Gay🏳️‍🌈, bird ecologist at UC Davis studying birds and food safety🥬🦃, I love cooking new things so send me fun recipes especially for the summer
Do you have any good cabbage recipes? Our friend gave us three huge heads from his garden and I need ideas

What bird is this? Clearly eaten by some sort of hawk but a little bit left. Morgan helped out that the brown might be from a hatch year bird, but that color definitely threw me

I got interviewed by FarmWorld about our bird poop paper. Had a lovely conversation with their journalist, and very fun to see our work get picked up and shared to the prime audience our work is for! We are on page 14 if you'd like to check it out: issues.farmworldonline.com/Issue/7109.pdf

I know multiple well-awarded ecology PhDs who have gone to colossal. Makes a shit ton of money to do nothing and I’m worried about jobs in ag and conservation lol it’s just funny
Of course mainstream media keeps rolling over for Colossal, providing uncritical hype and coverage in exchange for exclusivity and “wow.” What Colossal is doing is wrong and they can’t even deliver what they promise. How many times do we have to go over this?

I think what I didn’t realize about getting off my medication (which is good and I finally fucking made it) is how sad I would be. Like a whole nother thing to work through

Spoke too soon lol! Still off of it but definitely not feeling well
After 4 months after learning that I was taking way too much lorazepam, I am finally off of it and feeling so much more like myself and feeling so much better

In the office during spring break, alone, campus is empty. So to my surprise someone is playing some screamo metal so loud it is going through the walls…

At this point the nausea and dizziness I’m getting is so bad I’m a little unsure how to move forward:( Can’t even sleep through the night and this is while taking ondansetron

I know I keep talking about it and I’m also already annoyed but have been throwing up for 12 hours now😭 and I’m so so thirsty (also had a psychiatry meeting this morning and they know about this)

I’ve never thrown up more coming off this medicine - I’m so so tired of it:(

Hey all - do you have a paper that we could review as a lab? I know people want reviewers and we want to teach about reviewing!

A monumental betrayal.
"The decision to terminate at-will employees came from NSF alone, not from the administration, NSF management told workers during the meeting."

Firings at the NSF included permanent employees who had already completed their one-year probationary period, as well as at-will workers.

I’m reviewing a paper and it is 248 pages with supplements….

It is very funny trying to taper off medicine during the trump admin because I feel like I’m just complaining

So we just have to live with this now? And ajit pai gets to just live a regular life instead of facing any consequences?

I got asked to review a paper that I do think I’m particularly qualified to review. They say stuff that *I* think in answered a bit in my old papers (which is fine!) but is it frowned upon to suggest my papers in the review? I honestly think it’d be helpful - not just looking for a cite
