Promoting change in how we teach college biology through research, outreach, and passion. Slightly obsessed with my cats, baking, fiber arts, and Squirrel!
Some days I really appreciate past Jenni who forgot she tucked a little treat into her backpack and left it for me to discover today.

Spell check recommending I add a comma after Dr. as in: Dear Dr., Smith. Is this a new kind of comma I didn't learn about? Like we have the Oxford comma and now the AI comma?

Parenting an older teen is wild. My kid gets home from rehearsal after I’m asleep, locks up, and is gone before the birds sing. If I’m lucky, I’ll see her for dinner.

#SABER2025 is in the books! We did some great postering and talking, ate some good food, and I managed to lose my office keys! (We even let a few physicists join us) Great to hang out with the @sabercommunity.bsky.social ! @elhackerson.bsky.social @elenabrayspeth.bsky.social

Earl Grey took his longest bike ride yet, about two miles round trip! He chilled at Würst (and maybe ate a cheese curd), people watched while we got bobas, and explored Broadway square!

I know I promised another bicycling with Earl post, but he ate part of a foam board and was not up for much motion yesterday afternoon. Side note: if you know how to prevent a cat from ingesting foam, silicone, and rubber, please share!

Friends, it was hot and humid this weekend, and Earl did not need to sweat his little ears off in a saddle bag on a bicycle. It's cooler today, so fingers crossed for more cat-in-a-saddle bag footage!

Ah! The beautiful scenery of not-so-lake life!! Also: call your senators and reps to step up and do their job: only congress can declare war.

I serged the edges of 262 costume labels today, or 1,048 edges. It’s enough for this year’s Trollwood production (Mama Mia!) and then some.

Cat bicycling adventures continue! He seems to enjoy the one arm out approach to bicycling, and is unfazed by dogs barking. Still looking for a short leash to clip him in for safety...

Day 2 of training Earl Grey to go for bicycle rides. Zero attempts at escape, and he seems to enjoy the breeze in his whiskers! I need a tiny leash to attach him to the basket (safety first!), and then we can go for ice cream!

The world's on fire, and I'm trying to train Earl Grey (my cat) to go for bicycle rides with me. Day 1: he attempted two escapes before settling in for a ride around the block.
