Won a little teaching award (nominated by students which makes it really meaningful to me) at my college and they do a photoshoot to celebrate. Kind of fun! A little light in rather dark times for #HigherEd.

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).
Rosalind Franklin and the damage of gender harassment
Spurred by a recent report on sexual harassment in academia, our columnist revisits a historical case and reflects on what has changed—and what hasn’t

I’ve reached the point in the semester where I come home from work and just sing karaoke to myself. You know let it all out very loudly. Sometimes with a 🍷. 😂

OMG. I'm watching something on tv that is saying we can absorb electrons through our bare feet which causes our blood cells to repel each other. Then we can use them in the ETC. And as a result we live longer and are calmer.
Pray for me - I'm about to throw the tv.

I see the patriarchy is hard at work trying to destroy Jane Goodall's reputation.
Absolutely no one is perfect, but maybe look at their life and contributions as whole. Was their goal to make the world better? Did they come from a place of love and kindness? Did they try??
Glass houses - rocks.

The Great Lock In is trending but I've been focused on my New Year's resolutions since January so I think I've been locked in for a minute.
Hit a PB this morning and hoping to get it under 33 by February. Also I can't believe I've accidentally joined a cult.

We are six weeks into the semester and SEVEN grandmothers have already died.
This might be a record. So glad I instituted my no-makeup/no extension policy and went to dropped grades. It would be impossible to do so many make-ups for all these deaths and flat tires.

Jane Goodall was a huge part of the reason I became a scientist.
She made the world a better and brighter place.
And her work and ideas will continue to impact and influence how we think about conservation, women in science, and leadership.
She lived an incredible life - may we all do the same.

Ran my first 5K today. Finished third in my age group, so that's pretty cool. My official photo captured my shadow leaping over the finish line. 😂

So did this today for the first time ever. Never thought I’d run a 5k when I started running 7 months ago & certainly not with an ok time. So signed up for a 5k this weekend. Let’s see how I do against some real runners - I do love me a good old slice of humble pie. #running #rungirlrun #thisis50

As a scientist and anatomy professor this is absolutely deplorable news. It is wrong and goes against all data & evidence. And economists can explain how it will hurt GDP and the economy.
As we enter the “fuck around and find out” public health era, it’s important to remember, people will be harmed..people will die. All of this is preventable.
