Image of Kevin Malone from The Office on the floor trying to clean up the pot of chili he just spilled on the carpet. There's chili all over him. In yellow text is his voiceover "it's probably the thing I do best" referring to making the chili. In white text is the word "me" over Kevin and "science" over what remains of the pot of chili.

Meme image of character Lucille Bluth on Arrested Development, played by Jessica Walter, saying "Good for her". She is an older white woman with light brown hair in a bob, wearing gold jewelry and nice clothes, holding a vanilla cupcake, sitting on a couch with a lamp nearby. Her face is slightly smug and admiring.

Congratulations to
@jenna-n-palmisano.bsky.social and the rest of the team on a really cool pub! This novel PCR assay majorly increases our ability to detect the invasive parasite Raillietiella orientalis in North American snakes from fecal samples and cloacal swabs.

Look! At! This! A sea turtle cake with scarily accurate #fibropapillomatosis (made from chocolate-covered shredded coconut 🥥 😅)
Cupcake cake decorated to look like a sea turtle. Blue frosting says "happy graduation Katie" Close up of sea turtle cupcake cake. The head of the sea turtle has two pieces of grey-pink candy on them that look like fibropapillomatosis tumors.

I defended my PhD on Halloween this year so I figured I'd post some photos now! 🎃 My labs went all out with the spooky theme and my committee members did too, even coming in costume.
