After years of struggling with how to cryopreserve one of our endosymbiotic bacteria, we found something that worked!

Those of us in STEM must vocally affirm that the humanities are our allies, and no department is expendable. Arguing we can survive by cutting whole disciplines isn’t just inhumane, it’s nonsensical. The humanities tell us why we’re here in the first place, and what to do about it! This isn’t hard!
Oh good. We've reached the "I don't have to be faster than the bear, I only have to be less woke than you" stage of faculty solidarity. archive.is/wGNDr

I am proud of my #NewPI activity this summer so I want to #humblebrag about a little.

Many of my students had results, but weren't making graphs and writing like they needed to 📊.

So, at the beginning of the summer, I issued a Publishable Pieces challenge: 10 PPs for lab 🍨 outing.

They did it!

We are *this* 🤏 close to having the first lab preprint posted for work only done since I started at Charlotte and I'm just so jazzed about it.

Also the author list is 1 tech, 1 undergrad, 1 high schooler, 1 rotation student, 2 local collabs, & @bhuwanabbot.bsky.social which is lab goals to me 🏆.

The one thing that is almost certain to come out of this presidency is another Michelle Obama book so I guess that’s a good thing
