I’m stuck in bed between chemo treatments for metastatic coloncancer, wearing a take-home chemo pump attached to my chest.

I wanted to share my advice that you can benefit from ‘Letting Your Colleagues In’ don’t need to struggle alone

Consider Sharing Health Challenges With Colleagues (opinion)
Being open with my colleagues about my cancer diagnosis has allowed me to access an enormous source of support and comfort.

Being bilingual means one language may influence the other.

Now I also second-guess and stutter in my mother tongue. Sure.

I think we've figured out the right solution at the Evolution Meetings: Bang for your buck, a virtual meeting two weeks before the in-person is the most cost-effective way to involve remote participants.

A couple thoughts 🧵
There are too many reasons to have every meeting/session online for free: some can’t attend for health reasons, can’t afford it, don’t have childcare, etc., and everybody in the public should be invited to attend; open access doesn’t mean just publications; meetings can’t afford it? Figure it out.

Meet Dr. Laura Lagomarsino, who fell in love with plants during childhood camping trips in California's redwood forests. Her passion for plant-pollinator relationships began with a magical moment watching hummingbirds visit curved flowers in Costa Rica's cloud forests.
