Little known fact, it also only blooms while you’re on vacation.
The Queen of Night (Epiphyllum oxypetalum) blooms just once a year at night and only for a few hours.

CANNOT believe I am at #SAA2025 and missed this.
It was an honor and a privilege to be in this session for this moment. My only regret is that it wasn't me presenting this. Sophie Miller, you're a hero. #SAA2025 #SAA #SAA25 #Cattanglement

🙌Advances is stepping it up in the world of research transparency in publishing!

OK I was wrong, *this* is how you do a graphical Abstract.
Guess this paper (my undergraduate research) pre-dates this site so I've never shared the little comic abstract I made for Twitter here.

Wasn't easy figuring out how I'd explain a six-hypothesis framework in one image!

2. Your initial major?
3. If you changed majors, what did you change to?
4. What do you do now?

1. Not being a teacher at a gymnasium
2. Mesoamerican lx and cultures
3. Linguistic Anthropology
4. Sparkling Postdoc
1. I had no career goals when I went to college, vague ideas about being a failed writer
2. Theater/literature
3. Anthropology
4. I'm a professor of linguistic anthropology and work with Navajo poets
