I’ve been quiet on here — summer’s been a blur ☀️
The dogs are surviving fireworks with snuggles + peanut butter 🐾🎆
And I biked to work once — calling it a win 🚴♀️💪
Sometimes that’s enough 💛

About a month out from the end of the semester, and I’m still figuring out how to be in summer mode.
The pace has slowed — which is good — but not always comfortable. I’ve been taking the girls 🐾 on longer morning walks, sometimes to the dog park.

🌞 First week of the summer semester:
Finalized grades, prepped for lab skills testing at a local technical college.
Enjoyed a slower pace, more dog walks, healthier meals, and lunches with colleagues. Loving the fresh change!

My wife just left for 6 weeks of archaeological field school.
It made me think of mine: trekking in Nepal, collecting biomechanics data at altitude.
When the field becomes the classroom, every step teaches something new. 🏔️📐

Walked by the Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher Garden at #OU today. My wife first showed it to me while studying the geology of the 77 stones that make up the fountain.
No water flows now. Just this:
“The stone the builders once rejected has become the cornerstone.”
Made me pause.

Rainy skies 🌧️ in Oklahoma this week—it’s starting to feel a bit like home in Ireland. 🇮🇪
Finals week energy + this weather = slow sips, quiet moments, and letting the to-do list breathe.
We’ll get there. One warm cup at a time.☕️

🚨 AIMBE is calling on the biomedical research community to take a minute to send our 3 new advocacy letters urging Congress to:
1. Protect the STEM Training Pipeline (e.g., NIH MOSAIC, T32s, MARC, etc.)
2. Oppose Indirect Cost Caps
3. Support Research Funding in FY2026

Finals week is here and grading’s ✅. My summer goals? Reasonable work expectations, lots of dog walks, good food, and maybe a few bike rides. My dog (pictured) is already fully committed to the walks and resting. I’m hoping to follow her lead.

We’re sounding the alarm for science. Science is not a switch that can be flipped on or off. If we do not act now to alter our current trajectory it will undermine our prosperity, our democracy, and our children’s futures for decades to come. You need science. Science needs you. SaveScienceNow.org

This week didn’t all fit neatly into accomplishments or bullet points.
Some things moved forward. Some things slipped through the cracks.
Here’s what I’m carrying into the weekend:
❌ Missed informal check-ins
❌ Double-booked and missed a commitment

Next week, my knowledge-absorbers will prepare visual rectangles:
🔘 Select shapes
🔘 Apply sticky symbols
🔘 Clarify observations (and confusion)
🔘 Practice vocalizing to unfamiliar lifeforms
Soon they will say:
“I have attempted science.”
Joy levels = high.

This week was full:
✍️ Negotiated a faculty hire
🎤 Hosted a campus interview
🎓 Sat on an MS thesis defense
🧪 Met with my PhD & MS students
✅ Final project day in lab
📬 Sent federal grant responses (!!)
💻 Research collabs (DoD + foundation)
So much good, but heavy too.
