I’ve started wearing a hat at work most days because I like hats. Particularly backwards baseball hats. The students have no opinion on this but man are my co-workers in other colleges and department confused by this. You can be an academic and not wear a blazer. It’s ok friends.

For me, the real humbling bit of this was: you HAVE to keep a regularly updated list of every student who goes on a lab field trip or spends a semester cleaning glassware, otherwise you absolutely will not be able to remember them all at Tenure Time
Hey! New faculty! Your annual reminder to keep track of *everything* you do in some way or another. I just dump stuff into a Google doc, nothing fancy, but saves a ton of time when working on promotion & tenure docs.

Ugghhhh a little while back someone posted 4 questions they ask students to answer on the first day of classes. One question was something along the lines of “what would help you succeed in this class” and I cannot find the post. So if that was you, please tell me.

My fellow big backs going to #botany2025 Sherman’s Deli has an sandwich that is corned beef (Or pastrami) sandwiched between two potato pancakes. It is amazing and near the top of my list for must do during Palm Springs visits.

Gordon Conference on CO2 assimilation continues to be an amazing meeting. My life/research has taken a pretty hard turn from pure photosynthetic research but it’s nice to know I can always go back “home” and have folks to talk with. Now time for naps.

At the CO2 Assimilation Gordon Conference this week. When I get in the weeds about CO2 assimilation when teaching I often reference things that “you might not care but me and my 5 friends care about deeply”. Looking forward to chatting with other Rubisco nerds.

This semester I am teaching a dream class, a seminar course on the Buffalo National River that will conclude with a 3 day camping trip on the Buffalo River. I’m doing this with folks from 3 other universities and there will also be river management professionals on the trip 🧵

Some advice a received, accepted, and in retrospect wasn’t good advice was treat your pre-tenure years like a postdoc. For me this meant, doing a lot of different projects and getting involved in collaborative networks. (1/2)

King of the Hill was the BEST preparation I could have had before moving to Texas for grad school and the 9 years I ended up living there. I loved KotH before I lived there but now? It’s my all time favorite.
"King of the Hill" is not an animated sitcom. It is an animated, well-researched documentary on life in Texas presented as a sitcom.

New paper alert. This was my first experience with microPublications Biology and I think this is a great way to get undergraduate research out in the world.
