This was the other fun surprise on the south oval last night, apparently OU has a new robot lawnmower! We didn’t get to see it in action, but it’s quite large! Schnauzers for scale!

Urgent script for calling your rep today (thank you to @500womensci.bsky.social !) (image because otherwise it is over on the text limit). Your call matters!! It only took me 1 min to call! #savensf
Ask your Representative to sign the bipartisan Neguse-Fitzpatrick Dear Colleague Letter. The deadline for Representatives to be added to the letter is COB on Wednesday, May 14, 2025. Example call script: Hi, my name is _______________ and I am calling to demand that Congressman/Senator sign the Neguse-Fitzpatrick Dear Colleague Letter that will provide NSF at least $10.2 billion in FY2026. I strongly support the basic science that NSF funds and believe NSF is crucial to continued American innovation. I urge/demand Congressman/Senator ____________________ to do everything in his/her power to protect NSF funding.

I love that the office is protecting the mama geese and ducks
Email that says: This is just a notice for awareness. Outside of the first-floor main entrance we have the east walkway to the building blocked off. There is a goose and a duck that have nested and laid eggs which we cannot disturb. Please note that the geese that are in this area around the nest can become aggressive if anyone walks too close to the nest so, please avoid the area that is blocked off. Until the goslings and ducklings hatch and leave, we will be leaving the caution tape up and ask that everyone walk around the area. We will pull down the caution tape when we can. Please let us know if there are any questions.
