I hate the term “Wintry Mix”. That should refer to a yummy hot chocolate drink, not this sleety, snowy, icy mess.

I feel like at a science meeting i should be knitting something science themed, but all I brought to the #AAASmtg is a shirt. #SciArt #STEAM folk, what should I be working on? #KnittersOfBluesky #KnittingHelpsMeFocus

If you see this, quote with your weirdest purchase for 🧪
My husband tried to buy a bunch of horse condoms once, for something with greenhouse gases
I had like 50 lbs of dental plaster shipped to me in Panama to study trees
And everyone knows pantyhose are the unsung hero of ocean fieldwork

The world is on fire, so this observation is inconsequential, but...
I'm in P-card Training and most of the "weird" examples of purchases are clearly Ecologists (field scientists; e.g., bug containers, lingerie bags for samples). I love that we collectively keep purchasing on their toes.

Let the fun begin!! Excited to be at the #AAASmtg.
If you're also here, I'd like to connect! (Especially if you're a working parent. It's very intimidating.🫣)
