Strong doom scroll and dumpster fire vibes lately, so here's a pic of Mandy cat in full roar after seemingly taking out Rosie dog*.

*No animals were harmed in the making of this image. Mandy and Rosie were both sleepy and Mandy is mid-yawn.

Absolutely amazing balloon fiesta day!! Made the full NM experience complete with a close call with a western diamondback rattlesnake during balloon retrieval. 🐍😬 @lcornelas.bsky.social @davidleyphd.bsky.social

Also great to get in a few days of running in Brussels before/after the meeting. I love exploring new cities by getting lost on foot!

Talking to European colleagues about the state of science and life in the U.S. at ESBRA was both depressing and validating.

@matwmccool.bsky.social gave a phenomenal talk and ❤️ shoutouts to @cassie-boness.bsky.social by @pierremaurage.bsky.social and to Tori Votaw by George Koob!

New semester starting tomorrow and genuinely SO excited to be teaching our graduate regression course again. In lieu of even more prep I spent the weekend hiking and ballooning. And it was amazing. Work-life balance. With emphasis on life. Weekends are for balloons!

Finally, incredibly stunned/honored to receive the @rsaofficial.bsky.social Marlatt Mentorship award. Alan Marlatt (my PhD mentor) is the reason I am a scientist and I am so honored to carry on his legacy of mentoring. I hope our T32 will fund so we can continue mentoring our amazing trainees.

We stand up for science because science stands up for us! Funding for science saves lives, creates jobs, grows our economy, can work to save our climate, and fosters innovation.
