A lot of made for how Rose could have made room for Jack on the board but I don't think we've given enough mental bandwidth to showing that Indiana and his dad could have easily worked together to get that Grail. #cupfail

I sat next to a women and her 10ish yo daughter on a plane last night. I overheard them talking on the jetway about the daughter's interest in becoming a paleontologist or herpetologist, and the mom saying she always wished to be an entomologist. I introduced myself after sitting down.

Had an amazing time with my fellow mosquito wranglers Ary Faraji (MUVE President) and Larry Reeves (U Florida FMEL). Took a collecting trip to find Aedes togoi, a mosquito that uses rocky ocean-side outcrops as larval habitat.

Give me my cold, dispassionate, unengaged store worker please. I don't need to be asked how my day is.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
