Open Science @ Biohub, I like bioinformatics/plant genomics/evolutionary biology.

Fiber artist/sci-fi/queer. Perceived pronouns (any acceptable).

I’m quite pleased with the two open science stickers I designed and printed this year. The Bigfoot sticker may represent the first in a series of gay cryptids!

A peek at the fruit of this week’s conference knitting. I ripped out half of this sock and still finished the pair!

I'm also having feelings about my public GitHub contributions reporting that I'm "100% issues." Sounds like I'm in a toxic relationship with my repos, tbh

A real thing I wrote to a colleague yesterday while taking a work call from an airport:

"Can you back me up in case something weird happens? There is half a bulb of half-peeled garlic next to me and it's making me anxious."

Currently working temporarily from a coffee shop and wishing I was in last week's hotel, with art that featured a cyclist's bum strategically located over my shoulder when viewed on zoom

My littlest sis gave me a Butts on Things calendar for 2025. Today’s thing with a butt brings back so much nostalgia!

I am in love with this art I recently purchased from my friend Lynn Fellman's "Raging Climate" series. I adore the colors of this digital art print, especially with the ornate gothic frame! See this and other designs at fellmanstudio.com/prints/.

We don't deserve our libraries! 😭

I'm lucky enough to be unaffected by power outages here in Seattle, but I am still SO grateful for options like this.
