Here’s my sign from March for Science in 2017. I guess I should have made the parenthetical at the bottom a larger font since it obviously didn’t take.

Easy to beat New Yorkers to Best Bagel on a Sunday morning when you’re on my sleep schedule. @mikefeigin.bsky.social approved, I assume?

It’s time to do my grant reviews and in appropriate attire.

Resistance or a foolish waste of time ?

And here’s (almost) the whole center sporting the purple for #WorldPancreaticCancerDay!

Purple with a purpose! Show me how you’re raising awareness on this World Pancreatic Cancer Day!
