The moment guests leave and the cats can relax #caturday

🧠 If women’s brain injuries aren’t studied, they’re not seen. 💸 If they’re not seen, they’re not funded. 🏥 If they’re not funded, better care doesn't happen. Equity in research is not a luxury. It is a necessity. #ResearchJustice #BrainHealth #TBI #PinkConcussion

I've never been very good at making friends. But through a hobby! Probably why the majority of my IRL friends are knitters. The circle has shrunk further during grad school, but that's OK.

Big League is giving the same vibes as the screaming cowboy cat meme. I just hear that music on and on here

Expecting another 3-5" 😰 I'm grateful for the moisture before the wildfire season, but at the same time, not excited about driving tomorrow. Pretty sure it's too heavy for the elderly snowblower, so I shoveled a large enough spot to give my car oomph from the garage, down & out the long driveway 😬

Steek prepped for this weekend! Looking forward to crafternoon with emotional steek support #knitsky

Lazy Sunday for Sesame, listening to The Doors Radio on Spotify and rolling in catnip

Innovative! Good job, hospital PR team! Can't wait to see the clinical implications 😅

All those who scratch the couch, raise a paw! Big League: I guess?

Happy #caturday! See this wide-eyed, innocent face? It's the face of a cat who purposely got vomited on this morning. ON HIS FACE. He ran up to Churro while she was retching and received the gift of this morning's breakfast. And it's not the first time. I have to hold him back if I hear it. Freak. 🤢

Look up the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). THESE QUESTIONS ARE NOT HARD. They can be "tricky" or "tough" for folks who have cognitive impairment. I strongly doubt "100%" if he's going on and on about it like this. Plus, not even answering the question! Squirrel! www.npr.org/2025/04/11/n...

#showmeyourknits #knitsky #knitting I don't purposefully knit gifts often, but I do gift knits! I gifted this shawl to one of my favorite neighbors during a recent surgical recovery. She said it was perfectly plush and warm to wear in cooler evenings.

Big League braved the melting snow, and "ew, it's wet." 😂 I love seeing his fur in the wind - he looks even more majestic!

Grant writers & researchers — heads up. Some words in your proposals might quietly get you flagged or desk-rejected due to shifting federal priorities. So I built a tool to help: ScanAssist 🧵 1/6

This thread is a love letter to knitting, the connections between fiber, thread, and shape of garments with people all over the world and over thousands of years. It's why I love it too!

I just realized that it's Sesame's 6th gotcha day anniversary, which means she's about 10 years old! Then, and now 😺

This week has been absolutely trudging through molasses, but I'm super pleased to report that my study is halfway through recruitment! 🥳 The first 7 months were brutal and slow, but recruitment more than doubled since January. I hope this momentum keeps up so I can graduate in December!

This is Churro, all the time.

If dogs could talk about you behind your back, they wouldn't. Cats already can, and do.

Churro and Big League stretched at the same time to end up in this position. He really wants to be near Sesame, but she'll swipe him. See progression pics for his thoughts on comfy.
