GUESS WHAT.
They’re bringing a service dog-in-training into lab next week 🤩.
Bad news: we’re not supposed to pet him. They tried this on Amtrak once and it did not go as planned. Doggo got all the pets and even a couple treats.

Yesterday morning I gave away my witch spider hat to the barista who fell in love with it
I got to work an hour later, and *surprise* this giant 1950s era skull (used to teach anatomy) was waiting for me
Chad now has a head

Anyone else? Any advice?

But #AI 🤖 is doing my students a huge miracle. They’re doing a plankton survey, which takes forever and is marginally complete because lots of cells are fragmented or overlapping so they can’t be ID’d.
AI can give much more accurate abundance and diversity estimates
