Happy dog, smiling
She’s as stupid and happy as ever! Probably because she can’t read the news. But I’m hanging in there :)

Turns out that grant writing skills are useful for things other than research. I sure hope this isn’t the only grant that I get this year though!

We’re so proud of the hard work and dedication she’s poured into her research. Her work was supported by an NIH F31, which makes this accomplishment even more impressive.
Excited to see what’s next for Allison!

If I seem a little distracted today, my RA got spooked by a giant clap of thunder and has now taken up residence in my lap.

I’m sorry if I was distracted during my last meeting. I couldn’t hear you over my research assistant’s snoring.
With the new school year starting, it’s definitely time to refresh my cheesy office snack supply. I found myself wholly unprepared today and want to make sure that doesn’t happen again.

Just in case you were worried that I fired my research assistant, she’s here and still as useful as always.
A bold, patriotic-themed flyer for “31 Days of Action” by Stand Up for Science. The top half features red diagonal banners with white text reading “31 Days of Action” and the Stand Up for Science logo beneath it. The background includes blue ink splatters, red and white stars, and distressed textures evoking protest art. The right side prominently displays the Statue of Liberty in grayscale, holding her torch high. At the bottom, there is a red QR code and a blue banner with the URL: “standupforscience.net/31-DAYS-OF-ACTION”. The overall design conveys urgency, activism, and American iconography.
📣 ANNOUNCEMENT: 31 Days of Action – All August!
Funding cuts. Banned words. Fired public servants.
Trump & his cronies are dismantling America’s greatest experiment - our democracy - & with it, science.
Between now & Sept 30th we decide: Are we a democracy… or an oligarchy?

I’m going to need Teams and Webex to up their beauty filters to Zoom standards. My vanity can’t take it.
So proud of the work that @melissa-lewis.bsky.social and I are doing and excited to grow our work in the UTA School of Social Work!
Silly dog
Trying to keep a straight face on a zoom call is hard when this is across from you.
Deb is the best!

My research assistant is sleeping on the job again.
I got my potato’s DNA done and she was 75% ambully and 25% frenchie!
Thank you! She’s the happiest little research assistant!
Maybe a “get in dorks” bandana…
