In case you’re wondering where we are in the Wicked timeline right now, it’s the scene where Dr. Dillamond is arrested for teaching. You’re welcome.

The only thing keeping me sane today is foreign (British, European) news which is variously bemused, alarmed, confused, amused, disgusted, and unimpressed by our new president and his promises/acts.

It has been an insane week at work, so this weekend I intend to Be More Ziggy. Like a chubby, horizontal, ginger furred penguin, Ziggy prioritizes rest and relaxation. Be more Ziggy. #CatsOfBluesky

This is Bruno. Bruno was born under my desk and has no reason to believe he is not a human child, hence his love of being carried around like one. Bruno wishes you a Happy Tuesday, big furless friends. #CatsOfBluesky #BobtailCat

It's disturbing seeing some medical and public health professionals trying to normalize RFK by saying "we have to meet him halfway." NOPE. RFK is a charlatan who has deliberately spread disinformation that has killed people. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

Bluesky seems to be a very cat friendly platform and I need very little encouragement, so here’s a picture of one of my mogs, Marley. Yes, she is beautiful. Yes, she knows it. #CatsOfBluesky

We had to make a form to handle the incoming responses. Here it is. Share it. Our immediate needs are marketing experts, 5th grade teachers, app developers, and grantwriters/fundraisers. An IP attorney as well. We've made great progress. We have 67 days.

My most liked X post, reposting here: 1 in 10 of the top 100 ‘best’ scientists are named Michael or Eric, but only 3% are female according to Research.com. Putting aside the obvious flaws of the H-index, these numbers are disheartening: research.com/scientists-r... #SciComm #WomenInSTEM
