homer simpson and marge simpson are standing in front of a calendar that says march on it Alt: Homer Simpson simpson and Marge Simpson are standing in front of a calendar that is for the made up month of Smarch, complaining about how cold the weather is.

Just when we thought we were free from the cold this year.

I remember taking a phone call as a kid from a charity that was fundraising to find a cure for HIV. Years later, a different charity called and they were fundraising to help distribute the treatment. The significance of that difference didn't hit me until years later.

Incredible.

Thank you for the timeline cleanse.

Super interesting, I was wondering when we'd see something better than paxlovid on the market (in a few years if all goes well, I guess!)

This is non trivial. Sometimes I get some emails from students that seem like they could have been written via LLM.

Seconded.

Incredible. Absolutely incredible.

Honestly, saying that the student is in the top 2% of writers out of however many you have taught might be a really good thing to include.

I think this means, contractually, you're obligated to do a ranking of electoral systems.

What I'm saying is you'll have to rank ranked ballots.

Staying power to this day. This was the soundtrack to many writing sessions in grad school.

Is there an HVAC process that is turning off / on at that time?

Hi Kevin, thank you for sharing your challenges in this thread. Could we talk about this more in direct messages? I did my PhD in immunology and I'm trying to sort out the internal tension I feel by the lack of organizational transparency in the evolving understanding of the harms of COVID.

I only found out in grad school, so now I teach on this case as a part of a first year science literacy course.

Definitely not a fan of some rando being able to bill for work.

Look at this guy. Participating in democracy in an informed and proactive way.

Excellent news. Looks like applying pressure still works once in a while.

The need for persistence is very real. Hoping that your research finds a good home with thoughtful peer reviews.

That's an easy follow all!

Whenever you can, go to your friend / colleagues thesis defense. It does something good for the soul to see a group of people holding each other to a high standard and be genuinely curious about the world around us.

How do I even put "my doctoral students could not achieve their full scientific potential because they had to worry ICE would abduct them off the street while getting to lab" into a tenure impact statement?

I am very grateful for their work in my lab, and the opportunity we have to work with @falsecreekfriends.bsky.social , @hakai.org , Atelier Alpera, and @langaracollege.bsky.social

It's almost a sacred moment in a researcher's career where, for the first time, they hand off presenting their work to their mentees.

Today my students presented our proposed project to study the microbial ecology of False Creek Vancouver, and won a prize at Langara's Applied Research Day. 1/2

Brix and mortar in yaletown also has a great winter patio!

Really interested if there's a shared list; I've managed to find a couple but would love to hear about others.

S.e. Smith it's Wednesday .
