HUGE protest outside of my workplace today. So many amazing humans standing up and using their voices to defend the importance of the science we do. Makes me so happy 🫶🏼 They have no idea how good this makes me feel right now.

The first grad student to defend since I joined my group a few years ago is defending Wednesday! I’m so stoked for him. He’s worked extremely hard over the years I’ve known him, and I just know he is going to crush this.

It worked.

This is my “I hope the government doesn’t shut down” face.

Sometimes a day on the couch with your dogs and cat watching football is exactly what you need 🥰

Stressful week led me to go ham in the kitchen this evening. Wild Friday 😆 I made kale and mushroom risotto, quick (non authentic) jambalaya, and high protein baked penne pasta.

Cleaned up an aluminum pocket today in the cleanroom. #NIST #WomenInSTEM

My nephew turns one month old tomorrow. I think he’s ready. #quantumphysics

I got to be the course marshal for NIST Boulder’s annual Turkey Trot. One of my colleagues came in first! So fun cheering on and directing everybody last Thursday. #NIST #TurkeyTrot
