While prepping for our Thanksgiving meal, I inadvertently made a sweet potato into #celegans. Is my subconscious telling me something? Thank you worms! Happy Thanksgiving!

This approach has a well-known consequence: it's called the minority tax that faculty of color often face as we're called upon to address inequities in the larger system. I just want to make sure we don't keep adding to that tax. 4/4.

My 9 year old saw these mushrooms on our walk to her school this morning and she said, “We should invite them to Thanksgiving, I hear they’re fun guys.” I think she’s adopting my sense of humor and it made me happy.
