I lost my job at the National Science Foundation yesterday, along with 167 of my colleagues, including some dear friends. This was the best job I've ever had, and I thought it would be my last. The PI community has been sympathetic and supportive, without exception. I will miss working for you.

I got an email this morning from a couple named Eric and Joanna Reuter who found a snake in their basement. They used one of my comics to help determine that it was a North American Racer and not a more common ratsnake. The photos are so, so cute

A proposal: Academic researchers and folks in similar positions, consider writing an op-Ed, or at least a letter to the editor, in your local paper about what these horrific decisions will do to jobs and services in your local community. I train scientists to write op-Ed’s and I can help.

Old friend just laid off by USDA, 1 mos short of his probationary period as senior researcher. Brilliant person who left a tenured faculty position several yrs ago to join USDA. Bright early-career researchers also being laid off. USDA is terminating a generation of highly-qualified scientists.

My mom is out protesting today. She txt'd me just now that she made baked potatoes and put them in her pockets to use as handwarmers. Then when her sugar got low, she could have a snack. My mom might be a hobbit.

I just unironically thought “I need a tea cozy.” Not sure how to process reaching this stage in aging. Probably by knitting a tea cozy.

It’s been buried in all the news today, but every scientist in the US should pay attention to this: Mike Lauer went out on a limb for us all, sending out a memo saying institutes should start awarding grants. And it looks like Trump/Musk fired him for that. 🧪

You might have missed it, but Amazon warehouse workers in Raleigh, NC are voting this week on whether to form a union. If they win, they'll be the first unionized Amazon facility in the South. Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.
