Man in white came up to read my sign “what would you do during the Holocaust. You’re doing it now.”
Then he showed the others.
Thing is, if you’re triggered by that sign…If it makes you mad…then it’s 100% for you. And if not, if your heart is “right with Jesus” (pun intended) then you won’t be mad.
Then he showed the others.

So, I plated some of the isolates with diagnostic antibiotics. It was indeed susceptible to bacitracin, effectively confirming that I had Strep throat.

I have been very sick lately and the doctor thought it was Strep throat. So I swabbed myself. The colonies were indeed beta hemolytic, but I’m a Staph carrier (1/4 of us are) so I tested for catalase. It was catalase negative which indicates Streptococcus not Staphylococcus.

I asked ChatGPT to make Perle a person. Told it she was a sweet, easygoing, older lady who is always up for anything. Why does the person remind me of my mom?!

I turned the ribbons into custom bracelets. (I bought the bracelets for this.) Now I’ll have a reminder of this very treasured gift. I’m so proud to wear them this week.

A student brought me candies her mom brought from Ukraine to thank me for showing support. She said I was the only professor. I sobbed. She gifted me precious limited candy her mom brought back.

Last time doing the GNB Unknowns. This was so much work for me to do for them… but I won’t miss the grading! I don’t think unknowns projects serve non majors in their careers. I designed the report to test critical thinking, but it’s the best I can do.

Just the random stuff in the back of my car; a sassy politicial tshirt, a very old protest sign, my Unit 3 microbiology teach stuff, and my bag of iClickers. Pretty clear what my priorities are. 😁

We aren’t allowed to have signs. But we are allowed to fly one flag or have one wreath. So this is my choice. My last one was just a printed paper, so I’m glad for this one to show more since my window faces the very front.

I printed one for about a week, but today when going to get groceries I found one for $2.50. I was so embarrassed buying it, but this is what it was for.
