The worst part about leaving #CellBio24 tomorrow is the knowledge that the low in San Diego is 9°F higher than the high at home. I'll miss my mornings on the hotel balcony.

Great roundtable discussion about what DEI means in a research space at #CellBio24

Got a lot of great perspectives and learned a lot. So glad @ascbiology.bsky.social facilitates these kind of discussions.

They're just bending the knee. Great.

Spent the $40 on a seat upgrade because I'm worth it. JK it's because they're low on overhead bin space and I want to get on earlier so I don't have to check a bag.

Something from the heart, something special.

Ariel, the little mermaid, is standing accepting a gift from Prince Eric. She is surprised. Prince Eric's face has been modified to make it appear as though he is a member of the music group "The Lonely Island" in the music video for the song "Dick in a Box"

The picture heavily insinuates that Prince Eric has cut a hole in the box and has placed his flaccid penis in the box for Ariel to view.

Day two of norovirus (or something similar) and I'm ready for the grave, please. Thanks.

Tonight's movie is Subservience. Or as my wife put it "90 minutes of watching Megan Fox clean house."

This may be the busiest my house has ever been. We got Amazon, we got USPS, we got UPS, we got FedEx, we got the heater guys. Thomas is overwhelmed. Poor buddy.

Once more with feeling (and some rephrasing)

From today around 5 hours ago Altmetric can detect links that go to research items in the Alt Text field of the image if you include one.

It is not advisable practise to place links inside Alt-Text, as screen readers tend to read them out and they can't be clicked. However, some Bluesky users do place links to research within the Alt-Text, usually right at the end, so the descriptive elements of the image have been read out before these show up.

If you do include a link at the end of the description of an image within your Bluesky post, Altmetric will find it. But, in line with the Accessibility guidelines, limit your links so images are usable by those of limited or no vision, and put them at the end.

Stayed home sick with the tummy troubles (probably too many takis???) and the heater repair guys showed up while I was on the can. Now my dog is picking up on my paranoia that they're going to murder me.

He. Won't. Stop. Grumblin'.

Thomas is a good boy.

A very good, copper colored dog sits, vigilant.

The old invent new fees for your captive audience trick. Why mess with the classics? The shareholders love it!
