I feel seen.
(Thanks for reminding me how precisely you’re tracking me, Twitter…)

Happy first Saturnian birthday to me! And for the best birthday present, I start a 10wk internship with the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum today! https://t.co/1FkxyeI7e7

Shiny new technology mostly just means my office is as chaotic and messy as ever - but now it's all visible in ultra high def!!!

After two weeks without a computer I’ve never been so happy to see a screen full of work to do.

My three front “doors” - the squeaky gate that serves as a doorbell, the security door left by the previous snowbird owners, and the front door with Portuguese tile and a horseshoe from Culla the Arabian mutt-horse, now happily retired. #walkmyworld

@DoesItARM Do you all know about MAXQDA? Their website says Rosetta compatibility with ARM coming later, I think.

Procrastinating on finishing this paper so hard that I’m voluntarily filing my taxes instead.

For my Bio & Biochem friends I made this tangible model of a phospholip bilayer #amphipathic molecules. It also includes a Y-shaped protein embedded within. This can be manipulated with a strong magnet showing the membrane's fluidity & flexibility. #Fluidmosaicmodel #RealTimeChem

I just mixed up the 'video' and 'mute' buttons while telling my dog to stop licking her ass in a recorded research interview. Awesome.

Reminder that solar panels use light, not heat, to produce energy. Similarly, wind turbines use the motion, not the temperature of the air, to turn their blades. Texas has no power because of mismanaged power grids and corruption, not frozen turbines.
