I'm going to buy some of these but shipping is expensive. If you're also in the UK and would like an eel, frog, or crab fact advent calendar for $25 (to a good cause) plus an even split of the international postage and the price of a UK stamp and rigid envelope, let me know before the end of August.
Last year we sold 5x more advent calendars than we have this August. Advent calendars are the biggest thing that keep the lights on at Skype a Scientist so this makes me a bit nervous!
These calendars are bright and cute and are full of really fun information about eels!

Those of us in STEM must vocally affirm that the humanities are our allies, and no department is expendable. Arguing we can survive by cutting whole disciplines isn’t just inhumane, it’s nonsensical. The humanities tell us why we’re here in the first place, and what to do about it! This isn’t hard!
Oh good. We've reached the "I don't have to be faster than the bear, I only have to be less woke than you" stage of faculty solidarity. archive.is/wGNDr
