Good morning, Denton! I’m looking forward to talking with everyone at UNT today!
I grew with all of this and stating the full impacts of your proposed work in a way that your audience can understand (and aligns with their interests/goals) is especially important right now.
Working outside during the one hour it feels like fall is absolutely lovely- she says when it’s 72 F with only 82% humidity.
It was a bit chilly 😂
French pressure cell press. 14,000 PSI on like 2 square inches. Use it wrong and you can shoot the solid steel canister across the room. Used it in grad school to create inverted membrane vesicles. Terrified me esch time I used it. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_...
I don’t know if she’s stepped foot in Alachua county during her term
Cammack gives zero f*cks. I’ve called repeatedly about terminations of award to UF. She (or her staff) never responded.
Congratulations!🎉
I’m sorry. This is heartbreaking
I’d feel more loved if she ever had anyone pick up the phone at her office.
It’s in the name: carrot
This is me, too. 😞
Exactly. Congress mandated that HHS track drug use and mental illness, and HHS has an office that fulfills that statute. Every single one of us were laid off. That's an unconstitutional policy change.
Happy birthday!
And here's the link to Don't Just Do Nothing. Not my work, I just thought it was really helpful and wanted to share with people.

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated.
Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!
Last night I found out that the NSF math postdoctoral fellowship I applied for is being deleted because it does not comply with Trump’s executive orders on DEI in the federal government. I’m going to answer some FAQs and share some thoughts about this ordeal in this thread 1/n
Instead of cutting costs for working families, Donald Trump is slashing the federal investments that fund their lifesaving care, fuel their local economy, and lower their health care costs.
It’s cruel, short-sighted, and will cost jobs and devastate millions of families.
Just did this to my Senator in as Southern an accent as I could dredge up.
If you want to “Make America Healthy Again,” one of the worst things you can do is slash the budget of the world's largest public funder of biomedical research, the National Institutes of Health.
Thank you! As a former NIH-funded researcher, a current support person for NIH-funded research, and a fan of your books, I really appreciate it.
There has been a lot of discussion about the late Friday decision to cut funds provided through the NIH to scientists, effectively immediately (see @drugmonkey.bsky.social or @jeremyberg.bsky.social). I wanted to explain it in simpler terms for non-scientists (1/n)
A long post about what’s happening to the science funding agencies in the US and why. As mentioned, this one just kept getting longer even as I kept stripping curse words from it.

Look if there is anything my brief time dealing with the DSA taught me it is that a group of dedicated nerds with a book of parliamentary procedure acting in bad faith can obstruct the shit out of anything and grind an org to a halt. Get on it, Dems.
In case anyone is interested, the CIA distributed a guidebook in for office workers/bureaucrats in Nazi-occupied countries with advice on how to safely resist without placing themselves or their families in danger. Here’s the link in case anyone is curious: www.cia.gov/static/5c875...
Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #350,754!
Yes to all of this. Through the bird app, I made friends, survived grad school and my postdoc, and made professional connections. The loss of that community is what makes me sad—not the platform.
About six weeks ago, I picked up a kit to learn to crochet on a whim. I have since learned that my brain quiets when I’m crocheting. I didn’t expect middle age to hit this hard. 😂
Finally making the move over here from the bad place. Now, to find my way around. 😊
