A poster on 8.5 x 11 inch paper saga Fishtown fish facts: red lipped catfish or of ocephalus Darwini. Then a pic of that freaky fish with 4 limbs it rests on the ground and then the words “stg this fish real red-lipped batfish walk ocean floor with they flippers RLBF have RBF, not they fault RLBF have a bioluminescent lure that glows to attract dinner RLBF lipgloss is popping, RLBF lipgloss is cool, all the fish keep jockin, they chase RLBF after school RLBF got scales like armor and shine bright like a diamond Red-lipped batfish will teach you how to dougie, I can promise u that. @yaboyni Take a moment And and realize the moment You took has already passed Thank you See you next time

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

BREAKING: ‘This hurts’: UNL eliminates 4 programs despite faculty, student pleas The University of Nebraska-Lincoln eliminates the Earth and atmospheric sciences 8-0, educational administration 7-1, statistics 7-1, textiles, merchandising and fashion design 7-1 programs.

It's over.

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

Campus did a float in our parade tonight! And I’m a total idiot and video’d my feet. FML.

I mean. In 5 min, we had that much consensus. This is…not good. If it’s that obvious and admins are not doing anything about this stuff, how is this shared governance? Our past president truly ruined us.

I was at a faculty leadership cohort meeting today. About 20 professors across the university. We got in groups of 4 and were asked to make lists of the uni’s biggest issues. WE ALL MADE THE SAME LIST.

may the force be with you.

That usually means I am overwhelmed and haven’t processed feelings in a while. Good time to sit with a cuppa tea.

Sitting on my couch listening to an owl. 🦉

Remind me this is why we have so many trees next time I have to pay thousands of dollars to care for them.

Congrats!!!

😳

Umm. My office space heater was on today. It was 44F.

Y’all how has momtok survived this long.

All I want for Christmas is for the worst people in the world to experience some consequences

This is precisely why I can’t attend this year. This time of year is so hectic. I enjoy it but at this stage of my career, I need to skip it sometimes. Enjoy! There’s a vegan restaurant about 2 miles from the conference center, excellent food. Also a bottomless mimosa place nearby.

I just don’t know how we’re meant to get through the weeks and do our jobs while sympathy essentially runs out because our torture has become routine

Oceanography For Everyone Supply Depot for the OpenCTD and Oceanography for Everyone. Here you can find custom PCBS, stickers, OpenCTD kits, and other OpenCTD accessories.

Student found with guns, body armor, diagram of Univ. of Delaware police department: authorities Authorities say a University of Delaware student was arrested with weapons and a notebook with detailed drawings of the campus police department.

Our campus got lucky this was discovered. So many others aren’t. Gun reform not just now but yesterday. abc7.com/post/student...

Nah hard plastic

I can't get over the fact that they scheduled a televised Cabinet meeting, hyped it as a major event, planned it all out to show how active and in control Trump is ... and then he dozed off in the middle of it. Repeatedly.

Tiny ducks

Yup.

I have a lock but set it to be unlocked so students can grab snacks if needed. But then a student filled my office with tiny ducks so I’m reconsidering my policy.

A quote from an Axios story about a raccoon that got trashed at a North Carolina store that reads: "Why it matters: The intoxicated suspect was a raccoon."

Why it matters

The U.S. Is Funding Fewer Grants in Every Area of Science and Medicine A quiet policy change means the government is making fewer bets on long-term science.

An excellent visualization of changes to NSF and NIH funding.

listen we’ve all been there

Nick Ray for Santa

Our Dean Fabrice for Santa

Wozniak for Santa

The grad students decided that our party Santa should get voted on. All faculty were nominated. Then things started escalating…..these are now all over campus. (The one in the middle is our dean, I voted for him!)

A flyer with a dark blue and black gradient background, with five faint microbes decorating it. White bold text, in a curved line reads "Do you want to see more from us?" Beneath it is the BMA logo, and yellow neon style text saying "Donate". Undeneath that in bold white text it says "to support our mission of equity in microbiology. Link in bio"

Tennessee, vote for this lady. Imagine a world with even a single consequence for fascism.

So happy to announce our new preprint, “A geothermal amoeba sets a new upper temperature limit for eukaryotes.” We cultured a novel amoeba from Lassen Volcanic NP (CA, USA) that divides at 63°C (145°F) 🔥 - a new record for euk growth!
