It would, of course, be completely unfair if I didn't share a pic, so that you can see for yourself just how handsome my cat actually is....
Photo of very handsome tabby cat, with brown and black tabby on back, and white chest, paws, and face. He is sitting on a desk, behind a laptop computer, selecting a pen from a pen cup to pull out with his teeth.

Floral arrangement sits on a short stack of books, on a gauzy pale gray table runner on an old wooden table top. On the runner rests so n e eucalyptus branches, and a single pale gray rose

It was so great being able to make the last few minutes of the #AWM awards reception at #JMM2025 in Seattle, after my session wrapped up. I got there just in time to see outgoing president Talitha Washington pass the reigns to our new incoming president Raegan Higgins. Many congrats to both!

Some thrilling work being presented in this 1st session of meeting from Assoc of Women in Math #AWM on Women in Math Biology. Great work by 1st 2 spkrs Anne Nelson and Keisha Cook on modeling MTs and endosomes. Subcellular and molecular stuff. Im in heaven!

Happy New Year, Fellow Skyers! Here's to so much scientific discovery and progress in mathematics and living the kind of positive life that brings good to the world. Prof. Bounds and I are doing a bit of work today. It is a joy.
He just needs some coffee to go with that donut!
2025, bring it
Handsome tabby cat with brown-black stripes and white underbelly and paws is lounging on a blue/gray sofa in front of an open laptop computer that is resting on the sofa. It is as if he is working on something. He has a small stuffed donut toy next to his left paw.

What could be better than getting my ContamClub @contamclub.bsky.social calendar (and socks!!!) right before New Years, so I can enjoy it from Day 1 of 2025!!! Microbes all flippin' year long! Thanks to @chenxinli2.bsky.social for posting the pic that convinced me to get this year's calendar!

With the math crowd jumpin' here on Bsky, I'm inviting all who will be at #JMM2025 next month to our fun + highly interdisciplinary session on Computational Biomed held Friday Jan 10. Great lineup of speakers + topics! Check it out! Repost to spread the word.

And here is another shot of my handsome cat, Professor Bounds. He is looking at me in a way that is quite terrifying, but really, he's a gentle giant.

Seems a good time for reintroductions. I'm an applied mathematician/math biologist/computational chemist & all around quantitative scientist working in image analysis, structural bio, and biophysics. I ♥️ data. I ♥️ math. Im incredibly fortunate to work lots with both.

This is too much fun. Definitely needs the hula dance nutator, though

My handsome fella is helping me read papers today! Such a scholar is my Prof. Bounds.

My very own in-house gourmet, sampling the arugula. He is particular about his greens. Ordinary lettuce is a no go. Frisee and arugula are his faves. Boy after my own heart (and my better greens). Prof. Bounds has great taste!

Mola mola, the ocean sunfish! The 2nd most improbable and bizarre animal I ever got to see live and in person. (Winner in that category: Anteater.)
Picture of an ocean sunfish (Mola mola). White body in very blue water, it is an oddly shaped fish with a almost plate-like main body, large lower fin (not really at the tail), and a very small mouth.

The Professor is awesome. And was SUCH a good boy getting his rabies shot this week. I'm so proud. And, the 💩 was parasite free! He just keeps getting more and more perfect. I posted this one earlier this week

My fave boy, reaching for a sharpie. Such a dyed-in-the-wool scientist, just like his Mom! He totally lives up to his name!

Mine, for sure. I can almost guarantee to be able to do 100% of this one...do I get more than $500K?

Hey, chem- and sci-heads. Do you know what today (Feb 7) is? It is NATIONAL PERIODIC TABLE DAY! Yep, time to pay tribute to our fave, iconic chart, the one that looked lovingly over us while we were undergrads loving our GenChem and OChem classes. Celebrate! 🎉

Mine was a mess! Because I'm a quant grrl, and stick my thumb in a lot of people's pies, I guess 🥧. Then I realized I had to tone down the number of word appearances.
Still, it was cool to see what floats to the top. Tells me about myself!
