Had an absolute blast serving as faculty volunteer for @acs.org’s Postdoc-to-Faculty (P2F) Workshop! Thanks Natalia and Nicole for inviting me to help out! I had the best time networking with amazing future faculty, sharing with them my experiences with the academic job search and hiring process!
This billionaire’s fortune is built atop research funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation, and yet he seeks to destroy that agency and its investments in the scientific engine that has fueled our tech industry since the 1950s. And why? Because it tried to include more diverse scholars?

Fireworks suck! Here are some tips from cat behaviorist @mikeldelgado.bsky.social for keeping your cats safe and happy this 4th of July. www.instagram.com/p/C87GFSBpgyk/

See you in St. Louis next month, Paulette!
Many thanks to Prof. Melissa Reeves for training me, my learning assistants, my colleague Prof. Sarah Bergeron, and my fellow instructors from the Bio and Math Departments last Friday! My LAs and I are beyond excited to implement #POGIL in our General Chemistry classes next semester and beyond!
Sort of a 🧵?
So here's my moral quandary/query: Can there be an ethical billionaire?
If answering yes, the answers I've seen always rely on suppositions and ideations.
They yes answer never has any actual, concrete evidence, or attempts to distort evidence.
