feed your communities if you can. take care of each other. if you're feeling overwhelmed - here's an idea: we started a food pantry for students in an empty filing cabinet. it is entirely faculty and staff funded. this year I'm running a drive to get some fun meal kits for it! you can do that too!
excited for #psynom next week! my grad student is presenting her thesis work in the Saturday noon poster session and I'll be presenting a poster in the Saturday evening session!

"we can make the highway that runs through to town safer for everyone and cyclist and pedestrian friendly but it will add four minutes to the drive :("

I'm sorry have you lost your mind someone's safety is worth way more than an extra FOUR MINUTES IN A CAR what on earth. car culture is so weird.

I love how many hats linguistics lets me wear.

There's the social sciences hat, the humanities hat, the data science hat, and even the physics and biology hats!

If only I had more heads to wear all hats at once!
