Despite grants, teaching, lab, and (waves hands) all this - remembering to find joy where I can. Working on some new pieces I am really enjoying experimenting with - can't wait to see how this one will turn out

a few new pieces using applique of colored or mixed clay - limited success, still getting cracks at the joints, colors not as vibrant as I wanted. Flowerpot is nice though! #pottery

just saying:
Political ≠ Partisan
While scientific societies should not be partisan, they obviously cannot (and do not) avoid being political. Advocating for policies grounded in solid scientific understanding is not partisan
If our scientific societies don't do this when of what use are they?

so if you think scientists entering the public sphere to educate and advocate and push for progressive science policies is not sticking to our proper lane, then you might want to unfollow me. But I hope you won't - and here is a nice photo as a treat for reading this far
