Transatlantic shout-out to @pinkpetri.bsky.social for these excellent stickers that I gave to @jananiravi.bsky.social, who then immediately stuck them on her office doorway.

Since folks keep asking where she got them, go check out the shop! www.etsy.com/shop/pinkpetri
A photo taken of a name placard next to an office doorway. The placard is for Dr. Janani Ravi, assistant professor at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in the Department of Biomedical Informatics. To the left of the placard on the doorway itself is an arrangement of five tastefully designed stickers designed to look like the cover pages of different scientific journal articles. The stickers are, from top to bottom, titled, "Actually, it turns out One Health is important", "The microbiome of everyone and their dog", "This niche gene you've never heard of is cool", "Once again, we've isolated a novel phage from sewage", and "Antimicrobial resistance is bad." Our work in the group is successfully reflected by these joking titles. The stickers were designed and sold by Pink Petri on Etsy [https://www.etsy.com/shop/pinkpetri/].

The views from the office are another real perk of working here at @cubiomedinfo.bsky.social.
A morning landscape shot from the rooftop of a building in Aurora, CO. The scene faces west towards the Front Range mountains, with the city skyline of Denver in the center of the shot. The view, rows of scattered buildings, evergreens, and brown branches of leafless deciduous trees, rising up into the mountains, is blanketed in a crisp white layer of snow. The sky is a sharp blue to white gradient with clouds enveloping the highest mountain peaks including Mt. Blue Sky in the distance. Some goofy Canadian geese are in mid-flight at around the level of the horizon, and while you can't hear them in a photo, I certainly could at the time.
