It was a great feeling to receive @asheassa.bsky.social Service Award. Favors in academia should be inter generational. We all received help to get where we are. When you are able it is time to reach back and help pull someone else over the hurdle. #ASSA2025

Everyone needs a third place. Home is one place and Work is a second place. What is your third place? Mine is on the mats.
